bit-tech Shopping: Logitech Cordless MediaBoard (PS3)

Rating: 6

Time with product: 1 Month

Strengths: Works great without drivers and installed right away on Vista 64-bit. Touchpad is solid and scrolling works great

Weaknesses: This is a flimsy very cheaply made

Summary: If you want a wireless keyboard for ps3 get a bluetooth one this keyboard takes up a usb slot like its a usb board but its designed in a way that only the ps3 has fireware compatibility with. Avoid buying this product if you use your ps3 to play ps2 games

Strengths: Simple and straightforward to use, no problems with set-up

Weaknesses: Pretty cheap and it does not include a number pad above or below the mousepad

Summary: The lightweight materials of the keyboard may make it seem cheap to some, but this is a great feature if you have it on your lap for a while. The keyboard/mouse combo also works great for navigating the XMB and also using the PS3 web browser. Also, it works to type messages in various games (like Home).

Strengths: The media keyboard makes life so much easier. It is not so easy to type with the PS3 controller. With the keyboard it is a breeze. This item is a must for PS3 owners.

Weaknesses: The only drawback is the hot keys are not labeled. But all the function keys work. I just labeled mine with a sticker. Other than that it is so worth the money.

Summary: This keyboard makes everything so much easier and more comfortable. I especially like the vertical scrolling. It didn't take any setup at all. I put in the batteries plugged in the USB thing and touched the cursor pad and the response was immediate. In addition to PS3, it also works great in Vista and XP also although it is not mentioned anywhere in the specifications.
