PC Controller: Text Chat?

Raevyness

This is just a quick question, I know controller support was given to the PC and I have thoroughly enjoyed using it while in bed and questing.
However, the text chat function while using the controller is not available? Under social I can find the chat and read what others have said, there's even a text box i can select, however that is all. There is no way I can type using the controller on PC (like on screen keyboard or whatever)?
So, if I want to talk in chat to my group I must type using the keyboard, is this the only way? No addons?
Is there any word about getting the text chat to work with the controller for PC?

Thanks!

Bump?

If you are using Xbox One controller you can also get a Chatpad to use with it. I personally have one and can confirm it works, although I prefer typing my chat via my keyboard and just using the Chatpad for keybinds.

As far as other controllers go... I'm not sure what the PS controllers have if anything, and the 360 controller's Chatpad was never given drivers for PC although there may be some aftermarket ones that will work as wireless keyboards.

The only keyboard gamepad combo confirmed for windows 10 is the Xbox one controller and chatpad as mentioned above. It may even work with win7 but I'm not sure.

PC gamepad support is still in beta but I'm really hoping that they'll finish it off as I'm really enjoying using my Xbox 360 controller.

At present though it's still a controller/keyboard setup for me. If you don't have an Xbox One controller with chatpad you should be able to pick up a small wireless keyboard for the PC so that you can still play in bed!

Hi Guys!
Thanks for your comments. I only have a 360 controller and am really not looking to buy a xbox one controller as they are 100$ AUD. I do hope that the devs work on the gamepad support more and do incorporate a keyboard that pops up in ESO so those of us who like to quest and use controllers can type easier without the use of a keyboard.

79-89 AUD from memory at JB Hi-Fi.. you might even be able to get some 360 model chatpads still, but i kinda doubt that.

Any reason you don't want to use the PC keyboard itself? I find nothing can really ever outdo an actual keyboard for typing.

No an Xbox 360 chatpad is not compatible.

It's Xbox one and chatpad or get a USB chatpad.
