Or is it a special one that you have to buy to hook up to it? Just wondering.

I think so. I bought a cheat 10 dollar ketboard from Fry's and it works. Just plug and play for me.

Last I heard, USB keyboard support was still "unofficially" supported, but sketchy at best. I keep hearing rumours about full support, but nothing confirmed yet. if anyone has heard differently, please chime in.

I gave in and bought the messaging keyboard attachment- the little thumb keyboard that plugs into the controller. It has its pros and cons.

It makes the controller a lot heavier and alters the feel, throwing off my zen but it's easily detachable so I just pop it off and throw it in the end table drawer when not in use.

Hmm I thought they had full support seeing as how I'm sure people wouldn't want to chat on Windows Live Messenger with the 360 controller. I hope they have it. If not its just stupid.
