PlayStation 3 wireless keyboard trial report

The Atari 2600 controller in 1977 had only A joystick and one button, and the red and white controller in 1983 had only D-keys and four buttons, A, B, SELECT and START. Today, both the PS3 and Xbox360 have more than a dozen buttons. But this is not enough, with the popularization of the Internet, game consoles also need tools to input text messages, so the keyboard has to be on the handle. Following the ChatPad for the Xbox360, the PS3 also has the Wireless Keypad for the QWERTY. As advertised, the keyboard does make typing easier and more convenient. The Wireless Keypad also features a touchpad, but the new buttons create new problems.
