PS3 Controller Keypad

I'm currently playing FFXIV on PC and was looking to make the transition to the PS3 version when it comes out.

I was wondering if anyone has ever used this Keypad add-on for the PS3 controller? Thoughts?

It will probably be better than moving your hands from gamepad to keyboard anytime you want to talk.
I guess the only drawback is that the buttons are sorta small. I doubt many have it seeing as must just use voice chat on the PS3.

Funny thing is I use a controller and I don't even notice when I do that. It just happens.

I rather just use a keyboard.. would be a lot faster for me atleast using the keyboard over that thing. If you don't want to use a keyboard, i suppose that is the controller to go with.

I have that, but for me its a million times easier and faster to just use a keyboard.

Would you be able able to elaborate? Are the buttons too small to be effective? I'll probably be playing from my couch so a full keyboard might be a bit hard to maneuver.

just like what someone else said its basically like txt'ing. but you need an even bigger hand cause instead of just holding a little phone your holding a whole controller and the finger placement takes a while to get use to. If you can type just fine while txting you shouldn't have any problem with it but if you do have a problem txt'ing than its probably better to stick with a full kb

Pretty sure he just types faster then pressing those little buttons, like texting lol xD

I use to use a Blackberry so if it is anything like that, I should be alright.

The placement just seems a bit awkward. Looks kinda high up.
