PlayStation 3 Wireless keypad for Wireless Controller (accessory)

Customer Review

I have the keyboard now good 2 days and am quite happy with it, however, give only 4 stars because the "Touchpad function" was rather less well implemented. But I will get an exact equal.

The first thing to the keyboard with the USB cable (not included, but the same as that of the controller) to the PS3, so the PS3 to recognize them. This one probably takes 2 seconds after that you can start immediately. Thus, one clamps the keyboard to the controller, and turns it. Incidentally, it fits exactly in shape and color to the controller and actually does not interfere with the play. But if you want to take it closely, you can not move until it stops right above or on the top left, the two analog sticks. This is however not decisive distances and I can not really imagine that it interferes with any game. Resistance 2 I could in any case play without problems. But I think it still does not hurt to know that before you buy them.
Of course, the controller is also a little bit harder, but about you may also be overlooked. The difference is similar to that of the Sixaxis and DualShock 3 controllers.
With the keyboard you can now navigate through menu's (the reaction time is not longer than that of the controller) and write lyrics. Here the keys you have to look hard at yourself first. Some are triple occupied, which means that you can tap various characters with a key 3 by either normal or it expresses the same time the left or right shoulder button (the keyboard!) Pressed.
The keys and the characters are extremely small, which is unavoidable in the overall size of course, but you have to provide adequate lighting to especially be able to detect the 2nd and 3rd Keys! A switched on and off light function would be very helpful, but certainly connected also difficult to implement and have a negative impact on the battery life.
For additional advantages of the "hot key" ensure that are above the "Select" and "Start" buttons. This can be reached by a button to your friend list or the Inbox.
What, however, is somewhat absurd: One would have to save one of the two keys! Both bring a to exactly the same menu in the XMB. Nevertheless, the quick keys are handy and offer an advantage to ordinary USB or Bluetooth keyboards.

After I tested the text entry, I turned to the function that was most interesting for me: The touchpad.
I started the Internet browser of the PS3 and calibrated the touch pad first, as I pressed 2 seconds the dedicated button. That was surprisingly even anything to make the calibration has been completed.
Now I ran a finger over the keys and found that it is unfortunately still easier to navigate the mouse with the analog stick on the controller. The function can not be compared with the normal touchpad of a notebook because it is very difficult, so the mouse exactly to move and hit exactly a particular button! Especially the "hubbligen" and strange smooth buttons of the keyboard are a hindrance here.
So I advise against the keyboard to buy just because of the Touch Pad! Because it does a Bluetooth or USB mouse much better!

Conclusion:
The keypad still remains a very practical accessory that optimally adapts the controller and navigate the annoying on-screen keyboard saves. It's worth it even for those who have previously had a USB keyboard, such as I now not even the controller has to put it down myself to enter a text. That's just in Playstation's "Home" very convenient!
I admit the keyboard so 4 star + my buy recommendation. She holds except the touchpad everything it promises.
