Playstation 3 (PS3) Wireless Keypad Review
In this video, I review the wireless keypad for the Sony Playstation 3 (PS3) console.
This wireless keypad attaches to the PS3 Six Axis controller and is available for sale today for .99 USD. The device has a USB connector at the top which is used to charge it. It has its own battery which isn’t replaceable much like the Six Axis controller.
Thankfully, it has it’s own power switch to turn the keypad on and off manually. It has buttons for the Select, Start, and Playstations buttons which work with your existing controller.
Along the top of the device are two meta buttons, one blue, and one orange. To type the orange and blue keys on the keypad, one would have to use the each respective meta key. Shift is not used for these characters and is only used for capitalization.
As for comfort, I couldn’t type very well until I figured out that I needed to slide my thumbs up from the normal position. Once I did that, I was able to type fairly easily.
A great feature of the wireless pad which I have not seen before, is that the entire keypad acts as a trackpad! To turn this on, there’s a toggle button along the bottom which looks like a finger. The sensitivity of the trackpad is not great (given it’s design, it’s understandable), but it is usable for couch surfing and basic tasks.
Also along the bottom are two more keys: A message box button and a friends list shortcut.
If you have a PS3, and send messages to your friends, this is a good investment. It’s also good for Playstation Home usage and also if you use the web browser on the PS3.
The touchpad feature is new and innovative and I applaud Sony for doing something this cool. Again, this keypad is .99 USD at your local store or online. Take care!

Ben Patterson - Zune users have been able to sync their music and videos over Wi-Fi for years now — not so for patrons of the iPhone or iPod Touch, which can only sync up files via USB tethering. That said, an enterprising developer is looking to change the game when it comes to wireless iPhone and/or iPod Touch syncing ... if Apple will let him, that is. […]
Ben Patterson - What's the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to a BlackBerry? For me, it's Research In Motion's iconic QWERTY keypad, or at the very least the modified "SureType" keyboard, which crams a couple of letter keys on each number key. So it's a little jarring to get a load of RIM's new, pumped-up Pearl […]
