    Controller vs Bluetooth keyboard

    I currently play with my ps3 controller and was wondering if it would be a worthwhile/recommended investment to get a Bluetooth keyboard to play with. Any thoughts and/or opinions would be appreciated.

    If youre going to play with KB use a wired one. Theres an input delay when you use wireless keyboards on consoles. Im on PS4 AND the delay is noticeable. I would imagine it would be the same if not worse on PS3.

    Input delay will vary with the type of wireless keyboard. I stayed away from bluetooth ones just for that reason. I use a Logitech K400 wireless with my PS4, though I only use it for communication purposes, I don't notice any delay. Though you will lose a USB slot as that is what the wireless sensor uses, but I don't really use those slots for anything anyways other than charging the controllers so its no worry to me.

    Bluetooth keyboards will also have the issue that the share the same radio spectrum as Wi-Fi so if the area has a lot of Wi-Fi usage, it will also suffer very bad lag and possibly disconnects.
