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.
