Sony is introducing a wireless keypad that can be attached to the system's controller for chatting online, Web browsing and communicating on Playstation Home.
The Bluetooth-enabled keypad, available in November, is intended to make it easier to chat during multiplayer games. Currently players talk to each other over headsets with microphones, but gamers that are tired of hearing inane banter from their peers may welcome the ability to put down their earpieces and communicate through typing instead.
The keypad can also be used as a touch pad, with your finger becoming the mouse. This will be beneficial when surfing the web.
The keypad is finished in black and is powered via a rechargeable, lithium-ion battery.
The product sounds fine and dandy, but it seems to be a better fit for the Nintendo Wii, who is light years behind in their voice chat technology.
