My husband (this account holder) Plays a lot of Borderlands and BO2 and he likes to use the keyboard attachment. Would this be suitable for gameplay?

I only use the logitech keyboard for searches the built in method of entering text would try the patience of the most loyal sony user.Another thing, Sony didn't allow Logitech to have a PS button so it effectively rendered the keyboard into a eunuch like effectiveness in relation to the "duelshock 3" meaning some things you may want are missing. I understand nothing about what your husband is doing or wants to do but I would suggest you buy a used Logitech keyboard in the $20 dollar range and see for yourself. It is a reliable and well made keyboard otherwise.

No. There is noticeable Bluetooth latency with this keyboard. Great for media centers, terrible for high action gaming.

Well..im not sure exactly...as in he wants to use the keyboard as in keyboard and mouse like you do with the computer? I guess i should ask is he playing Borderlands on the computer or ps3? Its a wireless keyboard so it should work with computer no problem. Now if your asking if it will (the controls) be teh same on the pc as it is on the ps3 (directional buttons on the keyboard as opposed to the controller then i dont know).All in all, it will work fine on the pc but the controls will be pc (computer based = mouse and keyboard). It will work with the ps3 for chat and some navigation but as far as gameplay, I am not sure.I agree with the others.

You should be able to with caveats. Realize that you have to consider the cord length of the Orbweaver. I don't know the exact length of the cord, ~6 ft.? That may not be enough depending on your setup. Plus, there are over 20 keys that you can macro/program via Synapse, so depending on the game you are playing, you may have enough keys to play the game (or not) without keyboard.

Absolutely, had it for about two and a half years now and I'm a claw grip gamer, no complaints about comfort or button accessibility.

I would not recommend it for gaming. When mine was working the response time was too slow to be used for quick input. My Sharkk mouse

Yes it can! What you will need is a adapter that will allow you to use keyboard and mice for ps4. I found one a while back but i forgot what it was called. Good luck finding it if you want it!

The touchpad and buttons work just as a mouse. If that is all you are needing for the game is mouse usage it should be no problem. The only thing I haven't tried was click and drag.

I do not care for Infantry type games like CALL OF DUTY, MEDAL OF HONOR: I prefer ELITE, WING COMMANDER or 4X Grand Strategy games. For these mouse emulation of the mini keyboard are very satisfactory. However the lag time in an FPS type game might not be as optimal as regular dedicated Gamepad would provide.

It will handle light online games but I wouldn't try anything that is very graphics intensive like Halo.It is great for all the light tasks you mention above. The keyboard is full size so it's a good standard keyboard for kids learning how to type.

I didn't get the keyboard. I got the mouse, the mouse is worth the cost, but it also isn't a hundred bucks... I can''t speak for the keyboard. I am currently using the steelseries gaming keyboard, with the dedicated gaming zone on the left. It is pretty nice. It took some getting used to. Mostly because there are duplicates of many of the keys and everything is kind of jammed together. I like it now though.

It probably will however I would advise buying the used models offered because the logitech keyboard I have is missing important functionality most notably the PS button. It is mostly useful when doing searches or inputting passphrases as entering text with the default controller or even the 'stick on' wireless keyboards is frustrating in the least. So yes the keyboard is an improvement but without the PS button it is relegated to mostly text entering needs. It can be used for limited navigating and entering etc. but it's bothersome. Don't spend all that money on a new keyboard they're not worth it.

A mouse and keyboard are 2 different things with different functions. If he is looking for a mouse, then you probably need to get him a mouse. The keypads aren't for navigation as the mouse is used for. But yes, this is good, though I highly recommend the Razer Deathstalker Chroma if you are looking for a cheaper alternative because it has LED customization and a lower cost.

Should be ok, but it only works like a keyboard / mouse. My suggestion is that you can find some other similar ones that are a half size smaller than this one. This keyboard is too big; I cannot hold it in just one hand. My friend has a smaller one, she can type the keyboard and move the pointer around with one hand. Very convenient.

Yes I would recommend anyone to get this its extremely useful; games or applications. I have a mouse with a lot of buttons too but after adding this device into my setup it just completes it! I would say get it, he will like it and for the price you can't go wrong. :)

I use it for Dota, Minecraft, TF2 just fine. I've never used a game my keyboard, so I wouldn't be aware of the advantages. You can buy cherry keycard from a number of sellers if you wanted textured WASD or QWER

I would think so. I use mine for mapping keystrokes as a sizzle button and works great. As long as you can input the characters its should work fine. :D

I play Fable 1 on high settings, and Borderlands 2 on Medium settings with no problems. If you have Prime and are looking for good gaming this is what I would get, however don't expect to play Battle Field on high settings...But then again that is just a huge game by itself. I had problems streaming Borderlands 2, but I stream my P64 and just fine. I would say ok for most games, but for what you are asking I would look for a higher priced laptop.
