If Only Sony Made Such a Clever PS3 Remote

There’s nothing wrong with Sony’s Blu-ray remote for the PS3, but there’s nothing especially right about it either. And as unwieldy as it may be, this generic 3-in-1 solution looks much better.


The 3-in-1 Wireless Keyboard is first and foremost a Blu-ray remote, but it also appears to be a slider of sorts, packing full QWERTY and—if our eyes are telling us correctly—dual analogue sticks.

Especially for BD-Live content, the keyboard could make all of the text entry a lot more convenient than even Sony’s own QWERTY option. And dual analogs? Really? The PSP doesn’t even have that!

We really wish there were more to the product’s description, but if you’re willing to make a gamble with $US28.52 of your hard earned cash, let us know how it goes. [Superufo via Kotaku]

    Sleek design though somewhat bulky.
    Your natural reaction is to press the keys with the tips of your finger (Fingernails) which forces the key to stick beneath the case. I would recommend just mashing your finger into the desired key (You will inadvertently hit four other keys even if your fingers are spider-thin but as long as you at least get your aim right it will work)
    I never got very fluent with the keyboard, but it’s style and multiple purposes might just overpower then negatives.
    Would play well with RTS games if the PS3 had any.
    Unfortunately even a basic tennis game is difficult to control.

    A very showy gadget but you might find yourself still using the controller predictive text.
