"Fits perfect on the controller... plus it makes it look awesome!"
"I'm going to make this review quick and sweet: If you're tired of using the on-screen keyboard and have a bunch of friends on your list, this is a must for you, especially if you're a chathead on Xbox Live managing a large friends list. If you love technology and fancy the keyboard like doo-dads ... this is your buddy right here, trust me. Last line: Yeah, plenty of people will complain about Microsoft's products being too high, but I must say ... their merchandises are HELL OF WORTH IT!"
"When I text someone on Xbox Live (and I do it fast) when I go back and read what I texted it'll sometimes enter the a,v and c letters and sometimes it doesn't."
"This is a great device for text input. I find that text messages are clearer than sending voice messages, and when you can't get a voice connection for whatever reason, the text messages always make it through."
"on their Xbox. - Anyone who uses the twitter or facebook app. - Anyone who messages their friends on the Xbox. This really does make everything on the xbox a lot easier!"

"If it's aligned properly and snapped into place, the keyboard should light up when any key is pressed."
"Just google Xbox 360 Wireless Chatpad for wireless controllers or Chatpad Super Driver for wired controllers."
"it was ever so slightly used, it was apparent by the reflective "microsoft" sticker on the back, that had some scrapes in it, and the "G" key is dimmer than the other ones."
"Inputting text by scrolling through letters one at a time with a cursor is horrible! You can remove it, but attachment requires quite a bit of force; I have two remotes so one of them has the keyboard on full time."
"Super easy to use and does have a plug on it so he can plug his headphones into the actual keyboard to use both at the same time!"
"It's so much easier to search, chat, and type on the xbox with a keyboard."
"I have to join the chorus of people who received dead units."
This keypad features a total of 47 keys, including 0-9 number, 26 English letter & assistant keys. Easily connects to any Xbox 360 controller. Bottom audio jack fits with 2.5mm earphones or Xbox 360 original earphones. 1x Keyboard for Xbox 360 Controller (XBOX 360 is not included). This controller keyboard makes text messaging on your Xbox 360 as simple as A, B, C!

Find Best Price at Amazon"Back in those times with the plastic d-pad you didn't have to worry about this issue and with the N64 with the plastic analog (a memory of Mario party blister fest on the palm) you didn't need to worry about this but now as controllers include thumb sticks/analog that have a rubber outer layer for comfort and grip, they get worn rather fast."
"I put these on just about all of my controllers!"
"I got these because I was warned that the analogs on the PS4 controller wear off easily so I got these as preventive measure."
"Also the knobs are pretty hard and do make your thumbs sore after a long gaming session."
"Still is great though, as height and thickness to the analog, which can be a huge factor such as FIFA players as I've seen in the past."
"the only problem is they are a little too thick and effects some game play."
"Maybe some superglue will hold them in place, but, I'm not gluing these to any controller. If you're like me and nom-nom on Jalepeno Cheetos, Salsa Verde Doritos, and/or pizza, while Rocket League-ing then your controller gets the SSASPIHRYOG ("Sad, Single and Somewhat Pathetic, Introverted, Harley Rider, Yorkie Owner, Gardener") glaze."
"These do not fit correctly and they constantly pop off of the playstation 4 controllers."

Many of the other dances are pop songs geared toward tween girls of course but they have a great selection of classics and goofy tunes/dances that are fun for everybody."
"We opened it Christmas day and were all excited to play until it didn't work! The order actually came two days early which was great because we had a huge snow storm that day and what better way to not go outside and play in the snow than play Just Dance 4! They have some songs that appeal to the games older audience and of course songs that were major hits in the last year or so."
"We bought this hoping that it would compensate for being indoors over the winter months. I don't know if I heard it right, but I don't think it's great to be listening to it over and over, even though the kids assured me the songs had the "bad words" edited out. One reviewer wrote it was difficult for the kinect to identify all 4 players when they danced at the same time. We really appreciate having something FUN to do INDOORS for exercise that makes you look forward to doing it, rather than avoiding it!"
"The Wii version is better due to the fact you just hold the controller unlike the kinect that must identify your hands, face, etc."

