    Hi,

    I have difficulty using the PS3 controller.(old age)

    Did a search, but cannot find answer(possibly also old age related) :D

    Is it possible to get a bluetooth keyboard for the PS3 which will work with COD and other games?
    I'm sick of the grankids beating up on me.lol

    Thanks

    For gaming generally you cant use a mouse and keyboard for ps3. Just for typing. I think Unreal Tournament was the only game that had that support.

    But as an alternative, check out the Fragnstein i think its www.bannco.com its a kind of mouse thing for consoles. But apparently there is a lot of fiddling to be done with firmware to get it working for different FPS games.

    Check out this: http://href.in/bm30je

    or search the official playstation website, they have a small keyboard with a touch pad for the mouse that snaps onto the ps3 controller for about €40.

    Actually there is something that will allow you to use a mouse and keyboard but your PS3 will have to be in proximity to the PC.
    Its called a XIM i think you need a ps2 to ps3 control pad adaptor as well, I dont know anything about it but that setup would fit your needs, should be plenty of info on google.
