best way to type

[Dorkenstein]

I saw the DiNovo mini bluetooth keyboard for ps3, which looks awesome, but it's pretty darned expensive. What does everyone here with a ps3 use for a keyboard/keypad? While I'm at it, are there any controllers better than the sony non-rumble ones? Thanks for any help.

are you looking to surf the web or just to input info? I used a usb keyboard when I started out. I ended up getting the media board pro for the ps3 later on. It was a demo item from logitech but I can complain its free. I never made much use of it though. better the the sixaxis? dual shock 3. its pretty much the same size.

Better than the Sony non-rumble controllers? Sure, the ones with rumble. You can turn it off, but they are better. 😉

As for typing. Yeah, any bluetooth keyboard will work, any USB keyboard will work for that matter. And Sony recently released a keypad that attaches to the PS3 controller, and from what I can gather is a very nice keypad, especially since a large portion of the pad has a secondary feature: as a touchpad like it were a laptop, but minus the dedicated pad - it uses touch sensing across the buttons and the area in-between (iirc).

I use a cheap PC wireless keyboard (nonblue-tooth, takes up a USB port for the radio receiver). Just about any standard PC keyboard "should" work.

If the DiNovo drops to a reasonable price, I will pick it up, but as it stands it is not worth it. Main reason for me to need a keyboard since only one game supports it is for web browsing. Unfortunately there is no point using the browser, it is horrible. All I see are "Do you want to run the plugin" pop-ups even after I tell it that it can run the plugin.

Yeah, I got a lot of those "plugin" messages last night. Just so I am sure, the Dualshock 3 controller is out in the US, right? I was reluctant to order one from Japan.

Yes

I use an old usb keyboard I found in my closet.
