Revainrating 2 out of 5

No, it's not a mouse.

#1 Problem: This keyboard's main advantage over the competition was the rotary knob in the top right corner. It turns out he's typing arrow keys. It does NOT emulate a mouse. If I had known that, I would not have gotten it. Problem #2: Flat, square keys make it very easy to hit the keyboard with greasy fingers. My fingers are rather thin for a man, but I still have to watch and type carefully to avoid pressing unnecessary keys. It doesn't get much better than wasting time by simply putting your DS4 aside and using a full-size KB. Domed or round/oval keys would avoid this problem. #3 Problem: I thought it was backlit. No, that is not so. It probably helps with battery life, but the buttons are harder to see. #4 Problem: The Shift key on just one side means you have to hold down the Shift key with your left thumb and reach it all the way if you want the key on that side to be all caps. Keyboard using right thumb to type that key (e.g. Q,A,Z,W,S,X) #5 Problem: The F and J keys don't have bumps so you can find the keys without looking be able. But as I mentioned above, you should still try to avoid fat fingers. I am using my DS4 and this KB to play PC games although none of the above issues are affected. It worked for connecting to a PC. ok the first time but at some point the connection got lost and i couldn't reconnect. I ended up unplugging the device and rebooting before I could reconnect. Even then it took a few tries because you get a long code number to enter and you only have 30 seconds. But it also took a few of those seconds to initially connect. Then type slowly so you don't hit the keys with fat fingers. I really had to hurry to set everything up. It's functional, nothing is broken or broken, but all these issues make it unplayable, at least for me.

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
Cons
  • Makes me nervous
