Compatible with PS3? Since this has bluetooth, does the keyboard and mouse work with the Playstation 3 (PS3)?

I just purchased the MX 5500 today and to answer to your question, YES! At first I was going to buy the diNovo Mini, because they actually advertise it as being compatible with the PS3 and I liked the size of it. However, today whiile browsing through my base exhange store, I noticed the MX 5500 on display and decided to purchase it. Now the only way I was going to keep it, depended on the PS3 compatibility. Had it not been I would have returned it the next day. Thankfully, that won't be necessary as I am typing this with it at this moment. Now it takes a little time to pair, but it will pair up. In your PS3 settings where you register your bluetooth devices, select scan, then press the red button under the bottom of the keyboard to connect the device. Within three seconds, the PS3 will recognize the device. Here's where it gets tricky. It will ask you to enter a six-digit code using the actual device. The first several times I tried, the PS3 stated that no connection was made and to try again. So I kept trying until it finally paired up. Then you do the same with the mouse. When promted to enter another device, just press the red button underneath the mouse. Much to my surprise,I learned that not only does it work with text, it also controls the home UI as well! You can scroll through all the icons on the home screen using the mouse and or keyboard. You can also control the funtions within the icons, such as select, play, stop, options, etc. The way I found out was just pressing buttons just to see what would happen. So far, I am very please with this product.

If you search thru the reviews, you'll come the the conclusion that it does NOT. PS3's remote controls only work via bluetooth. This doesn't make much sense to me --- Sony's universal remote can't even control their own device? But that's the way it is with PS3. You'll need a bluetooth remote

Yes, the version I purchased has both( Slim). I had some little difficulty setting up the wireless network( It isn't that hard, I just didn't know what I was doing). I also established a Bluetooth connection with a Bluetooth keyboard( It was relatively easy.)------ FYI, not backwards compatible with Ps2 games :(

Not sure if this works with PS3, I never tried it. I had nothing but problems with this headset, i would not recommend it. It would just randomly stop working and I would have to reboot my computer several times to get it to recognize it. Seemed to be that you had to have it plugged in when it booted up to make it work. Logitech sent me a replacement and it never worked, I eventually lost patience and just bought a Microsoft headset and have had no issues with it.

Yes, this works with my PS3. I believe they are also interchangeable with PS4 and the X-box.

Dude, we must be on different frequencies, lol. This is a perfect keyboard. But it is only designed to fit and function with a PS3 controller.

Jeff, sorry I don't have a PS3 to check, the playstation community site maintains a list of keyboards and mice that users have checked, that would probably be where I would look. It does work well with a PC and an Android smart display I have so I think it would work for you, but have no way to be sure.

S. Session,I had similar question and called iGo.com Tech Support, and the answer is no for now. They do not have a driver for PS3 for this BT keyboard. He said to keep checking back to their website as they continually update drivers. It could be a short or long wait.I have one on the way and I am not sure if I'll keep it as there are so many limitations and compatibility issues.One would assume BT is similar to USB where device can be 'universally' recognized -- NOT for BT I guess.Dissappointed!

I have not replaced the keyboard and mouse. But yes a Bluetooth or USB mouse and keyboard would work.

Yes and no. You can pair bluetooth with a PS3 but you can only get chat audio from it, not game audio.

I can verify that you don't need the USB dongle to use this keyboard with the PS3. I do, and I think it works really well with the PS3. One thing (that I was disappointed about) tho, if you are planning on using this keyboard with a machine that has internal bluetooth, don't expect to have a generic bluetooth-USB adapter to use where ever. The dongle ONLY works with this keyboard, a fact that is verified on Logitech's own support forum (unfortunately I don't have a direct link). I have _not_ yet tried using this keyboard on the PS3 with Linux though.

I have never tried to connect it with blue tooth but if any it will only connect to the ps3 but I don't know for sure.

It works well with a PS3. A Bluetooth device should work with an bluetooth device.

It works with the PS3. Just note that it will only work as a headset. If you think you can get the game audio and voice chat - NO. Until sony updates its firmware to support the A2dp bluetooth profile, its just a regular headset

In theory, if your PS3 is bluetooth compatible. However, buy a different pair than these.
