Check out this fantastic hack. A few hackers at acidmods.com have managed to get the PSP and Microsoft’s Xbox 360 Chatpad typing. Check out the video for the full low down.

There are still a few kinks to smooth out, but the hard part seems over, with l0rdnic0 managing a tiny bit of soldiering using a PSP remote cable and some software from the Open Keyboard Project.

Here’s some of the tech specs about the mod, courtesy of l0rdnic0 himself:

My PSP’s are running CFW 4.01 M33-2, a special version of piKey and a custom flash on the Chatpad. Text input is a breeze and it works with the Sony OSK (on screen keyboard) and the Danzeff OSK under AFKIM. It does not work with PSPWrite and other ZX-81 applications because they are not compiled to do so but Jean is working on a compatible drive to make them work natively.
