It sounds like a lower-level issue with how the USB packets are being transmitted between the chatpad and the wireless receiver. You could try reinstalling the libUSB driver and see if that helps. 3rd party receivers don't always send the data packets in the same format as the Microsoft receivers do, and there really isn't anything I can do about it without nearly rewriting the program completely. There's so many 3rd party brands that I can't support them all, and this program was built for Microsoft-branded receivers. There's not really anything I can do about this issue if reinstalling the libUSB drivers doesn't fix the issue.
You would either have to obtain a Microsoft-branded Xbox 360 wireless receiver and use this program, or if you are on Windows 10, you have the option to get the Xbox One wireless controller and chatpad, which supports Windows 10 out of the box (see this page). These are currently your only options to have a working wireless chatpad on Windows.
