Forums - Gaming Discussion - PS3 keypad delayed to December

Wonder why the delay?

Copy infringement of the 360 pad? or the Cell not being able to handle the keypad?

typing with your thumbs sounds uncomfortable enough aswell - good thing you can just use an usb-keyboard instead of these conroller attachments

How would you propose someone to type with a keypad if they don't use their thumbs? A keypad is not a keyboard where you can position your hands in the asdfjkl; home row position. If you were to ever use a phone with a keypad, it's the exact same way, use your thumbs. The Sony pad put it way out of reach for you to use your thumbs while still maintaining a grip on the controller. Sure there are other options(USB keyboard), but that isn't what this topic is about. It's about the keypad, how it's delayed and whether it's a functional device or not. I say not.

@ twesterm )

problem is: I hate mobile phones or smartphones or any kind of phones, so ... that comparison doesn't make it any more sympathetic to me

and ofcourse they had to be different to avoid paying royalties to MS for using the same concept



sorry twestern i'll just report next time.



after holding my own controller, that is actually a much more comfortable position than if it was below the controller.
