Video Game Reviews of Playstation 3 Logitech Cordless Mediaboard Pro
Customer Review: Workes GREAT with Vista
Summary: 4 Stars
As I'm about to have surgery on my knee, I was looking for ways to use my computer from places other than a desk.
This keyboard works just great with a normal Windows machine, assuming you have bluetooth support on that machine.
The pros:
1) price is a third of the fancier Logitech BT keyboards
2) it's really light and thin, and sits on my lap very well
3) touchpad seems very responsive and the scroll area on the right is a good substitue for a center mouse wheel, my wrist feels more relaxed than with a mouse
4) the extra 2 left/right mouse keys on the left bottom allows smooth and easy two handed text selection
The cons:
1) there is no Windows key, although you could download the Microsoft custom keyboard mapper and assign the menu key in the top left as the Windows key if you really want
2) the claimed batter life is 200 hours, although there is an on/off switch, so that might mean a month of full day use
3) the shinny black surface picks up fingerprints easily
4) the BD-DVD menu key along the top is probably useless
5) Slight adjustment getting used to the 2 wide by 3 high home/end/insert/delete/pgup/pgdown layout, my other keyboard is 3x2
6) no caps lock light
7) no extended lower flat space to support for my wrists, although with the keyboard in my lap I can almost type with my wrists on my legs
8) no center mouse button, although this is very rairly used
Logitech should market this more for normal dekstop machines and home theatre system, and perhaps have a Windows centric layout version.
Overall, a great bluetooth keyboard/trackpad for the price!
Customer Review: Functional, useful but relatively expensive - it could become obsolete soon
Summary: 3 Stars
I need a keyboard for my PS3, mostly to enter passwords or whatever other short text strings may be called for while surfing the Web. If you are like me and this is all you needed a keyboard for, then the Playstation 3 Wireless keypad (to be released in November) could be a VERY attractive alternative because it is so much smaller and it can be attached directly to a Sixaxis.
The keyboard is battery-powered and the batteries seem to last forever. I don't believe I've changed them since I first started using the keyboard, a few months ago but I am not a heavy user. It's good to know that it comes with a little touch pad and 'mouse' buttons so if you are comfortable with it, you won't need a mouse.
Overall judgment: it's much better than it looks. For moderate use with a PS3, I have no major complaints, it's the right implement. However, I would NOT use it with a computer, especially if I was into writing big novels - there is a 'cheap' feeling to it that does not seem to justify the relatively high price.
Customer Review: A MUST HAVE
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this not really knowing what to expect, but now im glad i did. i do not own a computer so i bought the ps3 for its internet capability also. First off if you dont own a ps3 and you are thinking about ordering this with it get it. or else you have to type in character by character on every website. if you own a ps3 then you already understand
my fear with this product being wirless is that it couldnt keep up with my typing speed like some wireless devices (avg 80-100 wpm) but it keeps up well and the battery life is great (still reccomend rechargables). it functions just like a computer keyboard(im using it now through the ps3) and its light weight and matches the ps3. the mouse on it is ok (i still find myself using the remote to scroll with) but the mouse takes awhile to get used to. over all its a great keyboard and its well worth the price, they could sell it easy for $100 so for how much it is its worth it if you'll find yourself getting online, or just leaving your ps3 friends messages.
Customer Review: it might be kinda fragile. but...........

I don't know why that first guy gave this a bad review? I love this bluetooth, light weight,
keyboard. I like using the built in mouse pad and you can scroll up/down a page by sliding
your finger lightly on the right side of the mouse pad or just us the arrow keys. It takes the place of my old RF wireless mouse/keyboard. The range is fantastic. More than a 100'!
I like the bright finish, like my PSP3-80. There isn't a Start button and sometimes if you play
a game, you can't use it. The games is looking for the controller that came with your PSP3.
I use this to type on my Mac and it works just fine, even better than my old one. I do wish the mouse pad was a little bigger, but it's ok the way it is. Other than that, nice going Logictech.
Can't wait for the next keyboard, with illuminated keys?
