January 5th, 2007 at 10:23 pm
hott keyboard, indeed. see, 3rd party developers recognize the value of making quality accessories for the PS3. stay tuned for many more to come. heh, heh..
January 5th, 2007 at 11:19 pm
logitech are great. they should do 360 one, but i’m sure people will complain about it being unfair to controllers.
January 6th, 2007 at 2:09 am
Hate to burst your bubbles, but it’s just a keyboard.
January 6th, 2007 at 2:24 am
Eat that, Phantom Lapboard

This is only for web surfing people … don’t get overly excited thinking you’ll be able to play FPS games like you do on the PC … there is no mouse.

“Logitech — January 4, 2007 — Logitech today announced the Logitech® Cordless MediaBoard™ keyboard for PLAYSTATION®3. The Cordless MediaBoard makes it easy for gamers to communicate online using the PLAYSTATION® Network. Using the keyboard, gamers can quickly set up profiles, manage accounts and send text messages to others gamers online – no more struggling to enter text with a gamepad. Also located on the keyboard are a built-in touch-pad and vertical scrollbar so there is no need for a separate mouse. The lightweight design and slim profile makes the Logitech Cordless MediaBoard easy to handle, use and store in the living room. Available in the U.S. and Europe beginning in February, Logitech Cordless MediaBoard will be priced at $79.99 (U.S.).”
Again let me state that THIS keyboard is not for playing FPS games … and there are no games in existence that take advantage of ANY k&b setup atm.
January 8th, 2007 at 11:23 pm
” again let me state that THIS keyboard is not for playing FPS games ”
why? because there’s no need for a mouse. the article does not specifically state that this key board cannot be used for FP shoooters.
January 9th, 2007 at 1:37 am
It is pretty obvious why … omg … come on first you dudes say you need a mouse and Kb now you are saying there is no need for a mouse due to some built in touch pad crap … and yes the article is pretty clear at stating exactly what this is for. If you want to believe otherwise be my guest. I could care less.
January 9th, 2007 at 2:14 am
” built in touch pad crap ”
so yeah, now it’s crap because Anuban says so. the article may state what it’s for. but it doesn’t state what it’s not for either. it says that there’s no need for a separate mouse which, if you ask me, sounds pretty freakin cool for a key board accessorie that isn’t made for a PC.
” If you want to believe otherwise be my guest. I could care less. ”
try aging a little. you might come off as sounding a lil’ more mature than you’re trying to lead on.
January 9th, 2007 at 2:17 am
It’s crap in my opinion and again let me reitirate if you want to believe other be my guest. I could care less. If you want to start an argument about that statement fight with yourself in front of a mirror and do some growing up of your own. I am allowed my opinion and that is what it is … take it or leave it … love it or hate it. I am not here to please you KJ. So you try aging .. A LOT.
January 9th, 2007 at 2:32 am
Let me say this and I hope everyone reads this:
I DO NOT have a problem when someone disagrees with me … noone is supposed to be in agreement all the time anyway … any fool knows that … opinions are always fine to have no matter what they may be. So if you want to disagree with something I said please go ahead. I disagree with a lot of things that are said around here. But what I don’t do is make my disagreement personal by calling someone out of their name or making any kind of character attack whatsoever so I would expect the same kind of treatment from everyone else. But if you want to call me names of any type or attack my character in anyway then expect me to come back in FULL and then some. If you want to fight with me then fine we can go at it until the sun goes down and comes back up … but I would rather not. Just say you disagree plain and simple and give a reason and then I’ll do likewise. If you can’t do that then leave me out of your post and don’t direct any statements my way … otherwise we are going to have some serious problems and really what is the point to all that type of madness when this is over the internet and none of these arguments can be settled face to face.
January 9th, 2007 at 2:55 am
Anuban, thank you for that exhaustive memo on public relations! I’m sure that you make a lot of friends.
anyhow, i think that the keyboard is hott. and i’m looking forward to buying it no matter how much Anuban downplays it or wets his bed for that matter!
January 9th, 2007 at 3:00 am
Go to hell KJ and take that lame azz fanboy above you with you. I said if you want to keep up the personal attacks we can go at it and you obviously want to keep fighting with me so kiss my azz and keep talking BS if you want. I am no mood to back down tonight. I will again say show me someone using this KB with no mouse to play ANY FPS game currently out on the PS3 and then you will have proven me wrong … other than that go Fork yourself.
January 9th, 2007 at 3:12 am
You are such a lousy forking person it is pathetically funny … Don’t worry about ever being me … you aren’t a tenth of the waste I expel lunatic.
January 9th, 2007 at 3:14 am
hey Anuban.. is that foam i see coming out of your mouth?
January 9th, 2007 at 3:20 am
Oh you want a piece of me too … why the hell are you butting your pointy nose into my arguments with other azzholes on this site unless you want me to sink my teeth into you as well. Don’t you get it … start up with me and I will gladly return the favor. I don’t know what your problem is but I will be more than happy to address you as well if that is really what you want.
January 9th, 2007 at 3:22 am
Oh shoot! Anuban’s turning green!
January 9th, 2007 at 3:23 am
If you folks can’t except the fact that I have my own mind and my own opinions just as I except that you have your own opinions then that is NOT my problem but if you think I am going to let you talk to me anyway you want to without a harsh rebuttal then you are sadly mistaken. What is it that drives you losers to constantly want to start BS with me anyway … over stuff that really doesn’t even matter? I just don’t get it but again if you want me then you got me. Just say the word …
January 9th, 2007 at 3:24 am
can you say, “ANGER MANAGEMENT”???
January 9th, 2007 at 3:26 am
Bring it on!!!! I’m in that kind of mood today where I refuse to take any more BS from anyone that doesn’t have a damn good reason and from where I sit no one on this site has any reason to be asenine towards me unless they are just looking to piss me off … so again I say whatever I will no longer tolerate crap from a bunch of whiny haters. PERIOD. You know you could always just ignore me and my comments if they bother you that much but of course I know none of you cretins have the willpower to do that.
January 9th, 2007 at 3:39 am
LMAO.. anuban lost it once again!! LMAO.
January 9th, 2007 at 3:39 am
Bah … I have grown bored talking trash to children of parasites on this thread anyway. I’m off to another so if you want to follow me and start some more BS then fine … I am done on this one. But seriously I actually hope you all just leave me alone or at the very least don’t start personal BS with me … if you can’t do that then it will be ON again in the very near future I am afraid. But don’t look for me to start anything first. As always I only respond to the garbage I don’t toss it out first.
January 9th, 2007 at 3:51 am
” I’m in that kind of mood today..”
well, you know that mood which you so proudly displayed today? it’s called a cycle. usually it occurs within women at some point each month for a given period of time. so stop being so bloody defensive man!
January 9th, 2007 at 6:21 am
***Anuban!*** Give it up your attitude reeks of hatred of winners! Although I won’t buy this keyboard, it’s for use in Linux as well. It could also be used in FPS games.
For gaming like in UT2007 when it comes out, I bought a Wireless Blue Tooth keyboard and mouse setup! But Newegg has all the gear and games including pre-orders for PS3. Z-Board is working on a PS3 specific keyboard and mouse setup in a lap tray. It’ll be one of many custom game setups like for UT2007 to use not only in game, but with the ingame Live Editor for modding. That moddability and keyboard n mouse support is all over the net n news. Even in the game description on Newegg. Can’t mod without one!
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?Page=2&N=0&Submit=ENE&Nty=1&Description=ps3&Ntk=all
It won’t be the last FPS with mouse n keyboard either! Time Shift, Crysis, and at least 3 other FPS games are slated to use it as well!
So quit with all the lies, hate and misinformation. You’re only hurting yourself when all the truth comes out as time goes by. I have a PS3 and it’s everything Sony said it would be and more. It has so many good things about it, that it’s hard to them all. So many “AAA” games on the way, that by next Christmas you won’t have a leg to stand on, to support all your hatred. And I won’t say it’ll be the best by then or any time, just different.
Plenty of good stuff to say about all the consoles and plenty of room for them in the market as well. No need to bad mouth any of them, only the Hater fans who resent their console not being number one, will be doing that. They’ll all have their share of the market and yes it will be better divided up this time. But to claim or try to prove that one is better than the other is futile. None of them are exactly equal and more like comparing Apples and Oranges.
You’re intelligent, you write up a good post much of the time. Just don’t let all the rotten egg throwing keep you from being a positive force for your console of choice. The hating and negativity doesn’t help your cause. Put yourself above the average fan in here because you have the power of words to do it!
I’m done now and that’s exactly what I’m going to do. I played all three and they are all different with their good points. I will no doubt eventually buy a Wii and re-purchase a X360 after the 65nm chip comes out (with no more heat problems). Hopefully before Bio Shock and Mass Effect come out. Love those games!
Anyway have a great New Year!

