just to tell everyone who doesn't know already,they made an update for the messenger pad through xbox live,so now the wireless headset issue is fixed.
so many people were complaining to microsoft about this so thats why they made the update.

Way overdone solution for the quadrant use problem. I had the same problem of the controller thinking a headset was plugged when the chat pad was attached or even when it was removed. It wouldn't let me set my wireless mic to quadrant one. Opened up just the controller to test some contact points and found all you need is a single jumper wire on two of the 2.5mm jack solder connections.

Keeps the badly designed 2.5mm socket from always reporting something as plugged in, lets me use the wireless along with the chat pad, and best of all if I plug a headset into either the chat pad or controller it correctly takes precedence and works perfectly.

1/100 the effort of this and undoing it is simple as removing a single jumper wire. Haven't found need to remove it on the three wireless controllers I used this method on.

looks professional but loose the capital letters. (i have not used a single capital in this post, in fact, i am starting a movement: the alice's restaurant anti-capital movement. (arlo guthrie reference for those of you cool enough to have heard the song.) join this movement and never use another capital letter again! reply/pm me if you decide to join.)

I disagree, we Grammar Nazis are against both the Caps Lock movement and the Alice's Restaurant Anti-Capital movement. As a matter of fact, we intend on destroying you all in a global holocaust.

this is retarted you cant take off the messenger kit this way! and please do us all a favor and turn off the caps lock!

Ok, the vast majority of the Caps-Lock advice in these comments is just plain rude, and most of these people should be ashamed of themselves. But I do agree that all caps makes it difficult to read all the text, and suggest that you not use that technique on your next instructable.

That having been said, do you know what the problem is that was causing the chat pad and the WIRELESS headset (since most of the other commenters seem to have missed that detail) from working together in the first place? I have yet to get a WIRELESS headset, so I have yet to experience the problem. Basically, I want to know what the problem is, and how exactly this modification fixes it.

I use the Messenger kit (i.e. Keyboard with headset plugged into it) all the time to play on-line CoD 4 and GoW2 and I do not see the point of your Instructable. If your device does not work, just return it !!
