Out of the box, the PS3 console has a full featured web browser as well as built in messaging functions you can use to communicate with your friends. A plain old USB keyboard and separate mouse works OK, but sitting on your sofa with two USB cables extending from your PS3 can be quite annoying.
There is however a great solution for this enoyance. The PlayStation 3 Wireless keypad is a small, lightweight keypad that uses a spring loaded clamp to attach itself to your PS3 wireless controller. This is a great addon for your Playstation and will come in handy, especially for Home or games that require lots of typing. Using the PS3 on screen keyboard is a royal pain in the rear and PS3 Wireless keypad will definately make your life alot easier. It currently retails for $44,99 at Amazon.com
Is it worth the for $44,99? The buttons are kind of small but it does make the process of entering text much easier than the alternatives. For heavy users of the PS3’s messaging system or for anyone who has already spent hours pimping out their pad at Home especially for hours of text-based discussions, it may be a worthwhile investment.
