Playing on PS4- is it really better to get a USB keyboard?

UPDATE:
So I got a usb keyboard (Anker, cheapo from an online retailer). It works wonderfully. I can use it just for chat, or I can go into the options and put additional functionality to it as I want. That said, with all keyboard commands automatically functional by default you can do a LOT more than chat with the keyboard and still do everything else by controller. I'm using it for chat and for emotes at the moment and might use it for more stuff as I familiarise myself with the text command inputs. I can emphatically answer my own OP- yes, it really is better with a keyboard, and yes you can still use the controller as much or as little as you want!

I finally cracked and bought a ps4 today but i cannot for the life of me get the official Sony wireless keyboard to pair at all. My ps4 won't even recognise it's existence. Has anyone had any luck with these? If not i'll snap up another fast.

Thanks for the update and great to hear it is going so well. I have used a keyboard on a number of console MMOs (dating back to EQOA on the PS2) and wouldn't be without it - and it's even the same old keyboard.
