        Really too bad there hasn't been any progress on this. :(

            xboxdrv should create a new system event for the chatpad, so you should be able to run evtest on the keyboard event if it exists.

              I know this is an old topic but I was reading it just before I tried out the xboxdrv from https://github.com/zerojay/xboxdrv/ and I thought I'd just let you know... having built and tested it all you have to do is launch xboxdrv with the --chatpad option and it works perfectly.

              I don't use retropie so I don't know where you need to make this change, but that is all that is required. My main annoyance with it is that I can't find a tab key... but it works well, I'm writing this post with it on my laptop.
