Compatible Bluetooth Keyboards? - Blu-ray Forum

Jaren613 · 03-26-2007, 06:11 PM

Hey all! I actually have a few questions, sorry if there was a thread on this already.

One, I was wondering if there is a list of full sized bluetooth keyboards that are known to be compatible with the PS3.

The second, I was wondering if there is already a version of Linux that I can download for my PS3, and if there is, any feedback from people who have used/tied it out. Thanks so much for any help!

1. Since 1.6 just came out if you check the official PS3 forums they probalby have a BT keyboard/mouse thread going.

2. Yellow Dog Linux is already available to download.

I've been using the Logitech Dinovo keyboard. As well as the older MX900 mouse. I have two of those keyboards, one for the PC and one for the PS3.

I've been trying to find a good list of bluetooth keyboard and mouse that work with the PS3 as well. I haven't found a good list yet. But the apple bluetooth & mouse does NOT work, just a FYI.

This is all I could find so far:

Logitech MX900 Bluetooth Cordless Optical Mouse
Logitech diNovo Edge
Microsoft Elite Bluetooth Keyboard & IntelliMouse

I tried starting a thread in the official playstation forums but nobody really posted to it. They usually get closed and say use the One & Only 1.6 firmware thread, which has NO info about bluetooth keyboard & mouse. Unless you want to search threw the many, many pages of it .....

What they need to make is a Bluetooth Keyboard with an integrated mouse like a touch pad. I know Logitech makes one, but its IR.

Give me a link to it, and I'll post in it. I've been a member there for almost 6 years. If it is closed, I'll make a new one.

The official PS forums suck. They lock every thread without giving you an answer. I posted a question about the upcomming Madcatz bluetooth headset that is specificly for the PS3, and just wanted some comments about it and it got locked with a link to current bluetooth headsets that work. And that wasnt' even close to what I wanted to know.

Bluetooth keyboards and mice are not supported in any distro of PS3 compatible Linux (yet). I recommend purchasing a wireless USB keyboard and mouse instead as it will work 100% with the PS3 XMB and Linux without any hassles. They will also be about $75-100 cheaper as well.

I'm currently running a nice Logitech Cordless Desktop EX110 USB keyboard and mouse combo on my PS3. It's all black, has great range, works like a charm, and only cost me $40 at Staples.

This sounds like a great low-cost interim solution before a dedicated PS3 BT keyboard emerges. Do you need to install any software from the included CD?

jontsp · 04-11-2007, 10:11 AM

so, does the EX110 USB keyboard and mouse combo work with the newest update of firmware on the ps3? dont you have to install the driver? Im looking to buy a cheap usb keyboard/mouse and can get the ex110 for $25.
Respond ASAP!!!
THANKS!
