Just a thought...

Just a question I've been wondering. Not sure if this is the correct place for it, but I couldn't think of a better place to post it.

A friend and I were having a conversation about playing MS with Joy2Key and an Xbox 360 controller. One of xbox's accessories that you can buy is a small keyboard that hooks into the bottom of it for instant messaging on the xbox.

My question is: If I go out and buy it, will I be able to use it to type while playing Maple? (Not to mention all of those extra buttons ). Just curious as to whether anyone has given it a try or can confirm if it works.

When you say "instant messaging on the xbox", do you mean actually on the xbox? Or on your computer using the controller?

You can use the controller to IM on the Xbox by moving the analog stick over the desired letter to send messages to people.

Mmm... if Windows has a driver to recognize the button presses, I don't see why not.
