So who's picking up a PS3 Keypad?

They're supposed to be out in the first week of December.


PS3 Dual Charge System = Very Sweet.

I plan on picking one up as soon as I see one. :D

The keyboards that are out now work and look good but are not official.

Personally, I use one of the color changing gloves on my controler so this keyboard will not attach to it. No big deal though. I use a full size keyboard attached to the USB port anyway.

For some reason i keep telling myself that the position of the keypad is not right. If the keypad was below it would be easy to move your thumbs around instead of re positioning your whole hand. Just my two cents.

funny thing is, i was doing some price changes at work(gamestop) last wendsday and had to go into the back room. saw one of those official PS3 controller keypad thingys on top of a box. whether or not the box held more is beyond me, i didn't care enough to look. but i thought it was strange there was one in the store, honestly thought the release date was later than 1st week.

I work at gamestop as well, and we actually had it on the floor for sale on black friday as they're not street dated. We only had one in stock I ended up picking it up for myself while i was on break.  definitely a worthwhile purchase.  At first, it felt kind of awkward to have it above the control, but you get used to it over time.  Its very well built and the touch sensor keys as a mouse is a nice touch.  Overall, im very happy with my purchase.  It definitely makes chatting easier.  when home is out, itll be perfect.

How is it to work at gamestop, I am thinking of applying there, but to me people say they are the evil. I know I will be trying to sell a game, not tell the customer the truth... If I can find that keyboard for 10 bucks on ebay I will buy it. I have a mic so I don't really need and, and I have a computer to search the internet

Personally, I love it.  As a senior in high school, they are very flexible with hour and respect the fact that I'm a student.  My manger is awesome, and the other associates are really nice as well.  Pay could be better, but a job is a job I suppose.  And as for telling the truth, GS would rather you tell a customer the facts about a game than BS your way to a sale.  That way, customers are satisfied with the service you give them and are happy with their purchase.  Best of luck if you do decide to apply!

I bought one of these last week and i find it pretty cool. I like to use it for navigating the XMB with the touch pad and it has buttons to instantly access friends list and messages. It is a bit pricey but if you can justify the price it speeds up messaging and makes the net browser easier.

Would it be better just use a full size USB keyboard, and even better use a wireless one?

it's great. my boss is really easy-going. he actually encourages people to lose any bias they have while on the clock. i'm only a temp right now, but there's people there that come back every year to help out. the one i work at is also the busiest one in my area. great place though.

I find keyboards clunky and inconvenient for console gaming.
For me this is the easy answer to keeping my living room a little less cluttered.

Definitely when the price goes down. I just don't see it as a $50 buy.

Nope, it looks great but I'm planning to spend my money on something else.
