ya, a USB extension cord could alleviate the whole distance issue, but....
then you are spending more money ona wired keyboard then the overly priced, $30 chatpad.I know for a fact you can get a wired Keyboard for at least $20, though I am sure there are deals out there where you can get one in the $10-20 range. But on average, the cheapest you will find is $20.An extension cable for USB could run ya $10-20 more, depending on length. 6-footer is probably around $10. Which is fine if you are only 12-feet (6 foot cable on KB + 6 foot extension) away from your TV. a lot of people, have humongous televisions, and 12-feet is still way too close. I have a 10-foot extension cable I got a long time ago, and it cost me something around $15-20. But this was before FFXI, I bought it for something else. So it was just a spare extension I happened to have laying around.Anyway, most probably not want to get a 10+ foot cable since the total price would cost more than the chatpad. The point here is to save money, not waste it.Now, the other solution is that there are $20-30 wireless keyboards out there, which should work with the 360. A majority of them come with a mouse, but you can just toss that aside, obviously. As long as the wireless reciever has USB connectors on it, it should work on the 360. I personally don’t know, but have been told that it does infact work.Basically, you can either get a $10 USB extension cable + a $20 USB Keyboard or find a $20-30 wireless keyboard. Then you would have something 100x better than a chatpad.
Alrighty then! God Bless.John3:16BST75/BLM75/RDM37/NIN37/SAM24/SMN37/DNC37/SCH37/PUP71
