Microsoft’s Xbox One and Xbox One S appear to have fallen well behind Sony’s PS4 lineup during this console generation, but sales numbers hardly tell the whole story. The Xbox One is a terrific video game console and multimedia hub, but there is one pretty annoying issue: typing is a huge pain in the butt. If you’re going to use your Microsoft gaming box for anything other than just gaming, you definitely need to pick up an Xbox One Chatpad, which is discounted right now on Amazon (including a free headset).

  • This product includes a Chatpad and a Chat Headset with a 3.5mm jack that you can plug directly into the Chatpad. The Xbox One Wireless Controller is sold separately.
  • Compatible with the original Xbox One Wireless controller and the new white Xbox Wireless Controller.
  • Includes a full QWERTY keyboard and a backlit keypad so you can type in the dark.
  • Includes audio control at your fingertips including volume, game/chat mix, and mic mute.
  • Includes two new programmable buttons which will give you access to your favorite features like Game DVR, taking screenshots or launching apps at the touch of a button.
