Circboard concept for Xbox 360 might change the way we type

Entering text on any console can be a tiresome process because you need to navigate between all the text characters on your screen and that can take a lot of your time with a standard controller, but it seems that there’s a new concept that may soon make this task a bit easier.



This new concept is called Circboard and its been designed for the Xbox 360 controller.
This concept is quite simple because all text characters are grouped so you can switch between groups with your left analog stick. You just need to move your left analog stick in your desired direction to select a group of characters and use the right analog stick or buttons to select the specific character that you want to use. In addition, you’ll be able to use the shoulder bumpers as spacebar and backspace function and left trigger for capital letters.


As you can see, Circboard sounds amazing, but it’s still a concept in the making who knows one day it may find an investor.

i hope this comes with an update soon, cux i got a xbox 2 days ago, and im really slow writing without a keypad.

isnt there keyboard that works with xbox why not just used free headset instead o.o

we need something like this on the PS3... It takes so long dragging your cursor along the virtual keyboard trying to type without a KB or key pad.

well, let me explain, xbox have a virtual keyboard, just like PS3, xbox also have their own keypad(like PS3s), stuff will be different if they do what the thread says, about the headsets, PS3 wins because you can use any bluetooth device, on xbox you have to use a headset that connects to the controller(costs $20, or comes with the $300 xbox), there is a wireless headset that costs $50, or the Kinect device that has a built-in mic(i think)
