 Great for the money. July 28, 2010

The keypad fits like a glove on the PS3 controller. It uses a dongle to connect to the PS3 which it doesn't describe in the description, but not a problem, it just takes up a usb port. I did not have any problem with it. It connects easy, just plug in the dongle and you are good to go.The buttons are a little small, but I have not compared it the Playstation version.
 Good wireless keypad/keyboard for the PS3.Functional.Reasonable price!Expect to figure out how this product works on your own. June 12, 2010

I have noticed that there were no customer reviews for this product at the time I purchased it so I decided to take a gamble and purchase this product instead of spending more money to buy Sony's Playstation 3's Wireless Keypad PlayStation 3 Wireless keypad I thought Sony's was too expensive, overrated, and had some negative reviews anyway!
The Wireless Keypad/Keyboard by Blazepro also had no customer reviews, was just as expensive as Sony's and seemed just too bulky! Wireless Keypad Keyboard for Sony Playstation 3 PS3
Then there was the PS3/Wii Portable Keyboard by CTA PS3/Wii Portable Keyboard which also seemed bulky, needed batteries to operate and comes with a Plastic adapter mount for the PS3 Sixaxis controller which would probally break shortly after some extended usage.
I would reccomend this particular PS3 Wireless Keyboard by Hyperkin above the as forementioned products. The keypad is QWERTY like SONY's keypad. The keys are blacklight and clearly legible. Keys are small, but supposely not as small as Sony's keypad. The price is reasonable! (About half the price of Sony's keypad) It fits well on the PS3 Sixaxis controller without being too bulky or cumbersome. It still maintains full gameplay functionality. I found that I don't really need to take it off and put it back on because it is light weight and doesn't interfere with the Sixaxis controller so I usually just leave in on when gaming or for internet purposes on the PS3. Rechargeable battery only takes 5-10 minutes to charge when needed.
Overall this is surprisingly a good product in my book. Hyperkin is a reputable company. I have brought a Hyperkin product previously like Hyperkin Nintendo Wii Glide Wireless Controller for my Nintendo Game cube and am satisfied with the purchase. Nintendo Wii Glide Wireless Controller You will also be satisfied with buying this PS3 Wireless Keyboard by Hyperkin through Amazon. The price is reasonable and I feel beats out the competition among other wireless keypads for the PS3.
*Cons: Comes with No instruction manual. Takes a little while to get used to it if using a wireless keypad for the first time for the PS3. The eternet cable it comes with it to charge it is much too small! So I use the eternet cable which origanally comes with Sony's PS3 Sixaxis controller instead which works out fine!
*Please note that my friend had alot of difficulty with this product and rather go with SONY's keyboard instead. He thinks that this product which he purchased may be defective while buying this product new! Again it does not help to have no product support with this product. I contacted Hyperkin myself and they told me that they no longer even have a downloadable instruction manual for this product.
Let me know if you too are having problems with this product, if so I will edit this review again to let people know that there have been problems with it and to look into buying SONY's keyboard instead because that would be the next prouct that I reccomend instead of this without having purchased it and experienced it hands on for myself.
