There is a great free mapping program out there called joy2key just do a
google search for it by name. it is not very intuitive but it does everything
I need as far as remapping the buttons or assigning mouse controls to the
analog stick. I use it to have the xbox 360 controler as a remote for my
system. the only thing missing is a keyboard, thats why I started this post
for the chatpad driver.

They also need to release mapping software for the controller that includes mouse mapping to the analog sticks. You can calibrate the controller through windows but the analog mapping and triggers are all wrong. It's supposed to auto map to games that are supported by it , but there they dropped the ball. A program similar to Nyko's Air-Max flow would be perfect . I know theres 3rd party mapping software out there. But why not get it from the source and for free, ... one of the 2 outside software I've found is a $20 shareware program |

We weren't sure if the chatpad had a Windows driver, so we emailed Microsoft,
who were evidently mistaken when they replied:

QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS
Message: My name is *** I have Cerebal Palsey and have no use of my hands,
so I use a head pointer to do all my typing. At the minute I use a Datalux
keyboard which is smaller than normal and means I don’t have to move my head
so much. If possible I would like my keyboard to be smaller approximately the
size of a mobile phone keypad.
Recently I saw the xbox 360 messenger kit keyboard made by yourselves and
wondered if there is a connecter which would make it compatable with my
computer, which is a Dell Inspiron with windows Vista. I also use the
numeric keypad to control the mouse through the accessibility package that
windows has.
If you do not think the keyboard will work with my set-up can you suggest a
small keyboard which will do the job.
Hoping to hear from you soon with some suggestions.
Thanks ***
