Blazepro PS3 keypad is cheaper, hideous


The tech ninjas at Blazepro may know a thing or two about cutting prices. When it comes to corners, though, not so much. The peripheral manufacturer has released its own Wireless Keypad for the PlayStation 3, sacrificing sexy contours for a much lower price -- $11 compared to $50 for Sony's curvier official model.

Still, as the saying goes, you may get what you pay for. The boxy clip-on communicates with the PS3 using a 2.4GHz USB dongle rather than the console's native Bluetooth capability, and doesn't look to come with any sort of rechargeable functionality whatsoever. We can't help but wonder if the savings are worth it, even with the promise of a "leap-frequency communication solution" and "strongly anti-jamming" qualities. If you do decide to take a chance, though, let us know what you think. Just be careful of those edges.
