Playstation 3 Controller Keyboard Priced and Dated

I have one of the Mad Catz thumb pads. I do find it really handy as a little keyboard to use when messaging etc but I don't leave it attached to the DS3 as it looks and feels retarded.

I know what you mean but it would be a bit too big to have knocking about for how often I would use it. The mini one comes in handy every now and again but usually I use the DS3 as I just send short messages.

I don't like it, MS have it right with the addon sitting at the bottom, For the thumbs.

I bought a messenger pad as soon as i saw them, And it's an absolute godsend when it comes to playing FF11 on 360.

I really think that addon is going to be hand cramp city.

Probably the best peripheral going. And I don't agree with what rp2000 said, I often play games with the chatpad attached and it doesn't get in the way or feel odd at all. I know Kainz feels the same way too (when he's at least playing the bloody thing :mad:).
 
£35!!!

I'm pretty sure I paid £25 for my 360 chatpad, which doesn't use another battery and comes with a headset.

It will have to be cheaper than that. Surely?
 
I use a chatpad for the 360, but that thing looks like a pain in the arse to even use comfortably!

You mean Blackberry surely ???.

Maybe this device is targeted towards Home where a lot of text based conversations can and will take place.

I'll reserve judgement when I've had a tinker with one.
 
Have I gone mad... but I can't work this out in my brain :o

How would you hold that pad comfortably and still type at the same time?

Surely having it above the pad is making it out of reach of your thumbs :confused:

If your only supposed to hold it one handed, or type with it on your lap... then why the heck didn't they release a proper keyboard.
 
While i agree that above the pad is a bad idea, i just held my DS3 and moved my thumbs up and down to see if i could type up there, i only had to shift the palms of my hands slightly in order to reach the keyboard. Looking at that picture i forgot how small the DS3 is in comparison to the 360 controller, it WILL work, just not too well.
 
Probably best to just use your index finger.
