PS3 mouse and keyboard

[Ren0W]

Is it possible to use a mouse and keyboard to play games on the PS3 ie. MW2 ?

[Andy Jones]

I think Unreal III is the only game that allows you to play via this method, There is an official mouse type controller but I think Lauren on here gave one a try and hated it?

You can use a standard usb mouse, for controlling the XMB etc.

But I doubt developers would support it in the likes of MW2 as it'd give an unfair advantage.

I think I've seen one thats like half a controller and a mouse ??

H3RB? does this exist ?

ive got a usb keyboard and mouse installed and it makes naigating menues and the internet a far super experience, but i cant say i have found any games that i play with any programmed compatability, which would be awsome for fps games.

Likewise... People often ask me why i prefer the PS3 to the Xbox and one of the main things for me is that i can use it to browse the net.

Saves my wife complaining that i hog the PC upstairs!

I use my ps3 more than my PC for web browsing. Wondering though if at some point MS will role out a full web browser for the 360? They have Facebook on it now, and Skyplayer.

nope

Microsoft exec Aaron Greenberg has said that a web browser for the Xbox 360 will never be released.

Speaking to Edge, the Xbox product director ruled out such software for the console and claimed that surfing the internet on a home television is a "poor experience".

When asked whether the Xbox 360 would get a browser similar to the Wii and PS3's, he replied: "No. We really believe that the web browsing experience on TV is a poor one, and the real magic is to take those web experiences and optimise them for the living room.

"That's what we did with Netflix. So, sure, you can go on the PS3 and go to Facebook and and try to navigate, but it's an absolute nightmare."

He added: "No disrespect, there's things I love about the PS3, but that's not one of them. We want the online experience to be fun and optimised for the living room, and we'll continue to add more applications to get more richness."

Microsoft recently launched the Game Room on Xbox Live Arcade.

That sucks.

I'm pretty good with a mouse (awesome reflexes).
But the controller makes me slow and makes me look like a handicapped retard that suffers from dementia

[JohnnyC]

How do you use a mouse on your lap?????

I'll have to start wearing a skirt, again! Guess that might work.

[Blacklightning66]

the mouse pad that comes with it is massive and hard, so you put that on your lap..

I'm getting a Logitech keyboard which has a trackpad built in; however Sony have deleted OtherOS support (as yet I'm refusing to update the console, and have called Sony's PR and UK marketing people to discuss this).

I'll do a mini review, but I don't have MWII or anything which supports it - I wanted it for Linux/Internet stuff.
