I used to use the Logitech Netplay Controller for FFXI on PS2 and it was awesome. Is there anything like that controller for PS3? I have the PS3 KB that clips onto the Dual-Shock... and it is horrible... very difficult to carry on any kind of a conversation with it. For now, I'm the silent PS3 player and would love a solution that doesn't involve using a mouse or having to put down my controller every time I need to type. The Netplay controller was the perfect solution for that.
