Has anyone here used an Xbox chatpad here? Seems like a nice little keyboard for some HW hacking. Can you give any details about its interface etc?

I can. It is not standard USB, it appears to be close, though. It runs at 3.3 volts and draws 70ma, and the data lines appear to be USB based with a lock to the 360 controller in place.
Give up on any kind of hacks to these things, they are not worth it. I am not sure you could even get it working, but to use it in any way, it would need drivers written for it, and then you still have the issue of powering it.

The first link looked suspicious... If they have really got it working, it was not an easy task. They say that the chatpad has been flashed with new firmware, if so, these guys are insanely good at reverse engineering stuff.
Thanks for that second link, I was looking for something like that.
