A FAT PS3 (e.g. A01, B01, E01) is able to run via hardware/software emulation legacy games (such as PS1 and PS2 games). Many of these legacy games use a keyboard (e.g. Final Fantasy XI for the PS2).

Sorry. It's design is quite limited. Check with PS3 support. Maybe there's a way around it.

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.

is not possible, sorry, this is a keyboard compatible with the ps3 system, if you play by emulation mode games of ps2 console not problem, but this keyboard you use only to write in messages and chat mode via ps3...

Yes, final fantasy 7, 9, and tactics all worked. You just need a ps1 memory card. Also psn controller analog does sticks do not work for those games.

From: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1981786?tstart=0 Kenichi Watanabe This helped meRe: PS/2 USB Converter; Will it Work with iMac G3? Apr 19, 2009 9:44 PM (in response to Nihongoking123) Adapters that make USB keyboards work with PS/2 ports are simple and common; they are just wired to change the shape of the connector. The USB keyboard just needs to be designed so it can work with those older ports (through that adapter). However, for PS/2 keyboards that were made before USB ports, they are not designed to work with USB. So I don't think it will work unless you have a more complex adapter... one that may need a driver. If it needs a driver, you will probably not get Mac compatibility, because Macs never used PS/2 ports. The older Mac serial ports were called ADB ports, and to use an older Mac (non-USB) keyboard on a Mac USB port, you have to get a special (non-simple) adapter called the Griffin iMate. So you would need something equivalent to the the iMate, except for PS/2 keyboards, that works on a Mac (with maybe a need for a Mac driver). If would be far easier to get a USB keyboard and USB mouse. Generic ones cost less that $10 for each, which is probably less than the cost of a Griffin iMate -type device. However, using Google, I did find devices like this one that claims Mac compatibility. http://www.usbgear.com/USBTO_PS2CONVERTER/ This is obviously not a simple $5 adapter, but this one adapter does connect both the PS/2 mouse and keyboard to one USB port, which will save you a port (just like with a REAL Mac USB keyboard and mouse). Various including Intel iMac, Power Mac G5, Pismo w/G4, Power Mac 8100 w/G3, Mac OS X (10.5.6), also Mac OS X 10.4.11, Mac OS X 10.3.9, and Mac OS 9.x

No support for keyboard wedge. Unless you have an adapter for usb to ps2 connection but it only comes standard with usb.

Thanks a lot for the info, so no other bluetooth adapter can be used with this keyboard but the dongle that comes with it, and you own this and use it with your PS3 and you say it can be paired to the PS3 to be used without the dongle plugged into the USB port, am I correct? Thank You.

2 of them work just fine for 2 player games!Only "issue" is that the button defaults are weird. This is the only controller I own where bottom-most button (B on this controller, X on a playstation controller) reads as the top-most button (X on this controller, Triangle on a playstation controller). Just be ready to redefine default controls and you're good to go!

Best answer I can give you is; you ever typed on a notebook/laptop? Myself, I find this KYBD "soft". I, like you consider myself hardcore typists having cut my teeth on a manual Royal some 55 years ago. At this moment typing your answer I am using an original IBM Mechanical [with springs] White and Red IBM Model M Clicky Keyboard but by no means utilizing legacy PC but a cutting edge custom built machine. If you are interested, here is the url &lt;&lt; www.clickkeyboards.com &gt;&gt; . I might add, this type KYBD is PS2 so if you are utilizing with a all USB system then you will need adaptor/convertor which are also available on the afore mentioned web site under Home &gt; ps2 keyboard to USB adapter converters &gt; ps2 to USB adapter converter for keyboards. I can honestly tell you this, I have not ever been more satisfied than with my IBM Model M whether gaming or working [coding, web design, AUTO CAD]. Good luck in your search.

It works with any software that uses a keyboard! :) I actually don't use mine for gaming at all, I have a tablet PC and use my N52 to run keyboard shortcuts since I can't access the regular keyboard in tablet mode. It works great, any keystroke or combination of keystrokes can be mapped to any button. This even includes typed sequences, like if you wanted a single keystroke that would fill in your name or address or something like that. The only difficulty is memorizing all the layouts you'll set up! LOLI'm currently using it with photoshop, painter and manga studio 3 and find it so useful that I'm using it even when I'm not in tablet mode! :) It works with any software that uses a keyboard! :) I actually don't use mine for gaming at all, I have a tablet PC and use my N52 to run keyboard shortcuts since I can't access the regular keyboard in tablet mode.

Unfortunately you can't use PS2 games on the PS3. It would be a huge selling point if you could though!

Works fine with my PS3 Slim. As per Logitech: All Logitech Harmony Adapters for Playstation 3 with PID higher than LZ922xx are not affected. I have a LZ932xx and it works like charm with the slim and Harmony One.

depends on the model as the first ones CECHA01 and CECHB01 (30 GB and 60 GB, and the 80GB Gear Metal Solid ed) had an extra chip for backward compatibility with ps and ps2 disks, the next gen did it by software emulation and mostly for some ps2 disks (and no problem with titles directly downloaded from the store) but the slim version and later are not backward compatible. If your old console (I have 3) has on its left side a cover for the memory stick, sd memory card and compact flash reader; and has 4 usb ports, then you can play with no problem your original ps one and 2 disks

I've used it in 1.1 and 2.0 ports, and it works on both. I can't remember whether I tried it on my laptop, which only has 3.0 ports. Since you don't really transfer data through a keyboard or mouse, I can't imagine that they'd build this thing with the higher speed capabilities of 2.0 or 3.0.I just saw your latest comment and realized how unhelpful my answer was.

I mostly use it on PC, but sometimes PS3 and I've never run into a game it doesn't "work" on. That being said, the L1 and L2 buttons are not very conveniently placed. If those buttons are used much for Disney Infinity, you might consider an arcade stick with an 8-button layout instead.

NO! I have two PS2 guitars I was hoping to use with my PS3. I tried several different games, and none of them worked properly. It's strange because two buttons work, but that's it.

I realy don't know I was just using it for PS3. Sorry I could not help you with my answer.

The USB adapter is for computers that do not have native bluetooth support. If you have a computer with a bluetooth receiver, then you do not need to use the adapter. I would assume that the keyboard will work just fine with your PS3.

I took this up with Logitech tech support (June 28, 2013). The first tech rep I spoke to said it's OK. When I got cut off mid-conversation, I called again, and was connected to another tech guy who wasn't sure. He spoke to the product specialist, who recommended against it. I got the impression that earlier versions were provided with adaptor capabilities, but the more recent version has not been tested (and is therefore not supported) for PS/2.
