Christmas is the spirit of giving. So save some cash so you can give yourself the accessories that will come out from Sony for the holidays! Here are new details on the PS3 Wireless Keypad, and the AC Adapter.

First up, the Wireless Keypad, which will be released on the first week of December with the price tag of US$ 49.99. Here's a quick sum up of what this baby can do. It's basically a keypad and touchpad in one. If you're hyped up for Home's launch this year, you should consider picking up one of these, it'll really speed up chatting time.

The Wireless Keypad was made specially for the PlayStation 3 controller but it will also work with any Bluetooth enabled device with keyboard functionality, like smartphones.

Next is the AC Adapter, which can be used to charge the Dualshock 3, SIXAXIS, Bluetooth Headset, the Wireless keypad, and even the PSP Slim and the PSP Brite. It will be released on the second week of December for US$ 24.99. It doubles its usefulness by being able to charge two devices at the same time.

I understand why the price is high doesnt stop me from getting it... but you have to realise this doesnt run through the controller like x360 or use its battery... this is bluetooth and has its own battery source, and can be used for more then the ps3... and a touch pad... so 49.99 is kinda reasonable...

(that was really for the blog there were just too many comments)

That is IF it's comfortable to hold on it's own.



If it is, I might just dremel off the part sticking out and make it it's own standalone keyboard.

» Bluetooth

Bluetooth changes the freqncy like every second unlike phones or walkie talkies... im not exactly sure but i know its somethink like that thats why its compatible with all these assories unlike x360( i know x360 has most of the assories ps3 does but they run differntly

» easy understand

Its called frequency hopping,.. it chops up the data and sends it in chunks.. it has 79 frequencys that it will randomly hop to, making it not inturrupt other devices..

Sorry but that keyboard must be a nightmare to use. The 360 one works very well, I can't imagine having to stretch my fingers up being too comfortable.



Hate when companies get it so wrong like this. Take Apple and their previous inner earphones, urgh! They don't even work!

BT is also secure.

» and this has ?!?!!? to do with the PSP?

Why was this posted in PSP news? I got excited for a second and thought they were actually releasing a Sony keyboard for the PSP. Damnit
