Default Setup to play PS3 with k/m in your livingroom

Hi,

I just put my PC in my livingroom connect with my hdtv, i'm gonna also connect my mouse and keyboard soon with ps3. my question is what is your setup?! Cause using my keyboard on my lap and the mouse on the sofa not very confortable

Do you have any idea to setup a ''workstation'' in your living room?!?!

if the mouse is optical, use it on your leg. Works very good depending on the material of your pants.

I don't know the end result you are looking for, if you are trying to use a keyboard and mouse with the ps3, you could always get the bluetooth keyboard they sell at BB. That will solve your problems with wired connections and finding a mobile platform for your mouse, because it's all on the keyboard w/o the wires. I think the keyboard is around $60, but if you're content with that set up it will probably be cheaper than setting up a workstation in your living room. Just a suggestion

Dinner trays/tables (those foldy little tables for eating in front of the TV).

If you don't want it for gaming, the Logitech mediaboard works well. It's a bluetooth keyboard with a built-in touchpad for the mouse. The touchpad doesn't work all that well for UT3 though so if you're wanting a gaming solution, I'd look elsewhere.

I never thought of that, right now I use mine on the arm rest of my recliner. Trackball seems like it will work a lot better. Thanks.
