Logitech Cordless Mediaboard pro (Bluetooth) (PS3) (Video Game)

great wireless input device Excellent for wireless input from your couch. The integrated touchpad makes it a great input device for any media center. Installation was very simple, powered it up and was found by computer discovering bluetooth devices. Only needed to type a displayed code and hit enter and was paired successfully. Works like a charm. Only disadvantage is the black shiny finishing that makes it very prone to dust

A great keyboard for HTPC I bought this keyboard as the main input device for my HTPC. I know it is labeled as a PS3 device but it works flawlessly in a PC. The only thing that seems unusual is the set of keycodes generated by the multimedia keys. I use it with Debian GNU/Linux. It worked like a charm without any kind of special configuration steps. It conforms to the standard GB keyboard layout. Pros: - By contrast to the typical wireless keyboards it has a much longer range. It is quite confortable to type while laying in front of the TV - I find the builtin touchpad quite handy to avoid the need for a table. Cons: - Batteries last for shorter periods than typical IR keyboards (around 2 weeks if you do not care to switch it off). - The builtin multimedia keys generate keycodes analogous to some other normal keys. This is a bit awkward if you want to control an MP3 player while typing into a word processor. But I find it quite useable in a HTPC using the appropriate key mapping. - I miss some multimedia keys (e.g. volume).

BRILLIANT!!! Brilliant and attractive shiney black keyboard. We use it for wireless internet access via a ps3 and it is very easy to use. Would reccommend it also because it is really reasonably priced and was well packed and delivered quickly.

Windows PC usage. I bought this mediaboard for use on a Windows XP based PC that we use as a media center in the lounge to replace a previous unbranded bluetooth keyboard. Having read a number of reviews it seems clear that the mediaboard is basically a PC type keyboard with a few PS3 features thrown in, rather than a PS3 keyboard that happens to work with a PC. You can see elsewhere how well it works with a PS3, but I thought it might be useful to tell people that it definitely works fine with a PC too. It took me only a few minutes to set up. Unpacked, put batteries in, turn the mediaboard power on (top right), scan for new bluetooth devices on the PC and press reset on the mediaboard (on the underside). Tell the PC that you wish Windows to chose the pairing key, then type the pairing key that Windows gives you into the mediaboard and press Enter. It then paired with no problem and worked fine, recognising both the keyboard and touch pad parts of the mediaboard. The mediaboard powers down to a low power state after about 5 minutes without being used, which saves battery life if you forget to turn it off with the switch. I cannot see any way to configure this time out. The mediaboard returns to full operation after about 1 second after it is turned on. Also, if the mediaboard went to sleep, touching a key or touching the mouse pad brings the mediaboard back to life, again after about 1 second. Technical. There are 5 extra buttons along the top of the keyboard. Menu, > and DVD Menu. The two menu buttons appear to have identical scan codes to the function keys F1 and F2 (59, 60), so not sure what the point of those is... The other three keys appear to have unique scan codes which could be remapped using something like KeyTweak to do useful functions, but I have not tried this so cannot guarantee that this would work. Negative points. The mouse pad really is in the wrong place. I've used a bluetooth keyboard with the mousepad under the keyboard as it is with a laptop, and this is much easier to use two handed (when you want to press a mouse button with your left hand and move the pointer with your right at the same time). However, I doubt I'll be using this for much more than starting films going, or calling up videos on youtube and the odd bit of web browsing, so for me at least it isn't that much of an issue, but it's worth bearing in mind. Also, the on/off switch seems a little on the flimsy side and doesn't really have a very positive action - time will tell if that is an issue or not... One final consideration is that if you intend to use this with a PC (and this is a general issue with all bluetooth keyboards, not just the mediaboard), it will not work when you are in the PC Bios.

Don't buy this I bought the product on a friday. Recieved it saturday. Used it straight away. Stopped working on the sunday. The buttons were sticking and everything and then it just completely stopped working. Don't waste your money on this piece of rubbish! I would ask for a refund or something, but I chucked the box away as soon as I got it, so I doubt they would let me have a replacement or something.
