The Xbox One controller gets a full QWERTY chat pad

Because sometimes you want to say something but would rather not use a headset or reconnect your Kinect, Microsoft has announced at Gamescom an Xbox One chat pad. Nearly identical to its Xbox 360 predecessor, the new chat pad will fit snugly on the bottom of the controller and let you thumb on a full QWERTY layout for Xbox One and Windows 10. No pricing or release date details, but Microsoft says pre-orders start today.
