Microsoft Xbox 360 Messenger Kit
Editors' rating: 3.5
The good: Allows for chatting and messaging over Xbox Live; solid tactile buttons; light-up display; comes with headset.
The bad: Chatpad attachment takes some getting used to on controller; backspace button location oddly placed.
The bottom line: The Xbox 360 Messenger Kit makes for the best text-entry option for chatting and messaging on the Xbox 360.