Seat: The seat is made of fabric material, and it looks pretty solid. Seat itself is deep bright blue ( I picked the color). Extremely adjustable: seat sliders, reclining backrest, up/down forward backward wheel position, forward backward pedal plate."
"Hey guys, I ordered my Logitech G27 steering wheel: Logitech G27 Racing Wheel and the OpenWheeler gaming seat sim came as recommended item by Amazon, in addition to the wheel so I gave it a shot. I did a quick video tour of my setup, mostly for G27 but obviously you can get an idea of the seat from it as well."
"Great seat and wheel mount system."
"If the bottom structure was maybe another 5 or 6 inches deeper and the chair sat just a bit higher off the ground I think it would be even better, but overall, it's a great product."
"The biggest issue I find is with the wheel height adjuster digging into my knee a little - planning on replacing the nice big adjustment knob with a bolt to eliminate issue."
"There are so many great reviews on this seat/cockpit I wont add to much other than seldom do you get a product that is so great."
"I'm looking forward to mounting my HOTAS (Saitek x45) so I can play Elite Dangerous and other various flight sims as well."
"Works very nice for my setup (Logitech G920 Driving Force Racing Wheel and G Driving Force Shifter.)."

"Pleasantly surprised to have received the Konami brand mic, as I didn't really care which brand of mic it was, all I wanted was a mic to play Rock Band3 on PS3."
"If you want a cheap USB mic to plug into your computer, this is literally the cheapest thing you can find."
"This is an awesome microphone."
"This worked out well with the Xbox 360 games that required a microphone."
"You know how this works, ask grandchildren what they want and you get the list, then a week before Christmas, there is the statement "Hey Mom you know what I really would like......" Now the way this goes is Mom calls grand mom and relays the message."
"I was hoping that the game would "grade" your singing like in rock band but the effect still allows a third prayer to get involved."
"I ordered this excited to have a Logitech mic again."

"After thinking it was a simple battery issue, I've replaced the batteries 3 times, changed the xbox setttings from both remotes to xbox 360 media remote only. I would like to say the remote was wonderful when it worked, but the IR has to be very close to the xbox console to even work so I think I'll make room on my computer desk for a bulky xbox 360 controller which can change the xbox to the next tv show every 40 minutes without me getting up!"
"Used the auto scan feature on a 7 year old samsung and the first "channel up" got the TV programmed."
"I figured out how to use the awkward remote, but was consistently frustrated as I pressed several buttons in order to do something as simple as fast-forward, pause or bring up subtitles."
"I purchase this remote so that I don't have to use my controller when using my Xbox for Netflix and other programs like that."
"I've only used it to control playback of recorded videos using my new Xbox 360's media extender function, and only for a couple of weeks; but, I've used it a lot with many World Cup, Tour de France, and other recordings, and using all or most media center functions. In comparing it to an old HP Windows Media Center remote I have from an 8-year old, now-back-up, HP PC, I much prefer this Microsoft remote's compact and attractive design."
"But like I said the remote itself was fine and works great."
"And it's working great on the last gen 360 (the sleek black model just before the One came out)."

Microsoft 'documentation' for this controller is pitiful or non-existent..they don't even tell you where the sync button is on the controller to effect the method listed below.....it's a small button on the very front of the controller."
"Had these before and was not disappointed by how they work with the PC and games. However, the description states the receiver is not included with this item."
"My controller is perfectly responsive with no lag and I have yet to change my batteries."
"I really like the controller, connects easily via USB wireless receiver to my PC- and charges with a separate USB plug."
"I've went through a number of gamepads over the years, dating back to when they connected to the PC via an analogue gameport. I've had pads from the likes of Thrustmaster, Saitek and a few others, most recently using a PS2 controller via a USB Adapter, which was far from ideal. Not so here; the controller is a nice size, the analogue sticks are positioned well in range of my thumbs, and the overall balance of the gamepad feels good. Instead of relying on a LiPo pack that may or may not survive more than a year's worth of use (I've heard really bad things about the kit that adds a Lithium battery to the controller) NiMh rechargeable AA's tend to be quite robust, and they're dirt cheap. Having it mapped to the Xbox 360 controller layout was a smart move on Valve's part as they were able to concentrate on the on-screen prompts being consistent, etc. For those of you that haven't already discovered this essential little piece of software, you can get it here: http://pety.me/XboxExt/. Save it wherever, add a shortcut in your "Startup" start menu folder, and then forget about it. Honestly, this utility removes the one problem I had with the gamepad, and does it so effectively that I can't help but wonder why Microsoft didn't ship it with something similar."
"Product loses a star because both joysticks on all 3 controllers make an annoying creak/squeak 99% of the time."
"Received knock-off, brand-less controller labeled TY-G403A that was much cheaper and obviously not official."
