Ahhhh Tuesday Mornings, home of the deal. Tuesday Mornings is a close out/overstock store, like Biglots but on a smaller scale. That's where I picked up the iGO Stowaway Bluetooth Keyboard that I am both reviewing and using to type this blog and the last.
The iGo Stowaway Keyboard is truthfully made to be used with pocket PCs, palms, and mobile phones. I don't think that the PS3 was ever on their agenda. But guess what It's a Bluetooth keyboard so it works just fine. The "special" buttons don't work but truthfully they don't work on the devices that it was designed for without additional drivers.
I picked this up for $40 and was pleasantly surprised to find that it worked out of the box with the PS3 with no real problems.
Things about this product that are good.
+The price
+The size, it is compact, and portable, when collapsed it fits in a case smaller than a BlueRay case. But the keys are still full size and make for easy typing.
+Runs on 2 AAA batteries
Things that are bad about this product:
-The size, it's compact so number keys are all accessed by using a "Fn" key. Also It does not fit well on my lap as it tends to fall through.
-Runs on 2 AAA batteries, built in Lithium Ion would have been better.
-poor documentation, and as a result it was kinda hard to pair the first time.
I guess what I am trying to say is that if you can also find this on "clearance" then it is a great deal for the PS3 user.