Where’s the numberpad and I think it should come with a mouse as well.
January 19th, 2007 at 9:52 am
Re: tess
No numpad, but we don’t need it. I use laptop style Quicktouch thin keyboards on two computers and my Sony PS3. You can use any USB keyboard and mouse in or out of games on PS3!
This keyboard is not meant for gaming. More for Linux and Game OS browser, store and friends chatting. But there’s many great setups coming for the PS3. A wireless Gaming Lapboard that tilts up at 45* and has a surface underneath for the included wireless mouse. Alienware is offering them right now.
http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/home-entertainment/infinium-finds-lapboard-manufacturer-still-not-dead-168426.php
Even game fans of Xbox have an attachment available that makes keyboard and mouse use an option. It can be very expensive and no telling if Microsoft will ban them with an update. You can buy them on ebay for between $80 and $100 right now. There was a video of them on YouTube. Here’s the page from Gizmodo:
http://www.gizmodo.com/gadgets/gadgets/xcm-brings-pcstyle-gaming-to-your-360-217332.php
Has some tricks to it too! Autofire and some sorta other cheat type moves. If anyone is on Live getting killed badly on games, it’s probably someone with one of these setups!
January 19th, 2007 at 1:14 pm
Also I was wondering if any Xbox 360 fans have bought this keyboard and mouse setup? Anyboy? I know they’re selling cuz I have a friend that bought the setup. But he spent a large chunk of change to get it setup. Does so much more than enabling keyboard and mouse setup for FPS gaming.
