i-rocks Superman Media Slim Keyboard (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this keyboard exclusively for use with my Playstation 3. I was tired of entering text with the controller, arrowing through a virtual keyboard. When trying to keep up with live chatting or what have you, reply time is quite important. Though there are a couple Dualshock-mounted keypads on the market, 1) They are tiny, 2) they most likely piggyback onto the controller's battery pack, thus draining the battery much faster, and 3) They're $50. This is $15.
This keyboard plugged right in and worked right away, with no software to install, no stupid drivers to download, and no rebooting necessary. A true plug-and-play accessory. In fact, I'm typing on it right now.
It's very slim and very light. The keys are pretty "soft" and don't make a lot of clicking and clacking when you type.
Sure, there are a lot of "envelope" an "house" and "magnifying glass" buttons on it, but I'm not sure what they all do, and I'm not about to start pushing them while I'm writing this.
The only gripe is that this keyboard has a single-size "backspace" key. As in, the backspace key is the same physical size as a letter key. Until you get used to it, you're going to be entering a lot of "\"s instead of backspacing.
Remember that this is corded, so if you have a 72" television, you can't sit across the room and type things. The cable on this is probably six-feet long. But at least you'll never run out of batteries like you will if you've got a wireless or Bluetooth keyboard.
All in all, this was quite a sound purchase for me. I'll use it all the time, and the fact that there a big red Superman logo on it only sweetens the deal. However, it is technicaly a Superman Returns keyboard and since that movie is kind of old by now, that might explain why these aren't really for sale anymore. Perhaps i-Rocks makes the same thing, just not Superman-style.
Enjoy!
