Review on MoKo Backlight Keyboard Receiver Controller by Fisseha Rodgers

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Chat Panel XB1 Compatible with PC (Linux)

Easily. This keyboard is similar to the official chat pad offered by Microsoft, but with green LED backlit keys. The USB receiver is small, not unlike the merging receivers Logitech uses, and feels like vintage phone chat keyboards from the '00s and early 2010s. Pro with Windows Controller Adapter and Cow - Doom and Fallout 4 work well with this setup for kids using Steam on their TV - just remember to put it on standby or it will revert to the PS4 -Boot the operating system, which requires a PS 4 controller to interact and run the Linux bootloader) and run Linux as intended (PopOS 20.04 on PC, Arch on PS4 Pro). Unlike on-screen keyboard consoles, Linux isn't quite there, as there's no way to interact with it via a controller (yet). That gave me the next best thing - the ability to create character names in Fallout 4, Skyrim, The Outer Worlds, and other games without having to take out a Logitech K400r. I highly recommend this keyboard for off-console use (and possibly for use on the XB1, I doubt the functionality is any different). The backlight is good and evenly distributed across the keys. The headphone jack is currently unusable for me as I don't need a headset or headphone support with my setup. The buttons have a satisfying click with each press and feel just like the MS offering. Only downside: the cost is a bit overpriced for what it is - a small format QWERTY keyboard, but I think the multi-system support (console and PC) makes up for it in my use. Overall, I highly recommend this chat keyboard/panel just for the PC compatibility and solid feel.

Pros
  • Alright!
