Keyboard and mouse controller for PS3 coming

Looks cool. That'd make RTS games control a lot better, I think. But it doesn't look like the mouse would be very convenient to use on a couch or in an arm chair.

shit, now blizzard has more of a reason to release Diablo 3 on the PS3, which i am not happy about, PC games need to stay on the PC.

Yep, therefore this product is obsolete from day 1.

Is this true? Or is it like the PS2 with only a limited amounted of games?

I know the PS2 could have utilized more games with the USB Keyboard Mouse combo, I went the SmartJoy Frag route to work with all the FPS and Spinner Trakball style games.

The PS3 control looks interesting, pulled a pic.

To throw the Thread off a little, has anyone tried the ZBoard for the PC. I saw one moderately priced, deciding if I should go back and get it.

Not this one:

Some games support mouse and keyboard, some do not. Looks like that keystub thing is actually emulating a gamepad.

So it would be compatible with everything, right?

It should be. You lose analog sensitivity for whatever maps to the left stick today but that probably isn't an issue.

Damn, that thing looks great. I've been wanting to try out the PS3 FPSes and this controller might have me put those FPSes further up my want list.

I dunno man. With all the DRM, patches, and other nonsense I find myself enjoying console ports more and more.
