Xbox 360 Messenger Kit from Microsoft
July 12, 2007 | In: Gaming Systems
Xbox 360 users have a new accessory that makes their life easier if they want to chit-chat on Xbox live.
The new gadget is called Xbox 360 Messenger Kit, and as you can see by the image, it is a QWERTY keyboard with backlit buttons plus normal directional controls.
This device easily connects to any Xbox 360 controller and provides easy to use chat capabilities while maintaining gameplay functionality in one easy-to-hold device.
The new Microsoft device for the Xbox 360 gaming system costs $30 and it includes a Chatpad and (wired) headset that raises the options for ways to communicate.

I’m not sure if it will work on Vista, but the product description says:
“Chatting with friends and family on Xbox LIVE® and Windows-based PCs is easy”
