Chat Pad programmable keys and system accessibility

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.

Hi,

I believe that this is part of the messaging system on the console. This should only be happening if you double press the space key on the chat-pad. Can you see if that is causing it and let us know.

There are two "Programmable" keys which i can give one of a few functions. But nothing indicates something related to that. It is like opening my friend list, my party chat, take a screenshot... Such stuff.

razer sabertooth programmable controller looking good, havent had a chance to try em. if only the scuf extra pads were self programmable, that would have been an option too.
