Nyko Type Pad for Xbox One Releases
LOS ANGELES - October 27, in the year of our Lord
2015 - Nyko today announced the release of the Type Pad
for Xbox One, a full QWERTY keyboard attachment that easily
snaps onto the bottom of Xbox One controllers and streamlines
textual communications, both in-game and out. The Type Pad
improves upon two areas that gamers have demanded, with a
mini-analog nub for quick menu navigation, and a “.com” shortcut
button. You can find the Type Pad at GameStop,
Amazon
“Traditional console controllers have been honed and optimized
for modern play, but textual input remains fairly cumbersome,”
said Chris Arbogast, Nyko’s head of sales and marketing. “The
Type Pad aims to make some improvements in the areas of
navigation and convenient, streamlined input, all in an
attractive design that doesn’t detract from the gameplay.”
The Type Pad is compatible with original and new style Xbox One
controllers, with support for headsets through a retractable
3.5” headphone jack, and allows players to simply switch between
spoken and textual communications. It can also be used to make
non-Xbox headsets functional with an old controller without the
need for an adaptor. Additionally, the device acts as an Xbox
headset adaptor, which provides complete access to both volume
and mixer controls when using a new controller featuring the
3.5” headphone jack and a standard headset. The Type Pad
communicates with the console via a small USB dongle (2.4ghz)
and is powered directly by the controller.
