Customer Rating:      Summary: Great wireless keyboard Comment: I cannot find fault with this keyboard. It is used to surf the net on a 42" HD TV, so "zooming in" is not an issue. Wireless is the only way to go, and I felt the quality for the price was terrific. The keyboard is comfortable and easy to use, and unlike other wireless keyboards I have tried, it does not feel fragile. Setup was easy. I would buy this keyboard again.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great keyboard, bad mouse. Comment: This keyboard functions very well. I have some complaints about the key mappings, but that is a function of the PS3, not the keyboard. The trackpad is too small to be useful.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Underwhelming (and defective) Comment: I was looking for a keyboard compatible with my PS3 and surprisingly found this one is the only one specifically designed for the PS3. I decided to give it a shot, since Logitech makes pretty decent products...most of the time.
Upon unboxing it, the first thing that struck me was how lightweight and cheap it felt. I wasn't expecting a high-end keyboard or anything, but this thing doesn't feel like a solid piece of equipment. It's also larger than I was expecting, but that's more my fault for not reading the specs more thoroughly.
The keyboard was easy enough to pair with the PS3, so I started playing around with it. The keys didn't feel like any other keyboard I'd ever used, but it seems like something I could have gotten used to over time. However, I wouldn't have gotten used to the lack of R and L buttons. The point of the keyboard was to forego browsing and messaging with the controller for good, so leaving out buttons is completely inexcusible. I'm also not a fan of the spacebar, which is somewhat difficult to hit at times. The spacebar doesn't rise as much as the keyboards I'm used to, so I had difficulty using it, and I don't know if I would have ever gotten used to it.
As for the trackpad, here's where things got problematic. After a few days of use, the trackpad started becoming less responsive, and 2 weeks after getting it, it stopped working altogether. I'm sure my unit was just defective, but since I wasn't satisfied with the purchase, I opted for a refund rather than exchange it for another one. With the refund, I picked up a Logitech diNovo Mini, which, while more expensive, is definitely a much better keyboard.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Not a bad keyboard, but could have been better! Comment: After purchasing this Logitech Cordless Mediaboard Pro for the Sony Playstation 3, I am beginning to experience a bit of buyer's remorse. Don't get me wrong. The Bluetooth keyboard does what it's supposed to do. It communicates well with the PS3 system, and its fit-and-finish resembles that of the PS3. However, as other reviewers have mentioned, it does make some strange and inexcusable omissions of keys (i.e. PS power button, etc.). I guess only Sony can build a perfect keyboard for its own entertainment system! Why am I regretting my purchase? Because the Playstation 3 web browser leaves much to be desired, I find myself hardly ever using the Mediaboard.
Customer Rating:      Summary: WORKS PERFECT WITH THE PS3 Comment: This sylish keyboard has every fuction that I ever needed. It works straight out of the box without any set-up or pairing. All you have to do is take it out of the box, put in the batteries, insert the adapter into the USB slot on your PS3 and type away. It is very lightweight but seems fairly well made. This keyboard will work on your pc as well.

Communicate wirelessly on your PlayStation 3 with this cordless keyboard. Entering text and typing messages with a standard controller becomes tedious and a thing of the past when you add this keyboard to your PlayStation 3 gaming system. This cleverly designed keyboard also offers vertical scrolling functionality with a built-in touchpad, so there's no need for a separate mouse. Set up profiles, manage accounts and send text messages with one convenient keyboard. With its lightweight, thin design and generous range, MediaBoard Pro lets you roam up to 30' away from your PlayStation 3 console. You won't miss the cluttered mess of cords you used to have before you made MediaBoard Pro part of your life. Quick media keys are convenient Operates on 2 AA Batteries (included)
