KB & Mouse combo for PS3 gaming?

I'm a total PS3 noob; we just bought the new 80GB version since the BF:BC demo was released. I can't get the hang of the PS3 wireless controllers. Is there a KB/mouse combo that can be used for the PS3 specifically for gaming? thanks all!

I could be wrong, but any USB mouse and KB should be recognized by ur PS3. I wouldn't know how to configure it for game play, but its worth a shot

Any USB moise and keyboard including the ones with the USB wireless dongles, just so you know. And also just so you know, I like saying the word 'dongle.'

These will work for games like BF:BC and CoD4?

I don't believe so. It depends on the game whether or not it can support mouse and keyboard controls

they need to make a simple hack program to map the ps3 controls (buttons etc) to a keyboard. Shouldn't be THAT hard i'm thinking. once something like that comes out, i'd been playing on my PS3 all the time for these types of games... not just on my PC.

you can use some of the PS3 controller buttons on the keyboard of Logitech's PS3 Mediaboard, but not all of them. I know there's a whole group of people that have messed with it to get it to recreate all the buttons, but I don't have all the details since I don't have a PS3 or care to find out.
