Texter for your in-game messaging needs
One time or the other, some of you might have wished that a full QWERTY keyboard is attached to your consoles for purposes of in-game messaging. While the Xbox 360 dashboard provides something like that already, albeit on-screen, a good number of gamers are still clamoring for an alternative.
In case you’re one of those wanting a new way to do in-game messaging, you’re in luck, or then again, maybe not. It actually depends on your outlook or how easy you can grasp complex ideas. At any rate, be informed that company Blue Orb just made a public announcement involving its advanced input system Texter. As the name implies, it can be likened to a USB keyboard that when attached to the console and game, allows players to text messages.
Included in its package are two rings that need to be attached first to both thumbsticks. One has eight colored zones and the other has eight zones with each one holding four letters of the alphabet. The left thumbstick activates Texter and is connected to the colored zones. The other one is used for selecting the letters needed to be typed. Clicking the left thumbstick once more will bring you back in the game.
Confused? Pardon, as we ourselves didn’t quite get that as well. Blue Orb, on the other hand, has claimed that the players can actually type 25 words per minute using their system. Hmm, what we can say is that it’s a good thing Texter will start shipping by early December. That means we still have a lot of time to practice just to reach that 25wpm mark set by Blue Orb. Oh well, what do you think, guys?
