I bought this type pad bc it did have good reviews and it is small. I didnt want an extra piece of junk lying around and with this I can store it away easily. I was looking forward to using this mostly for use on Netflix when streaming... but guess what, it doesn't work. Yipee.

** We made a mistake, I thought that you could use this for Family Feud or Wheel of Fortune or other Wii Texting games. YOU CAN NOT, IT DOESN'T WORK **

*If I am wrong please respond back with how you got this set up*


But, for the internet, it is a great keyboard!

If you like to chat with other players as you play online, this is just the thing for you. Do NOT drop money on an outrageously expensive keyboard accessory - this keypad is all you need!! I use it all the time myself online in Monster Hunter Tri. I don't know if many people are aware of this - but it is not even necessary to unplug your controller/nunchaku from your Wii remote to use this device simultaneously. Simply plug another Wii remote into this keypad and leave it on standby close at hand. Press A on the secondary Wii remote to wake it from sleep mode, then just start typing. The game knows what to do... the chat window pops up and your text goes in instantly. Needless to say, this accessory is so inexpensive, I highly recommend buying it if you even anticipate playing online on the Wii! And although some comments I've read suggest this keypad is "awkward to use," I find it comfortable to hold and easy to use.
