PS3 Keypad a Gimmick?
Sony recently announced their answer to the 360’s messenger pad but where Microsoft got it so right, Sony seem to have got it so wrong.
The simple fact of having the Chatpad on top instead of below defeats the whole point of the idea. I bet Sony are kicking themselves after not including an input on the bottom of the SIXAXIS/DuelShock controller.
The reason why the 360’s Chatpad works so well is because it is placed directly by your thumbs meaning all you have to do is move your thumbs off the Analog Sticks and onto the pad; as if you were texting.
The PS3 version requires you to move your entire hand position if the images are in fact the final product which is going to seriously hinder the keypads fluid integration with gaming and messaging.
Whilst the mouse input seems like a good idea, it is essentially a gimmick. How will you be able to use it? You will be typing and holding the Controller which cannot be placed on a surface as it isn’t flat.

How can anyone in sony's offices think it's a good idea having the keypad above? It's all good and well trying to be different from microsoft's efforts, but you can't alter a fundementally good design feature. It's like saying "The xbox 360 has analogue sticks... let's get rid of them for the PS3!".
