HELP! I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY XBOX ONE!

Hey everyone. Sounds like a thread you hear everyday on these dying or dead, forums.

I've had Xbox One since it launched November 2013. Yet I haven't even got a chat pad for it yet. When I got Xbox 360, I got a chat pad for it within my first year of joining. Yet it's 2017 and I don't even have one. Chat pads make it incredibly quicker text
messaging friends and peeps on XBL. Yes you could use your phone or this website or Xbox App Windows 10 to do it. But chat pads definitely do have there convenience rather than using the arrows and buttons and malakae (yes, I invented a new word) on the controller
to navigate the onscreen UI keyboard that Microsoft makes aka the UI/Dash/OS. You can see my predicament.

I also checked out other stuff here

Are Microsoft serious? An Xbox controller stand?! That's cool. I will definitely be upgrading my original Xbox One console to the all new and powerful and beast specs Xbox One X console which will be NZ$749 or AU$649. I do have a Kinect for Xbox One which
I love and will be keeping. Just need to get a Kinect dongle for it. Ok the average person may not be interested in Kinect. But when it came out for Xbox 360, there was a lot of hype about it. With the Xbox One version of it, you can scan QR does, play some
game titles which support it like Kinect Sports Rivals, Zoo Tycoon, etc, use it to sign in securely on your console, voice chat, voice message, etc. I do not have Kinect for Xbox 360 and haven't seen the point for getting one for 360 since Microsoft has stopped
the manufacturing process for Xbox 360, and since the Xbox One Kinect is better with 'need I quote it's specs?'....

I will check from JB Hi Fi or EB Games if they have the chatpad in stock. If not, I'll see if I can buy one from Phil Spencer aka Microsoft boss of Xbox.

Have a happy summer or winter day. In Australia/NZ it's winter for us, but we'll be the ones partying over December January when we get our long summer holidays.

i have a problem with my xbox

Hello,

Please stop making new threads over and over and over again. You will be granted Xbox Beta Access when a forum support agent can verify you have the beta on your console.

Your previous threads are located here, and
here I'm sure you have more.

Making new posts about the same situation each day won't help you get access any faster.

 

What,you mean like this

 

They have them on in the U.K. store here on this very site so they should have them on yours.

 

Don't waste your money on a chatpad. The One supports USB keyboards for text input and they can be picked up for a fraction of the price of a chatpad.

 

"But chatpads definitely do have there [sic] convenience rather than using the arrows and buttons and malakae (yes, I invented a new word) on the controller..."

No, the word you're looking for is "malarkey". You misspelled it (ditto for "their"). It means nonsense. Another nonsensical thread - or should be that non-thread? Zen Like Calm hit the nail on the head. Chatpads are all but redundant when you can simply
jack in a keyboard and type to your heart's content. I thoroughly recommend the 'Microsoft 600 Wired' - I have three of them and they're all color correct with my white One S.

 

I do have a Microsoft 900 Wireless keyboard and mouse (comes with wireless encryption according to Microsoft). I use it for my custom high end desktop PC. I prefer no wires as they tie you down and don't give you the freedom that wireless does. I remember
this big poster of a dog on a leash and dog without a leash from Vodafone NZ which was posted on a building in my city CBD. It was hard to miss. And wires can be a tripping hazard too. Especially from your sitting area to your TV. But both wired and wireless,
have there pros and cons. I also have a wireless turtle beach 500x Dolby 7.1 headset which is compatible with Xbox 360 and Xbox One (chat and game sound). The only difference is I need to hook up a removable chat cable between the headset and your 360 controller,
to chat (which turtle beach game me the chat cable, for free). I just know who will probably come on this thread and mention why did I not quote you know what. Maybe I should quote the specs for Xbox One's Kinect since I have one and never quoted the specs
for Kinect. Just a passive 1080p thingy. I've quoted the specs to Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox One X. A lot of people were quoting the specs when Xbox One came out, as a lot of people were going on why Xbox was using DDR3 when GDDR5 is better for gaming. Even
Xbox 360 uses GDDR3. And the UI on 360 performs very fluid.

