I used to use the Logitech Netplay Controller for FFXI on PS2 and it was awesome. Is there anything like that controller for PS3? I have the PS3 KB that clips onto the Dual-Shock... and it is horrible... very difficult to carry on any kind of a conversation with it. For now, I'm the silent PS3 player and would love a solution that doesn't involve using a mouse or having to put down my controller every time I need to type. The Netplay controller was the perfect solution for that.

Why not just use the ps2 one you have? you can spring for an adapter for like 5 bucks.

So I finally received my Netplay controller and adapter but the controller doesn't work in ARR... The controller and KB work in the PS3 XMB, all of my other games (SE games too) and also it works in the ARR login. The KB works in ARR but the controller doesn't. I've tried with the mode button on and off, it just won't work?
Anyone else using a netplay controller and experiencing this? How did you get it to work in ARR? -

This is the one I use, fits over the ps3 controller perfectly, as it is made by Sony. It's essentially like texting during mid-game, which I can live with. Costs like $25 on Amazon.

Yeah... I have that one and don't like it. The buttons are too stiff, awkward to use and it repeats letters quite often. Big fingers are not compatible with it...
I used the Netplay controller for a good 4 years on FFXI so going back to it feels quite natural, if only it would work. -
