Still looking for drivers
I have tried a few things to get the chat pad to be recognized on the pc. I have tried a direct connection to the pc using the USB charging cable, nothing appears to work. If it was a hardware problem with the actual wireless receiver, the direct connect would resolve this. The frustrating thing is the 360 controller would make an excellent device for the car if it is teamed up with the free joy2key application which allows you to map the mouse controls to the analog joystick.
In my frustration I have set up posts on the official Microsoft hardware forum:
http://www.microsoft.com/communities...5-e99b6d798a9c
and the official xbox forum under Technical Issues:
http://forums.xbox.com/16229203/ShowPost.aspx
If you want official drivers these are the people you should be posting too.
If I find out anything as far as official or unofficial drivers go I will post the info when I get it.

good job, did you post saying something about how there are thousands of people building car pc's who are potential buyers of this product? I think this could almost double the sales, they don't seem to sell well to me.

After reading this whole thread, I'm scratching my head as to why no one has DIRECTLY hooked up the chatpad to a PC, (no contoller.)
The connectors, (aside from the audio pass-through,) are plain-old USB.
All you would need to do is build an adapter. I bet Windows will pick it up as a standard keyboard.

Not sure Windows would pick it up as a keyboard or not but sure should be easy to try for whoever has a chat pad and a spare USB cable... Just snip one end of the cable and strip down the four wires..
Before connecting them to the chat pad probe where the chatpad plugs in on the controller and find out which pin draws 5 volts (should be the far right or the far left). Note which pin it is and then wire up the chat pad:
Pin 1 Red VBUS (5 volts)
Pin 2 White D-
Pin 3 Green D+
Pin 4 Black Ground

didn't someone already try to directly connect it to a PC?
Now I don't remember anyone actually wiring up the usb connection so I could be mistaken.

I believe someone connected the controller with the chatpad plugged into it but not the chatpad alone..

those were thoughts I had, either the keyboard has a keyboard controller on board or maybe being able to use a keyboard controller from another keyboard & then tapping into the matrix of this one. I'm sure theres a way, but yeah, would be great if there is a standard usb keyboard controller in this thing already, & sure, that's very possible.
I haven't yet cause I've been still working on other things in my install, & because intially there looked like there may be hope of a driver coming that would make this unecissary, I have 2 of these so one's ok to butcher for testing...
I may be able to test this soon...

I doubt you will have to butcher anything. I bet the controller is in the chatpad. It's a regular USB connection, and as soon as someone makes a rigged cable for it, you can test it.

Right, you won't be butchering the chatpad at all. Just snipping the end off a usb cable and putting the wires on the chatpad contacts.
