Jwkilla99 23 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Hey guys, Just thought I'd ask this question because I can't find any accessory information for what I'm looking for from Best Buy. I'm not a huge fan of typing out PSN messages and GTA V messages with the PS3/PS4 controllers that I currently own. It takes far to long and it's a huge pain in the ass I find.. I use to own an Xbox 360 way back when and I know you were able to purchase a mini-keyboard that you could use for Xbox LIVE conversations to make things easier.. I've been looking everywhere and I can't seem to find an official Sony keyboard that is compatible with the PS3 and the PS4, so I thought I'd ask here. I'm wanting a keyboard, ideally, a wireless one that isn't huge that I can use to type out messages as I mentioned above. The key thing here is I want one that would be compatible with both my PS3 and my PS4. After doing a little bit of research I found that it could be possible to get a USB wireless keyboard/Bluetooth keyboard to work, but my question then is, would it work on both systems and is it efficient? Does anyone have a keyboard that they use to type messages out on PSN? If so, what would you rate it? Thanks a lot guys! Looking forward to hearing these responses.

Hannabis_80 328 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I use this one sometimes, but I don't do a lot of psn msgs. I mostly use it on my laptop.I don't have a ps4 so I don't know if it will work. The ps4 isn't listed as compatible, but that's also an old description. http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00CKSWBB6/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/1481-ps3ps4-keyboards/#findComment-20608 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProFactoryInc 32 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Well I certainly feel your pain on the PS3 issue. It's a serious pain in the ass messaging from the ps3. I don't know if they are all like that but mine seriously lags a lot when I try to type fast. Especially when GTA is online. On the PS4 however, it's soooo much smoother and faster. What I use is the Playstation app on my Android. I normally have it open whenever I am playing GTA that way I can easily message my fellow crew members. I'm pretty sure the app is available for both Android and iOS. You should try it out before spending on a keyboard, assuming you have a smart phone.

furdog 525 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Usually any usb, or bluetooth to usb dongle, keyboard would work, no need to look for something specifically compatible with PS3/PS4. I use a full sized wired Microsoft keyboard on my PS3 and it works just fine.

JustHatched 12,123 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I've never plugged a keyboard into mine, thought about it but just haven't. I do use this and doubt it will work with the PS4 Quote The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

shadowvan 33 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I got a $5 USB keyboard from a yard sale. its the same one wally world (Walmart) sells for like $10. don't need a fancy Sony one or anything. any USB keyboard should work. not sure about ps4 but I'm confident it would be the same Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/1481-ps3ps4-keyboards/#findComment-22584 Share on other sites More sharing options...
