Can the Xbox chat pad be used for in game functions on the series X/S (example: weapon...

Hello, brokenmirrorz60. I'm Arturo, and I'll be glad to provide assistance with your inquiry today.

I'm sorry to say, but the Xbox chat pad only allows us to chat/type. So it is not possible to use it in the way you describe.

Furthermore, I know this is not the kind of answer you were expecting, but I hope it helps in some way.

Kind regards,

Arturo.

We definitely need an attachable chat pad. Am getting sick of having to start up Smartglass on my slow phone, and would prefer to have my 'controls' all in one bundle.

My suggestions for the chat pad would be to include a row of shortcut buttons, with functions such as recording a game clip when you press the button or opening Xbox Snap, like the chat/IM button on the 360's chatpad. More along this idea would be to have
programmable buttons that when pressed, will perform certain commands, eg: "Xbox, open (game/app name here)", or "Xbox, record that." You get to choose what each of these buttons will do. It'd be really neat being able to press a button on the chat pad that
opens up messages or your party, or record a game clip without having to scream at my Kinect.

Otherwise, I would love if the same format as the 360's chat pad was used, with the green and orange "shift" keys that gave access to symbols and special characters. Hopefully Microsoft will release a wireless headset soon enough, so that chat pad + mic
can be used simultaneously.

Fyi series consoles are just xboxes series x or s

Not xbox one series

Just to reduce the confusion

You gotta remember people mistake xbox one x for a series x when it comes to requirements for example flight simulator

With xbox one games they don't have a listing for s or x they are all compatible

Where series s or x just means digital or disk

Disk games don't work with series s or one s digital edition

Back to your problem.

Are you using an external hdd ?

Also when it slows down again is it because you are filling up your hdd?

As space becomes less computers do slow down

It would be better to get an external drive and put infrequent games on there so you don't too much things on your internal drive

Are you using a Series S/X?

Series S/X optimized games can only run from the internal SSD or an expansion card made specifically for the Series S/X.

Hi,

• You can play disc based Xbox One and BC games on a Series X. The Series S does not have a Blu-ray drive. Series S is a digital only console. You can't play discs on it.
• Xbox accounts work on Xbox 360, Xbox One, Windows 10, Series X and S. All you need to do is sign in. All your digital games/DLCs, achievements and save games come with you. You don't need a separate account for Series X/S. In addition, your Xbox account
  will continue to function on any of your old consoles. You just won't be able to sign in on two devices with one account at the same time.
