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 $49.99 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 $49.99 USD at your local store or online. Take care!

I really don’t care about the consoles, but why would you take the time to but an 8 instead of easily hitting the a, i and t keys? Grammar is very important in life.

There shouldn’t even be something like this console war gotry at all. We are meant to play games, and not fight over them; this is the companies’ job.

My people…
Sons …
My people…
Sons and daughters of SONY…
This much I vow.
The history of these days will be written in blood.
By crushing the armies of Microsoft
by seizing the games they thought to turn against us,
we were fighting for our very exclusives.
But if there are those who would deny us peace,
refuse us our rightful place in the Console War,
then…we will unleash such TERRIBLE VENGEANCE,
THAT GENERATIONS OF SYSTEMS YET UNBORN,
WILL CRY OUT IN ANGUISH!!
COPY AND PASTE IF YOU AGREE!!!!!

This looks like a great accessory, and certainly would make Home a lot better, but that’s too steep of a price tag. Even 40 is a bit of a push.
