1 out of 5 stars Purchase with caution   November 19, 2007
 6 out of 7 found this review helpful

The USB light never turned green (which should indicate that it's charging). It never stops flashing red (which indicates that it's searching for a receiver). It never syncs with the thumbpad. Be careful when purchasing this item. Some have claimed success, others have not. Unfortunately for me, I'm in the "have not" category.


4 out of 5 stars Works fine for me   August 6, 2007
 5 out of 5 found this review helpful

I've had this mini keyboard for about 6 months now and it works consistently without incident. Granted I only use it with the web browser and to chat in RFOM. I just plugged it in and it worked. It does make the controller front heavy and I do get a bit nervous shaking off bullseye tags without feeling like I'm going to send it flying. Although, to date this hasn't happened. The size is a huge pro. My wife wouldn't stand for a full size keyboard in the living room. The only reason I am giving it four stars is that I wish it was bluetooth.




1 out of 5 stars Disgusted customer   July 24, 2007
 3 out of 13 found this review helpful

Don't buy this piece of garbage. I bought this to use for FFXI on my PS3 because I was getting tired of using the controller to try to chat with people (very tedious). I was excited to get this home and use it so I could finally communicate with other people easier. Hooked it up and fired up the game and nothing. The on-line support info was useless so I called technical support. The individual I spoke with was rude and said that by the packaging stating that it was for the PS3 that it's implied that it's only compatible with PS3 games. Hello, anyone that is anyone knows that Sony has always made their systems to be backwards compatible with older games. Any company that cared about their consumers would design their add on components to work the same. I will never buy an item from this company again, no matter how cool it might be.

1 out of 5 stars Doesn't work with FFXI   July 20, 2007

The Mad Catz thumbpad works fine with the PS3 web browser, but it doesn't work at all with Final Fantasy XI (FFXI) on-line.

Considering I bought it to use it for chat and gameplay in FFXI, this is a huge disappointment.

Other keyboards, such as Logitech's PS2/PS3 USB keyboard, work fine with both the PS3 web browser and FFXI.

As soon as you start up FFXI, however, the Mad Catz thumbpad stops working, its LED starts blinking furiously, and it never syncs up with the receiver which is attached to the PS3. Very frustrating!
