The Texter™ allows the joysticks of your game controller to perform the same functions as a full keyboard for in-game and online messaging and chatting. The Texter™ provides an alternative to annoying on-screen and USB keyboards. With Joystix Pro and the Texter™, there is nothing in the way and nothing to pick up or put down. It’s an easy to use, fast, and accurate controller-typing method built right into Joystix Pro.

The two joysticks type everything you'll find on a regular keyboard. You have complete control over the ring size and location on the monitor screen. In the membership version of Joystix Pro, the Texter rings can be modified even further with different colors, transparency, and an ability to invert the rings. Even more features will be added soon.

Here’s how it works...

The Texter™ is a simple two ring typing method that appears right on the monitor of your PC during gameplay. Activate the Texter in a video game by clicking the right joystick while holding the right trigger, or if you’re at the Windows desktop by simply clicking the right joystick. Once activated, each joystick moves into one of eight zones as indicated by the inner black rings. A ball travels inside this ring to show you where your joystick is positioned.

• Both joysticks must be moved to type a character.
• Joysticks can be moved at the same time or one at a time.
• Move the right joystick to the middle of the zone that contains the character you want--no need to aim directly at the character.
• The colors around the left joystick select the character to be typed on the right. The character typed always matches the color shown in the left ring.
• Sliding the left joystick to the red zone and the right joystick to the center of the a thru e zone types the letter ‘a’.