However specs is not all that matters to me, though it helps in performance. It's about features too. And back in 2010, it was Xbox 360 that won in terms of features. Most people on social media recommended me with Xbox and that's what I chose. I also joined
because I got fed up of The Sims 3 crashing on my more than capable laptop. With Xbox, there's no system requirements thingy that PC has. I did take up again PC gaming mid last year, for Planet Coaster and The Sims 4 since those games are not on console and
I really like them. That was when I got my flash first custom PC. I Got a PC for 2-5 games? Yes because I love Planet Coaster and The Sims 4. But I don't love the frame rate which all average laptops provide. Party Chat (which the competition at the time did
not have, not to be confused with Game Chat, Party Chat lets you chat with up to 8 (on 360) people while those people can be playing different games/apps on there console and still have a chat). It has voice messaging, picture messaging which isn't really
used much (I remember a friend who I deleted sending me a picture of himself poking out his tongue to see what colour his food had left on his tongue). And it has a great variety of peeps on XBL too.

I will try hooking up my keyboard and mouse tomorrow and see if it works. I'll do it before I leave in the morning. If it doesn't work, trade me nz has one going for NZ$23 and it's an official Xbox One chat pad. As for the price I paid for my Microsoft 900,
it was NZ$59.95. Which could be more than what Microsoft is charging for the Xbox chat pad. But I decided to go for kind of the more premium keyboard options for my PC. I like the keys on the 900 keyboard, they're not big clunky keys. They're the same type
of keys used on my laptop too. And no, I won't re-quote the specs to that. Not this time.

I'll actually try hooking up my keyboard now since it's 8:23 pm.

 

It works! Well the Microsoft 900 is a Microsoft product.

I did try a cheap wireless qwerty keyboard I got from a friend 2 years ago, but that didn't work.

Thanks to everyone who participated in this thread. As a reward, I won't post my PC/laptop specs for the rest of this month. Just be cautious I may post specs for any Xbox product (One, 360, Kinect). I want to try it for Kinect.

 

When you get the Xbox One X, I'd actually be interested in seeing what you think of it compared to your PC.

YouTubers might try and tell people that a $400 PC will thrash the Xbox One X but I highly doubt it.

 

You currently can't build a strict cap of $499 PC which thrashes all of Xbox One X's specs whilst that system is made out of quality parts which come with a 12 month warranty as standard and has only ONE manufacturer you can turn to for warranty claims.

As for Xbox Play Anywhere, when the X comes out, I will play my-Xbox-purchased games, on that, not PC. Because the X has impressive specs and offers simplicity and I like to have fun with my Kinect.

As for the chat pad, I won't be getting it now. Microsoft allows us to purchase custom designed/colour (commonwealth English aka UK, NZ, Australia) or color (American slang XD) controllers. Or you can get paint from a hardware store
and just paint the thing. If you live in NZ/Australia/UK you should really be spelling it colour XD. It would be great if they rolled out the feature for consoles too. I watched a YouTube video where someone made an actual something carat gold Xbox One. Someone
else did the same for toilet paper, pizza, burger, etc. I tend not to be formal on this site since it is a social media site. So I will invent a new way of spelling it, karlar. It's got a squiggly line under it. But this forum is run by an American spell checker.
I consider this thread resolved. No further posts here for me, though others may want to continue it.

 

This forum doesn't have a built in spell checker, so you may wish to check the one that is likely built into your browser is using the correct language settings.

 

Most people have a Windows PC. And I don't need links to prove it. Microsoft is the biggest software company in the world. Mine is Windows 10 and user the latest version of IE11 but for this forum it seems to load better on Edge.
Since it's Microsoft who makes this stuff, the spell checker is definitely American, not commonwealth English (UK/NZ/AU).

 

If I were the *paranoid* type, I could've sworn (oo-er!) that you were having a poke at me, as regards the Americanization of certain words. Doesn't matter if you're running your life through spellcheck or if you're just making shiz up. Have you ever stopped
to think that a person's education or upbringing might've contributed to their social stance; or that a person holding dual citizenship might just view the world through a different prism? At any rate, whether or not spellcheck defines your life, these message
boards are presumably hosted on American servers (ie, the address bar is showing "en-US/"), so therefore all chat is global - or globalized.

As regards your claim that Microsoft allows custom color controllers - that may be true for some regions, but last time I checked it wasn't an option in AU or NZ. And I would strongly advise against simply dunking your controller in Dulux (unless you know
the ins-and-outs of properly modding a peripheral, which entails taking things apart before overhauling the chassis). Just a thought

 

Custom controllers are only available in the U.S. & parts of Europe at the moment.

They are almost twice the price of a normal colour controller.

Personally I think it's a waste of money,as long as my controller works I don't care what colour it is.
