If you’re used to texting, you’d probably like this tiny little pad, but as for me, it was much too small. In fact it was even smaller than I anticipated. I don’t text, but I’m an excellent typist, and found out very quickly that I much prefer my good old-fashioned USB keyboard.

I would love to give good rating for something that I own too, but unfortunately Sony has gone wayyy overpriced for this poorly created keypad. Not only that the buttons are small, the way they added two extra “identical” buttons on the bottom has given me a real PAIN in the @ss !! I keep accidently hitting that square smiley face button and it always bring me to the private-message window during tournament game play. For me, I figure that this thing is not a “NEED” item. I should have spent $49 on the wireless headset instead.
But if you still like this keypad, make sure you use a knife or any sharp tool to ply the stupid “smiley” face button out to avoid interruptions during gameplay.

I was really excited about this product. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a waste of money for me. Yes it does what it does well, but does not make typing easier for me. My issue is that the thumb pad is not back-lit. I have to play with the in a well lit room if I want to see those tiny keys. I don’t know about you guys, but I spend a lot of time keeping light out of my entertainment room. It’s easier to type with the on screen keyboard. I spend less time fumbling and squinting. I gave it an extra star because it works well when you can see it.

I have had this keypad for just over two months now. I had used it for about 3 or 4 times in the first month or so. Now, I can not pair it with the PS3 anymore. My keypad is fully charged. I followed the pairing instructions to the letter: turn on PS3, turn on keypad, then connect to PS3 using USB cable. All three LEDs kept flashing relatively-slowly like they were charging. Hitting a random key made the three LEDs flash furiously for a while like they were trying to pair, then the unit switched to charging mode. Nothing more.
I thought all electronics sold in the US should have a 90-day warranty. I called Sony, and was told to contact Amazon. Amazon was nice enough to offer a return shipping label for a partial credit even though they were not obligated to do so. I don’t know how much credit I will get, but anything is better than nothing.
Once bitten, twice shy. I’ll never buy a keypad from Sony again. I’ll look for a full-size BT keyboard now.

It does not work like a real keyboard for the playstation and a little over priced.
