Wireless Keyboard & Mouse for PS3 - Canadian TV, Computing and Home Theatre Forums

insomniak · 2008-01-26, 04:57 AM

I recently purchased a PS3 and noticed it has a pretty nice web browser. I was thinking of getting a wireless keyboard and mouse to make navigating with the browser easier. Should I purchase a Blue Tooth combo or would the less expensive USB wireless combos be better? I have no other device that could use the Blue Tooth keyboard and mouse but I could always use the USB combo on my computer and laptops. Is there any advantage to using a Blue Tooth combo over a USB one?

I think one advantage of the bluetooth combo, is that you free up a USB port on the PS3 because you don't need to use the USB dongle. Especially useful if you've got one of the newer 40GB PS3s that only have 2 USB ports.

I also thought that the bluetooth keyboards were a little better on battery life, but I am not sure.

I've got one of the Logitech DiNovo Edge keyboards and it works great with the PS3

Might as well go bluetooth.

This baby will be the PS3 bluetooth keyboard (especially for the 40 GB) with buit-in touch-pad to get when out (not on the market yet). It is better on your lap than a keyboard/mouse combo:

This one is not bluetooth but similar except you loose 1 USB port (for the 80 GB):
