I got that one.... I havent mapped all the buttons, but I get it to work pretty well.... It's 2.4 GHz radio frequency with USB reciever (which isnt the best... Why arent there some USB ports on the back of the unit to make stuff like this cleaner looking?) It works well.... disigned to lay back on the couch and use it... mouse buttons on the corners... Real nice design. I had to turn the mouse sensativity on the PS3 to the lowest setting. And since I'm only on SD, the browser looks like crap so it's pretty unusable till I get HD. But it works. I just wish the XMB used it more... You still gotta click into an area before you can type... Like keyboards work, but it's not quite designed for them. You should just be able to highlight the area and type instead of how it works now. I expect a true PS3 bluetooth keyboard to come out someday... So I'm waiting for that. Likewise, I have the official BT remote so I use that for everything except gaming. They did a nice job with that. my only complain is the chapter skip buttons are right next to the search and skip buttons... So it's easy to accidentally rewind the whole chapter instead of a few seconds when you miss whatever they just said in the move. (I do it all the time in the dark)

Have any of you guys used this with games? Is it possible? If it is I rather pick this up and skip the FragFX controller.

Mine doesnt work like that in game.... (It's not blue tooth)... But that fragFX controller is more to give you mouse precision in FPS games...

Only if the game has ketboard functionality built into it. Except for save & load screens and such, anywhere where you see the XMB style font pop up in a game you can use a KB. Not many games support keyboard use yet though. As far as mapping, I wanted to know if there was a way, that list I posted is just the corresponding functions as far as I've noticed. If anyone knew a way to map buttons that would be awesome, I wouldn't need a Sixaxis next to me to use the web browser while controlling music say. Things like L& R1, 2, & 3 and the start button mapped to keyboard keys would make the KB the only tihng necessary for good web browsing (and an upgraded web browser >.>). Not so bad with a mouse since you have a PS button on it (wheel click) but still no way to zoom in and out (missing shoulder button functions) so you still need a sixaxis next to you. And I want to web browse with as little as possible, plenty of keys on the keyboard, hopefully it will see improved functionality in the future.
