FFXIV: ARR for PS3, Keyboard?Follow

On PS2 I used a full on keyboard. I have the ps3 micro keyboard attachment thingy but I still find a classic keyboard on my lap the best thing. It's just easier for me. The ps3 controller keyboard just has far too many tab/top triggers to be efficient. Unless you're a healer chances are you won't be communicating in the thick of it unless you're mic'd.

Well, I think these posts are on the same topic, if you decide on a PS3 Controller and a Wireless Keyboard option. This Thread

I think a few of us were convinced to buy THIS keyboard. I was one of them and I really like it. Its small but not too small. It has a sweet range and you can plug an play. All for under $30. The batteries are supposed to last a longgggg time too.

Someone will post that Keyboard with two thumb sticks in a few posts.

I picked this one up as well for my PS3 and am very pleased.

I am using a wireless logitech k360 keyboard, there si a numeric pad and function keys. It is great!!

Here's the link to Amazon if you need to get one.

And here's the link to the PS2-->USB converter so you can use it on a PS3.

It has been confirmed from a poster on the beta forum that mouse do work on the PS3, also I by pressing R1+L3 a mouse icon appears on screen for ease of use.

This was the controller I used to use, but seeing as how I can now have a full keyboard I think that might be beneficial. Does just about any wireless usb keyboard work or does it have to have something specific?

Logitech K360 is probably going to be your best bet. It's wireless, compact, and cheap. If you want to shell out some dough though I would go with the Logitech Netplay controller/keyboard combo. That thing was amazing for FFXI. However you may want to pick up a USB splitter then so you can use a mouse as well since PS3 still supports it. It's great to have a mouse to accompany the controller for menus and the like.

I found that little R1+L3 "mouse mode" Icon to be the opposite of easy to use. An actual USB mouse is far superior.

I'm still crossing my fingers for the PC User Interface (not the crossbar) to be available as an option for PS3 users.

Also, if the text command /nextenemy is implemented, then you would be able to create a User Macro and map it to the Cross-bar. During P3, the PS3 really needed a way to easily select/switch targets during battle. I think this is essential, and I just can't see how it would possibly be overlooked in P4 and release.
