It is what it is. It's a USB keyboard that you can plug into your PS3 to be able to type instead of using the clumsy SIXAXIS controller to do it. It's a time saver and a great relief on the wrist. Also, it's a must if you want to put YDL on your PS3.
My only gripe is that the NUMLOCK key doesn't stay on. Once you powerdown the PS3, it doesn't keep powering the USB, so anything connected to them that does not have a battery will go, too. This means that the keyboard powers off completely, so when you go to type in numbers next time, you got to keep putting th numlock key on. I know, a small issue, I could use the numbers on the top, but I like the 10 key.
Is this the keyboard's fault though? Not really, it's in the design of the PS3, but Logitech KNEW that when they made this board, so they could have made the default for the NUM as "ON" instead of off when you power it up.
Other than that, it's exactly what you're going to need to type with ease on your PS3. Logitech Playstation 3 USB Keyboard
It helps in typing names in games and in the web browser, but still some "main" keys don't work, such as "Esc", "Pg Up"...
And you will feel the lack of a mouse, meaning you'll need to have the controller all time with you, even if you are just in the internet.
Pros:
-Durable
-Long cord (8 feet)
-You know it will work with your PS3
-Price
Cons:
-Plain design (but at least it's black)
-An included palm rest would have been nice
-No included instructions on what keys do what (check out the PS3 manual at the official PlayStation website for some internet browser keyboard shortcuts [Support->Manuals->PS3->System Software User's Guide])
Notes:
-You will still need to use a PS3 controller to use certain functions, as far as I can tell
-This might be obvious, but you can also use a USB mouse with PS3
I am very satisfied with this keyboard. The connection cord is long enough and the keys are a regular size. You do still need to use a PS3 controller to act like a mouse, just like on a desktop computer, but it's easy. The price was well worth it. I like to go on the internet and this keyboard makes it easy. Also, I use it to type information that is needed when I download CD's to my PS3. I highly recommend this product!
the key board is nice for PS Home for chating "or fighting with those every so many pricks" it is the size of a reg key board very smooth typing its better than the one im using right now on my pc to right this lol the only down side to this key board is that it has a wire it would be alot better if it was wireless but hey what can i say i only paid $12 for mine and it is way worth it
It works great for my PS3. I highly recommend getting it when you need to type to you're friends and don't feel like using you're six axis or dual shock 3 controller to type. I hope it can be more useful on the PS3 web browser in the near future. I hope Sony will release a new browser soon.
Well what can I say beyond the fact that this particular model of keyboard is useful in basic text chat upon the Playstation 3 and its Playstation Network? Though it's a bit bulky considering that one is transitioning from the six axis / dualshock 3 controller to a PC worthy keyboard and something to get used to, but once it is done, one will be glad that you no longer have to use the time consuming controller-based text board. - Keyboard'
