I can't picture how this one will mount to the controller. I didn't click the link (game stuff blocked at work), but I'd like to see how this mounts to the controller before getting too happy about it.]]>Aug 20th 2008 12:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/sony-intros-wireless-keypad-attachment-for-the-ps3/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/sony-intros-wireless-keypad-attachment-for-the-ps3/

I can see that it will 'clip on' the face, as you say, but the large round circular things confuse me. And if it IS on top, which it must be, in order to not block the triggers it would have to stick out, up off the surface... My comment about seeing it mounted on there is more to see how it functions while attached (as well as the rest of the controller that it is latching itself onto), not just to see how it attached.]]>Aug 20th 2008 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/sony-intros-wireless-keypad-attachment-for-the-ps3/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/sony-intros-wireless-keypad-attachment-for-the-ps3/Aug 20th 2008 4:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/sony-intros-wireless-keypad-attachment-for-the-ps3/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/sony-intros-wireless-keypad-attachment-for-the-ps3/

"[The Wireless Keypad] comes with some cool features, including a mode that turns the main key area into a touch pad (similar to a touch pad on a Laptop computer). Once in this mode, you can slide your finger on this area to move the cursor on the screen and tap to enter."

Just figured you all would want to know what makes this more interesting than a simple Xbox 360 Keypad.

(Note: I said "more interesting" NOT "better"! I will make my judgement after the product is released.)]]>Aug 20th 2008 5:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/sony-intros-wireless-keypad-attachment-for-the-ps3/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/sony-intros-wireless-keypad-attachment-for-the-ps3/Looks Like Crap!]]>Aug 20th 2008 12:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/sony-intros-wireless-keypad-attachment-for-the-ps3/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/sony-intros-wireless-keypad-attachment-for-the-ps3/Aug 20th 2008 12:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/sony-intros-wireless-keypad-attachment-for-the-ps3/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/sony-intros-wireless-keypad-attachment-for-the-ps3/Aug 20th 2008 12:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/sony-intros-wireless-keypad-attachment-for-the-ps3/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/sony-intros-wireless-keypad-attachment-for-the-ps3/

As I said it's like placing a keyboard above the screen on a Blackberry. You can still type with your thumbs it's just a dumb idea.

And that doesn't take into account that if you have to move your hands to grip the keyboard to type on with your thumbs, your fingers will be all bunched up against the L1 and R1 buttons underneath.]]>Aug 20th 2008 10:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/sony-intros-wireless-keypad-attachment-for-the-ps3/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/sony-intros-wireless-keypad-attachment-for-the-ps3/_> ]]>Aug 20th 2008 12:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/sony-intros-wireless-keypad-attachment-for-the-ps3/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/sony-intros-wireless-keypad-attachment-for-the-ps3/Aug 20th 2008 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/sony-intros-wireless-keypad-attachment-for-the-ps3/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/sony-intros-wireless-keypad-attachment-for-the-ps3/]]>Aug 20th 2008 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/sony-intros-wireless-keypad-attachment-for-the-ps3/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/sony-intros-wireless-keypad-attachment-for-the-ps3/Aug 20th 2008 1:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/sony-intros-wireless-keypad-attachment-for-the-ps3/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/sony-intros-wireless-keypad-attachment-for-the-ps3/Aug 20th 2008 12:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/sony-intros-wireless-keypad-attachment-for-the-ps3/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/sony-intros-wireless-keypad-attachment-for-the-ps3/Aug 20th 2008 12:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/sony-intros-wireless-keypad-attachment-for-the-ps3/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/sony-intros-wireless-keypad-attachment-for-the-ps3/Aug 20th 2008 6:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/sony-intros-wireless-keypad-attachment-for-the-ps3/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/sony-intros-wireless-keypad-attachment-for-the-ps3/

I'll admit, the 360 controllers feel better, but I find them frustrating to use because MY 360 IS ALWAYS FRIGGIN' BROKEN!!! That, and I need to use expensive power amps and home theater systems to hear my games over the noise of the bloody 360. I love the 360, but I just sold mine out of sheer frustration.

It might've come out a year ahead of the PS3, but I would've waited if I thought they'd make it better. Of course, Microsoft likes rushing crappy things out and then making patches for years to come (ME, Vista, Mrs. Gates)...
