Returned it
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Unfortunately, the bluetooth connection will drop out after only ~15 seconds, meaning that the next time you want to type something, you have to press a random button and wait another 5-8 seconds for it to reconnect. This is definitely done to save power, but it makes getting a quick comment in between Rocket League matches pretty much impossible due to the connect time. That was a dealbreaker for me. If it stayed connected at all times (regardless of the battery hit), I definitely would've kept it. If you just want to use it to casually text chat with people or comment on videos and streams and such, it will work great for you. However, if you want to get some quick trash talk in between deaths or rounds, then this isn't going to work for you, and sadly I don't know of any similar products which aren't restricted in exactly the same way. The best solution would be to use a full-size USB keyboard (a wireless one would probably work too).

Good idea but design needs reshaping
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I can only comment on the keyboard functionality, as I haven't used it to charge my controller as I play. This is a great speed convenience for sending in-game messages in GTA5 online, because standing still too long gets you assassinated. The keyboard functions well, but the body of this could use a few tweaks. I have large hands, and when this is attached I can't get my fingers all the way around the underside. Where my bottom 3 fingers usually end up is blocked by the back of the keypad. It's not a huge deal, just slightly inconvenient. Also, the angle of the keypad is too low for my liking. If the manufacturer were to angle the keypad up to almost level with the button faces, there would be more room in back and typing would be easier.

Nice Chat Pad
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's a nice well made chat pad. Works great except that it will go into some kind of sleep mode after not being used for a while and it basically disconnects from console. It takes a while to come out of sleep plus connect thru bluetooth. I'm not sure if the slow reconnect is the chat pad or the PS4. Other than that everything else with this chat pad is great. Shift key and a Function key alt characters and symbols. Everything I need to play and chat with people online.

Great Attachment!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Chatboost for PS4 makes it so much easier to chat and type messages to friends while playing online. The traditional way to entering text will frustrate anyone and this is just like having a mobile phone attached to your controller minus the call feature. It lights up and links effortlessly to your bluetooth connection on the console. So worth it for just a minimal cost. The only cons would be connecting/disconnecting it as it is a very tight fit; connecting/disconnecting it also inadvertently turns on the PS4 so make sure to disconnect before turning your PS4 off.

Decent with some draw backs
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would say the chat pad itself feels fine and seems built well. However due to the nature of blue tooth keyboards syncing to the PS4, it's a little annoying to have to turn the chat pad on and wait for it to sync before being able to use it unlike the old xbox360 chat pad. Sometimes you have to hit a few buttons before the keyboard starts working. This isn't the chat pad's fault but rather the drawback of being a bluetooth device. Also be aware the PS4 will always think you have a headset plugged in when you have the chat pad hooked up so that may mess with your audio settings.

Chatboost: Good & Bad
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the most part this mini keyboard does make things very convenient for me when I'm attempting to use text chat in some of my games. Bonuses for this item: texting convenience & controller battery recharge capability. The only downfall I see is the fact that sometimes the keys get a little jammed and I end up typing the same letter a fair amount of times before it finally stops.

Works well
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far I like this keyboard. It is far better than the PS3 keyboard I had that went on top of the controller. This does add significant weight to the controller but its nothing to really complain about. Keys are pretty nice feeling and I like them better than one of the others I have messed with that is sold on Amazon. Sometimes its a little annoying that it has to resync if you havent used it for a few minutes and it auto shuts off.

Great product if your chatty
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.With everything integrating party chat or in game chat, this makes it easy to send a quick message to someone with have having to use the controller to scroll through each individual letter. It is also nice as a battery backup to your controller. The one downfall is that it registers as an audio device so you have to go into settings to change the audio input and output every time you turn on your unit.
