Fun:
If you have a PS3 60GB system and are considering the utilization of the Wi-Fi feature for internet and online play, (which I presume is why you pay for the deluxe model) then YOU NEED this wireless keyboard. Sure, you can always navigate online with a game controller, but I'll wager that after 10 minutes of entering characters one at a time with a controller you will have had enough.
This keyboard is fully compatible with the PS3 console and comes with a mousing finger pad built right in to it. This eliminates the clumsiness of having to work a separate mouse on a flat surface. When you want to relax on your couch the last thing you want to do is have to lean over a table to work a mouse. With this board, you just sit back and do it all right from your lap.
The keyboard works on USB technology, not Bluetooth. It communicates seamlessly with the PS3 via a small USB dongle that plugs right into one of the 4 ports on the front of the console. The unit boasts a wireless range of over 30 feet. I use mine at a distance of about 20 feet and it works famously. There is no software to load onto the console whatsoever. Just plug the dongle in the console, pop 2 included AA batteries in the keyboard and go.
There is a Bluetooth keyboard available that is compatible with PS3 as well, but it is twice the price of this unit and if I'm not mistaken it has a separate mouse. So until something else comes along this is the one to get.

Fun:
The new firmware update for the PS3 that was released on July 24th 2007 has made keyboard function very easy now. it has made everything accesable from your keyboard for example:
F1 brings up side menu (right click does this too)
F4 now brings up the adress bar (you needed a controller for this function before this update.)
F5 refreshes
Backspace now goes to your previous page
Keyboard functions actually work now like page up and page down button plus the home and end buttons (these functions never worked)
The TAB button actually does what it is meant to do now, and the Esc button quits any application you are in which means it takes on any functionof the o button.
Lastly you can now just type in forum area without the virtual keyboard coming up the PS3 now recognizes you are using a keyboard.
Pretty much the mouse takes on the function of the analog stick so anything you can do with your analog stick you can do with the mouse pad, and the arrows take on the function of the D pad.
This is hands down the best keyboard you can get for use with the PS3 especially if you are into a laptop style keyboard it has the scroll on the touchpad and the double touch option on the touch pad for selecting items. It is extremely thin and weighs almost nothing, plus it is fully functional with a PC so there is no reason to get rid of it once you are done using it for your PS3. There is no software installation just plug in this little USB piece that is about half the lenght of a flash memory stick and you have up to 30ft with the keyboard and I have yet to experience any interference. This method of wireless connection is much more reliable than blue tooth.
