Marketing suggestion: Official FFXIV keyboard and mouse

[Eekiki]

Much in the same way you guys released an official FFXIV USB gamepad when the PC version launched, why not release an official PS3 compatible bluetooth keyboard & mouse combo to coincide with the PS3 release? I'm sure there's gonna be a lot of people who are gonna want to play with a keyboard and mouse, even on the PS3.

My setup in my apartment has a long HDMI cable going from my PC in my bedroom to the A/V receiver in my living room, so I can play PC games on my big TV with surround sound. I use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse (plus a wireless XBox 360 controller) to use the PC from my couch. It's awesome, and I think there would be a market for this on the PS3.

Until the keyboard and mouse controls work fluidly, I do not think selling official keyboard and mice for FFXIV would be profitable?

Being the merchandise whore that i am, i would buy that shit up without thinking twice.

No to bluetooth. I prefer a wired mouse and keyboard.

Plus I've got a G510 and an Mx510 so I'd really like to see something that at least matches the features I've currently got.

There are already official branded PC accessories.

Manufacturer website

There's also a bluetooth mouse that isn't listed there for some reason. The keyboard has a dock for your authenticator so that it doesn't get lost.

I used to play FFXI on the PS2 using a Logitech Netplay Controller, and I really liked it. If a version of this controller (either official or unofficial) came out for the PC or PS3, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

I hate you. Now I want to spend money on something I don't need. Thanks a lot!

OH...MY....GOD...BECKY...LOOK AT THAT MOUSE.... IT HAS A FFXIV LOGO!!

seriously... their marketing guy needs to go... rather than putting FFXIV logo put some chocobo, make the mouse yellow, add some extra button on that crappy mouse... why the hell we have to use some crappy old school mouse that has FFXIV logo only and pay more than a $10-$20 mouse that has 10 buttons on cheap websites.

Make the keyboard glow green and have small LED display showing chocobo running away from chasing cactaur with Eorzea clock inside...

Just slapping on some FFXIV logo wont get me excited enough to buy those crap... (and I'm super Square-Enix fan... I have all kinds of stuff from SE... figures, models, tshirt, signed stuff, cups, plates swords [swords not official SE stuff])

Oh by the way... here is the speaker close up image: http://www.4gamer.net/games/023/G002...t.html?num=005

OH MY GODDDDDDDDDD FFXI TEXT IN THERE!!! I MUST GET IT!!! Lkpo23khj098ijkl!!!

Stuff like this: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA300_.jpg is what I want.

I second that. What lazy design! Looks like the guy responsible for copy-pasting the zones in FFXIV took a second job as a product designer at Elecom.
