      Get one of those ones that stick on your pad.  They look boss.  Thumbpads they're called.  Failing that I'd get a bluetooth one.

      Good point about bluetooth, JD. Had forgotten the PS3 had that option.

      To concede one thing to the 360, their keyboard slots in the bottom of the pad flush and looks pretty cool. But it's used on the 360 so there's not much point! ;)

      I use a USB keyboard from my old PC. Only problem I have is the cable doesn't stretch that far (to my bed mainly) so I have to sit either on me beanbag or PC chair if I want to type on MGO or anything else.

      Looks cool but it should go underneath so you can still get to the shoulder buttons. You could type easier with your thumbs then!

      I wouldn't mind a more compact wired keyboard, just with a longer cable. The one I've got's fine though, might just get a USB cable extension. Spend the rest on a new game! :D

      OK I ordered the keyboard I linked in earlier. Should get it next week - will probably do a write up on it on my blog.

      You don't do things by halves do you?

      Is that even going to work with the PS3?

      I never buy anything that uses my Wi-Fi range after buying a video sender that had interference with my Wi-Fi.  Good luck though.  Let us know.

      Got this keyboard now. It's a nice size and works straight from the box. Even included batteries. If your looking for one for your PS3/PC then I'd recommend it.
