Yesterday I picked up Sony’s keyboard peripheral for PS3 controllers.

As a keyboard, this thing is great. It’s thinner than I expected, and just clips onto the controller easily. It doesn’t actually “connect” to the controller in any way, so you could actually use it separately if you really wanted to. It’s a Bluetooth keyboard that you pair to your PS3 by connecting the two with a USB cable momentarily. This is also how you charge the keyboard’s on-board battery. The keyboard is surprisingly thin, and doesn’t get in the way at all when gaming, which is nice.

As a cursor for navigating the XMB or whatever, this thing sucks. It has a mode you can put it in which makes all the keys behave somewhat like one big trackpad. This feature didn’t work very well for me at all, but I didn’t care that much since I have no need for such a feature anyway. UPDATE: I had indeed neglected to calibrate the keyboard. Once I did that, it worked much better. But I still don’t need it. :)

I think this keyboard is great. It does everything that I want, and does it well.

Some friends and I tried these triggers out last night. These things are great! They feel very integrated into the controller, as if the controller was built that way. They look great too.

I can't think of anything negative to say about these, except that it's hard to find them in Canada. I had to have a friend from the States mail me some.

I found that this headset worked as advertised. It did everything pretty well, though you have to pair it directly with the USB cable (not using the base) in order to get all the functionality out of it. The documentation didn't say that you'd be missing out on screen status updates about the headset if you paired it via Bluetooth.

The sound quality is excellent. I heard some other people with this headset talking, and it sounded great. I wish everyone used a headset of this sound quality.

As to comfort, that's where this headset really falls down. I cannot get it into my ear comfortably, no matter how I try.

Plus it's a bit expensive.

I liked this phone, I've had it for about 2 1/2 - 3 years and it's still going strong. I don't have a data plan on it. But I did at one point and the browser is only useful for sites designed for cell phones really.

Call quality is good, setting up bluetooth devices was easy. Overall a great phone.

Fast shipping, great products you won't get anywhere else.

They have a lot branches all over the valley, and they are part of the CO-OP network. Best yet, they are still strong in these uncertain financial times.

I like there online banking, easy to navigate and use. Has all the basic stuff, bill pay, eAlerts, etc.

Overall a great store, the sales guys don't pressure you, which is nice. Huge selection there and a good atmosphere.

Good printer for the money. I had a little trouble figuring out some of the features for scanning, but once I got it down it has been a breeze. Color tone and richness are great. Does a pretty decent job printing on CD's/DVD's as well. I have mostly used it for printing out recipes with photographs; I have yet to see what the print quality is for prints from the camera. Overall very good quality.

It's a must have for PS3 owners who chat often. The cradle is a very handy too.

One thing that did bug me about the headset cradle is the glowing red circle when charging. I wouldn't be so bad but I keep it just inches below my screen so I just turn it sideways so I don't have to look at it.

This phone has a nice responsive touchscreen, that's clear with vivid colors. it's similar to the iphone in many ways, except that it can take video and watch tv on it. The internet browser is simple to use and fast, but has a tendency to freeze if you view sites with lots of pictures. The draws backs that i've ran into recently with it's last firmware update is that most of it's programs will not run, this is an error that hopefully will be fixed soon. I'd recommend this phone to people if they don't wanna spend the money for the iphone but want something just as cool.
