   I like this product a lot, goes very well with the PS3's web browser. You can also use it as a finger pointing device (kind of like a mouse). Amazon list's this item as a game, so how fun is it? Well, its nifty?!? 5 star nifty? I don't know, it works as expected!

   I got this keyboard to type faster when going online with my PS 3 web browser. I got it after comparing it to the logitech full wirelss keyboard. Overall, it was cheaper but it is really very small and using it is like typing on a smart phone keypad! Also there is no back light on the keys which makes it harder to see in dim light room. Now I am not using it that much. I guess I would not buy it again.

   I was pretty psyched to see this come out for the PS3. I do a lot of typing / talking on the PS3 and thought this would be a great addition.
   
   After it arrived I soon learned that:
   
   1. It significantly adds weight to the controller and makes it "top heavy"
   
   2. It is quite awkward to type with this and still feel like you have control of the PS3 controller.
   
   3. The keys are very small and typo's are a huge reality for anyone with normal sized fingers.
   
   
   I'd say that if you are strictly interested in typing to someone on the PS3, buy a bluetooth keyboard!!! Once this thing is attached to the controller, it pretty much makes it useless for anything else.
