Reddit reviews Xbox One Chatpad + Chat Headset (plugs directly into Chatpad)

They are called Chatpads.

> For me, I think it would be awesome if they sold the controllers with a rechargeable (and removable) battery and add a button or two for screenshots/recording.

Get yourself a play-and-charge kit and a chatpad for your existing controller.

That one doesn't, but the chatpad allows for limited mapping. I don't think there's any push to talk, though. Personally, I feel like an accessible mute button is enough for me.

That's unfortunate....I really like the thing.

This thing also has the buttons: https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-Chatpad-Chat-Headset-plugs-directly/dp/B0136JPA56 ...but it's bulkier, and the main buttons you'd want are smaller.

Only the standard Xbox methods, double tap + Y, "Xbox take Screenshot," or the X1 button on the chatpad.

The Official MS one. https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-Chatpad-Chat-Headset-plugs-directly/dp/B0136JPA56

It's from Microsoft. Here's a link on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-Chatpad-Chat-Headset-plugs-directly/dp/B0136JPA56

Also, if you have this adapter on your Xbone controller, you can type from the controller, too, therefore completely replacing your mouse and keyboard.

Wireless KBM is probably what I would end up doing.

But really I was considering getting one of these for my controller, if it worked for Skyrim hotkeys. I haven't had a chance to read up on it yet.

Have never tried playing Skyrim via controller or on big screen, because I need muh hotkeys, and Dragons Dogma is unplayable via KBM, imo (the UI nav is ridiculous, to say the least), so was looking for a solution to play both from my couch with a controller, for funsies.

Also, was finally checking out the Lock On mod the other day. Looks like it'd be great for couch warrior, joystick combat.

I'm surprised they're not at major retailers. I can have one delivered to me within 2 hours from Amazon Prime Now. $24.99 plus taxes, delivery fee and tip so it ends up being closer to $35 anyway but if they have it I bet some places you're not thinking to check will have them for the standard $24.99 price.

Edit: you can also get this - https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-Chatpad-Chat-Headset-plugs-directly/dp/B0136JPA56

That has a 3.5mm jack and the same audio controls as the adapter plus a keyboard and it also comes with a cheap headset. My friend just got one to replace his headset adapter that stopped working.

Get the official chatpad. That's what I use. Then you don't have to worry about wires and you are still able to plug a headset in if needed. There are also two programmable buttons at the bottom for whatever your heart desires (I use mine to turn the TV volume up and down). It's also backlit and times put after about 10 seconds of no use.

I've been wanting to get these for the longest time.

You may want to consider changing your order to this for the extra functionality.

I suggest you try one of these instead, since it has all the same functions and more. I love my Chatpad!

It does take a tad more space though.

Buy one of these.

So, you mean that I could hear my own voice (and manage game/players volume) with this accessory ?

You can bluetooth with the PS3/4. My old Turtle Beach Earforce PX5 headset only needed a chat wire for the xbox one and xbox 360.

The headset I want does game audio along with chat. So it's better than a standard headset.

An alternative to getting the chat adapter is this it has the same use as a headset adapter with the keyboard.

AmazonBasics Chat Headset for Xbox One = $9.99 is the one I got, but I should have gotten; Xbox One Chatpad + Chat Headset = $26.84

This is probably what you'd call the modern equivalent.

You need one of these

Dunno if the headset stuff works, but otherwise it's totally functional. Great little gadget.

Yeah, I use a charging pad too. I have to remove the pad to charge them. But this is the one I use.

I mean using a controller keyboard, like this one.

You can get the Microsoft one that has a lot more features and an extra mic for $30, or you can get an Ortz chatpad that has less features and is $25. I really like my Microsoft one. You can map keys to do certain things, like pull up the friends list or take a game clip in the push of a button. There's a lot of complaints on Amazon about the Microsoft one but I've never had a problem.

Why isn't Cortana available in your geographical location? I didn't know that was region specific.
