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

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
 8 out of 14 found this review helpful

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!



4 out of 5 stars Very Useful   June 3, 2007
 7 out of 8 found this review helpful

I recently bought this item and am very satisfied with it for many reasons. For one it was much much easier and faster to type than it was with the on-screen keyboard. While this is attached to the controller (using either the clip for the Sixaxis or the Madcatz controller which are both includind in the package) all the buttons are accesible It is comfortable to use and hold (although it makes the controller a little heavier) when just typing. If you were trying to type while playing a game this would be very awkward. The best place to have put the keyboard would have been under the analog sticks which is why I gave it a 4 instead of a 5. One great feature about this is if you don't use the clip you can use it as a normal wireless keyboard that works with anything that is compatible with a keyboard and has a USB port like a computer or an Xbox 360.

Overall this is a great product and I would recomend it to anyone.
