Advantages: Cheap, stylish, match the evo and 5500 screen
Disadvantages: Nothing that i've noticed

...permanently engraved in my brain COMPAQ logo, and along the top centre are quick keys/short cut keys. Their are 8 short cut keys some of the functions are simple (click the one near the house and it takes you home, like a personal taxi of the internet) others are more confusing (as a result im not even going to find out what the one with lighting across the screen does). The keyboard has a homely feel to it, that you know what your getting almost ...
...of a keyboard, reliable, durable, easy to connect (it really is easy access), the quality is above what you pay, and these are cheap, so it's not a bad investment (should be less than £15 new), it responds properly. Overall a great replacement keyboard, that matches most COMPAQ pc's. ... Read review

Advantages: Easily map keys to your preferred configuration, no need to change keysets.
Disadvantages: I really cant think of one right now

I was very dubious about using this, but it came to me as a present so I dutifully went to my pc and tried it out. I followed the instructions (very simple) and installed the software on the pc, plugged it in and it worked straight away. The software needs to connect to the internet to download some updates, but it is all automatic and easy to follow. Once installed, you choose the preset configuration for the game you are about to play and it automatically ...
...This means that all the keys are set within easy reach of your left hand, and the angle of the board makes it really comfortable. You can customise all of these setups to your requirements, and change them with ease. The software is easy to use, easy to update and very user friendly. Having the dedicated section of the keyboard on the left side for all your gaming controls means that everything within easy reach, and this has improved my gaming performance. ... Read review

Advantages: Makes messaging a breeze, Can be used without being drawn away from a game
Disadvantages: Reduces controller battery life

After spending most of my time in front of a keyboard, i found text entry of any sort on a gaming console to be a tedious task. The Xbox live messenger kit is a tidy little bundle consisting of a wired headset and a neet little qwerty keyboard called a chatpad that clicks in between the 2 handles of the Xbox 360 controller. Although adding quite a chunk to the mass of the Xbox 360 controller, the chatpad is surprisingly streamline and imposes verry ...
...It contains 47 keys including independent number keys and a messenger hot key. The Letters also have 3 shift states giving a healthy collection of symbols for whatever you might need them for. It comes equipped with a jack for the wired headset and a backlight that isnt intrusive on the eyes and allows for use in dimly lit areas. It would have been nice if you could disable the backlight when its not needed because i find it puts slight dent in my ... Read review

Advantages: Perfectly designed to fit
Disadvantages: Sometimes unresponsive with some keys

MSN on Xbox 360? Perfect! This ergonomically-designed device fits perfectly and neatly into the bottom of the controller, and has been designed perfectly so that it does not hinder gameplay whilst connected. MSN can be accessed as usual via the dashboard, or if you have conversations ongoing, you can press the little MSN symbol on the chatpad, and a very little translucent screen pops up during gameplay, so you can type and receive the lastest ...
...intuitive, it is a very useful tool. Unfortunately, it does take some getting used to, and sometimes the keys are unresponsive or need hard pressing to ensure that the character appears on-screen. Also unfortunate, this means that sometimes I give up and resort to signing in on my Mac and continuing gameplay. This does not affect the overall review, however - it is a fantastically designed piece of equipment and is a definite recommendation for ... Read review
