    Then again, like me she's an older Gen-Xer who first learned to type on a typewriter (back when those were still a thing) and that skill translated far better to standard PC keyboards than it does to miniature ones like this. Maybe Millennials who are more comfortable with thumb typing on their phones might find thumb typing on a mini keyboard fit between the left and right grips of their controller to be a better fit than my friend or I would.

    And if you can type comfortably enough, there would certainly be a convenience factor in having only one input device to deal with rather than alternating between two.

    For all PS4 users, the PS4 is set to sleep Bluetooth devices with no activity after a few minutes. So typing with Bluetooth keyboards, you will usually notice a delay when first typing if you haven't used it in a few minutes. I highly suggest a wired keyboard. Also, not all Bluetooth keyboards are compatible with PS4 (though MOST are compatible).

    As for the controller keyboard attachments, I used those when I first started playing this game and didn't like them at all because the buttons were so small. Then I went to Bluetooth keyboard because I had a spare lying around, but I just couldn't get use to the delay especially when I'm running dungeons and trying to type. Now I use a wired keyboard for my PS4 for chat and I love that setup. But if you do want wireless because of the hassle of wires, then you'll just have to get use to the delay for PS4.
