Is easier to use the interface on PC or is it the same with a PS3?

I have both. It is more simple to set up on PS3, but if you don't have a separate amp/surround system you will end up with lag time, even through an HDMI. So you need an external system! On that note, sound bars don't have head phone jacks, so if you want to keep the rest of the house from hearing you they wont work.Also, if you buy extra songs they don't convert from one system to the other. Although I prefer the ps3, a newer laptop pc is much more versatile.

Tested and works with both PC and PS3 AS IS without issues. No adapter needed.

Yep - it is. PS3 and this keyboard mate quickly without the need for the USB dongle.

I just purchased the MX 5500 today and to answer to your question, YES! At first I was going to buy the diNovo Mini, because they actually advertise it as being compatible with the PS3 and I liked the size of it. However, today whiile browsing through my base exhange store, I noticed the MX 5500 on display and decided to purchase it. Now the only way I was going to keep it, depended on the PS3 compatibility. Had it not been I would have returned it the next day. Thankfully, that won't be necessary as I am typing this with it at this moment. Now it takes a little time to pair, but it will pair up. In your PS3 settings where you register your bluetooth devices, select scan, then press the red button under the bottom of the keyboard to connect the device. Within three seconds, the PS3 will recognize the device. Here's where it gets tricky. It will ask you to enter a six-digit code using the actual device. The first several times I tried, the PS3 stated that no connection was made and to try again. So I kept trying until it finally paired up. Then you do the same with the mouse. When promted to enter another device, just press the red button underneath the mouse. Much to my surprise,I learned that not only does it work with text, it also controls the home UI as well! You can scroll through all the icons on the home screen using the mouse and or keyboard. You can also control the funtions within the icons, such as select, play, stop, options, etc. The way I found out was just pressing buttons just to see what would happen. So far, I am very please with this product.

Just to clarify JS Powel's comment. Some bases ARE interchangeable. PS3 and PS4 bases are interchangeable so if you upgrade your system from the PS3 to the PS4, you would only have to buy the software I believe.

Ive heard people have been able to get it to work...(i personally dont really need the ps button) for first person shooters. Some games I will buy just for the pc because of the keyboard mouse combo I have. It would just be nice if I could get this bluetooth keyboard to work with the pS3.

It can for the most part. We use our PS3 to view media from our network. You can use PS3Media Server (it's a free program) to stream all types of media formats from your PC. We watch mostly Japanese Animates in .mkv format and it plays great on the PS3 using the free program. We also use Play-on software, but really don't use it as much as PS3Media. If you have a PS3 it is worth trying the program, worked so much better than TVersity and less hassle setting it up. Also works with XBOX 360.

The controller comes with a USB adapter, so you do not need anything for PC use! I also use it for PC games only.

I got it to work with my PC but not my PS3 that it was intended for. I think it requires that it uses analog and digital with the vga? Not sure. Hope that helps bro. "Be excellent to each other!" - Abe Lincoln

I'm not certain that it is sir. I've used both and I'd say go with what the game recommends. For any normal day to day computer usage they'll both just sit idle if you know what I mean.

No, but I use my ps3 as a media server to stream from my PC. You can do the same with an Xbox360.

I have never owned a PS3, so i can't answer your question. You could google it or check on You Tube.

It's pretty awesome. There's no deficiencies and no haziness while playing on my PS4. Everything looks crystal clear and it should work find on the PS3 as well. Let me know how it goes for you!

Unfortunately, no. As far as controllers go, it has no advantages over the original PS3 other than comfort but even that is dashed because the tiny shoulder buttons sometimes pinch fingers.

IMHO, you will be dealing with the same kind of limitations/challenges as any other PC based configurations for live sets. If you are brave enough to work with computers in live performance, just consider the triple Play as any other controller. Delays and change in sounds will depend strongly on your computer configuration. Hope it helps.

If you're playing a charge character or shoto, xbox control is better, if you're playing a hybrid/rush then the PS3 control is slightly better. The difference in quality for fighting games isn't huge. (Unlike the 360 one which I feel is worthless for fighting games).

I've seen it used on both systems with no problem at all. Just plug it in and go.
