It works for FFXIV input alongside controller!
Here is what I did to setup the device for use with my Xbox Elite Series 2 controller.- Ensured the xbox controller was fully updated via the Xbox accessories app on the Xbox.- Turned the controller off.- Plugged in the chatpad until it made a good solid connection. (It does not click into place)- Plugged the 2.4GHz receiver into the Xbox.- Turned on the controller (the chatpad lit up solid green) and immediately pressed the sync button on the chatpad.- Tested the chatpad in game and it is working perfectly.----------------------------------------Now, onto the functionality in game.This chatpad is a literal USB keyboard. I bought this because I started playing Final Fantasy XIV (FFXIV). My hope was that this chatpad could act as extra inputs for regular hotbars alongside the controller cross-bars. I disabled the direct chat setting in-game and setup a hotbar on-screen. I then setup the keybinds on the chatpad that I wanted for the hotbar. Finally, I added the actions I wanted by using the virtual mouse to drag the actions to the hotbar. It works perfectly! I now have all the general actions I need set to the hotbar and bound to the chatpad. Meanwhile all my crossbars are setup for combat. It also still has the regular keybinds for keyboard, this allows me to still quickly use the chatpad for chat by pressing enter on the chatpad and typing out my message.---------------------------------------The negatives.- The chatpad construction feels sturdy but while inserted into the controller it does have a slight flex if you press with a decent amount of force on the sides of the chatpad. As long as you don't slam down on the chatpad with a ton of force it should be ok.- It is going to decrease the battery life of the controller but not by much. The chatpad draws 40mA while the keyboard is lit but the backlight turns off after 6 seconds of no use. It also draws an extra 0.8mA when a button is pressed. Not enough to worry about for me.- The button inputs are momentary. You can't walk around continuously while using WASD input. That may be an issue for some users who want that.Overall, these negatives are not enough to be an issue to me. For some these may be dealbreakers.--------------------------------------This chatpad is amazing for the price. I can see myself using it for a long time. I will update this review if I have any issues with it or if it stops working.Ver másVer menos
