PS3 Chat Pad

[TQcast]

Sony has just announced a keypad peripheral that sits on top of a
DualShock 3 and SIXAXIS to allow QWERTY typing (it also appears to have
its own Bluetooth connection and power source). A lot like the keypad
Microsoft released a while back for the 360, it also has a touchpad for
mouse support as well (that could even be used in some games). The pad
will come in 8 different configurations/languages for PAL regions this
November.

This is great that the PS3 has 3 options for messaging and internet use the other being the 2 PS3 wireless keyboard/mouse combo-

Handheld Keyboard/Mouse combo-



Full size keyboard and mouse combo

I like this chat pad because it's sleeker than the Xbox chat-pad but I really have trouble seeing the letters and numbers on it and it's hard for my to type on it as well. Anyone else having this problem?

Yes, that was a huge flaw, no back light.

I never knew there was a Sony keyboard you could use. I guess the chat-pad is more practical for when your playing a game and don't want to have a big keyboard on your lap.
