[UK] PS3 wireless keypad gets date, price


Recommended Posts

That is one of the nastiest / ugliest peripherals i've ever seen. You can tell it was without a doubt an afterthought after the xbox got one with the way it has to clip over the whole controller just to stay on. not to mention it looks awkward as hell to move between typing/playing quickly.

Doesn't look that difficult

Plus of course it's an afterthought, they all are. No controller is made with a chat pad.

And FTR you can detach the keypad and use it on it's own, it's a bluetooth powered device, so if you can't get comfortable with it on the controller just have it nearby to use separately.

I would probably only get one for this use, rather than have a full sized keyboard lying about I can just have one of those little devices.

I've not got any wireless keyboard so it is useful to me that way.

Plus it's not as bulky as leaving a full size keyboard lying on my couch/around my room.

From the video above, as you can see all you do is slide your hands up a little.

If you're playing a lighting fast FPS game, on any console, you aren't going to use a keypad, you use voice chat. For things like Home/sending messages/LBP, you have more than enough time to slide your hands up to type, then back down to play.

Or people with large hands should be okay from normal position :p

Yeah not right away but you'd think when they were designing the controller they'd whiteboard what peripherals they'd want in the future so when they finally decide they want something someone else has brought out it didn't look as tacky as an air scoop on a ford escort...

I don't see that vid making it look 'easy'... anything sticking out the top of the controller is always going to be awkward to use. Guess it depends on your hands though.

If it's that much of an issue for people, they can just use a wireless keyboard.

Options for different folks.

Putting below a controller still requires you to twist your thumbs downwards. This method keeps your thumbs in their natural position, but requires people with smaller hands to shift their hands up a notch.

A keyboard attached to a controller is never going to be as efficient as a full size keyboard, portability/space efficiency is key.

It has the ability to be detached and used separately, no competition has that feature I don't believe. Or is the MS keypad a powered device as well?

Yeah but how long ago did they design the Playstation controller, its been the same since PS1 as I remember. So I doubt they thought about a chat pad back then, when they had no online.

ppl , do bring on your experience if you buy this :) and Abandoned trolly, is that logintech kb PS3 compatible? fully?

Yes is Bluetooth and fully PS3 compitiable, also backlit as well.

It's about ?80 most places.

Details here

edit: Just noticed its just over ?70 on ebuye:D:D

anyway. nice idea. i wish it was designed FOR PS3 with PS3 button and media player buttons etc. wud had justified price i guess.

Um what?!

It IS designed for the PS3 :laugh:

It has shortcuts to your inbox, write a new message, etc.

Of course it's not got media buttons, that's what the Blu Ray remote is for!

    • This one baffles me...so they are creating a museum based around the Ship of Theseus? A museum is supposed to preserve things. It doesn't really work if the conversation goes, "I gazed upon Starry Night the other day, the colours were beautiful!" "Yeah...I didn't expect Godzilla to show up, though." Create a building devoted to displaying AI work, fine. The rainforest idea sounds interesting and I would consider visiting if they pay me a few bucks. But don't call it a museum...
    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
    • Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.
