Engadget is reporting that Microsoft will be releasing a QWERTY thumb keyboard attachment for the XBox 360 controller making it easier to get your chat on.
Engadget had some time to play with it, and here's some information:
* The thumb keyboard plugs into the headphone / data jack on the bottom of the controller. It comes bundled with its own headset, since it doesn't pass the signal through, and cannot work with current peripherals.
* The keyboard is backlit; the chat bubble icon in the photos will be an MSN icon.
* It will be released in the summer. No word on how much, though.
* We got a chance to check it out. The tactility is nice, but it's a bit heavy with all the rest of the weight of the 360 controller.
