Texter Enables In-game Messaging from Controller
Blue Orb has created a savvy device for the Xbox 360 controller which allows gamers to create messages without the Need for a full keyboard or onscreen prompts.
The Texter appears to be a USB keyboard to the console and game. Once connected, a simple double click of your controller's left thumbstick activates the Texter so you can start typing. If you click the left stick again, you get back to the game.

You need to apply two rings that come with the Texter, each one fit right around the thumbsticks. One have eight colored zones, the other has eight zones, each one holding four letters from the alphabet.
To type a letter, you select with the left thumbstick the color of the zone that has that letter and then with the right thumbstick you select the area.
