It’s been a while since my last post, and with good reason. I recently went through a draining used PS3 chase that left me with no choice but to acquire a new one instead. Outside work and other gym stuff, free time has been more scarce because Nikko Bellic and Chris Redfield. So yeah, no more looking at empty PS3 boxes through store windows!

Well anyway, I was in Trinoma mall yesterday when decided to go to their small technology wing. Even though I didn’t have the money or the time to splurge on another game, I just wanted to find out if there was anything new.

What did I find? Another P500 bucks out my wallet care of CD-R King — on what I think is the cheapest and most useful add-on you can buy for your PS3 controller. If you’re always online with your PS3, you’d know what I mean.

After standing in line for more than 15 minutes, I had purchased myself, a mini QWERTY keyboard attachment for my PS3 controller. The pack came with the following items:

All you need to do is mount the PS3 QWERTY keyboard on the controller using the included mount. When not in use, you don’t even have to take the thing off as it doesn’t interfere with any button or analog controller movements. Unless your playing posture requires you to hold your hands up without using any surface to use an an anchor, the weight of the keyboard (even with the two AAA batteries) won’t cause any kind of discomfort.

Sure, you can plug in a normal USB keyboard, but if you’re looking for something non-obtrusive, this is the way to go.  The PS3 CD-R King QWERTY keyboard controller doesn’t change the way you play videogames, but definitely makes it a whole lot easier.
