News \ MadCatz answer to 360’s Chatpad
For those that have not seen this PS3 accessory this is the MadCatz Thumbpad. MadCatz have been around for a while and have manufactured accessories for a number of gaming systems over time, I guess many PS3 owners have been envious of the added convenience the Xbox 360 Chat pad provides so MadCatz have combated this by releasing their own version of a plug in mini keyboard for the Sixaxis controller.
MadCatz Thumbpad Main Features
- Functional multi-key QWERTY interface
- Enhances in-game messaging capabilities
- Convenient clip-on design
- Fully compatible with PS3’s web browsing functions
- Plug and play technology
- All PS3 controller buttons still accessible
- Removable clamp increases versatility
So if you want to use the PS3 web browser and the XMB messaging system all at your finger tips then this accessory may be of interest to you, all we need now is the ability to send messages during game play without having to return back to the menu system and we’ll be set.

I'm all for something like this, if it works good. To me, the ability to lounge around without a large keyboard floating on your lap while playing games, or even surfing the net is what consoles are all about. Great idea....I wonder if it can hook up to the FragFX controller?

Hmm, the odds of all of them to be faulty is hopefully not very high, but maybe it would be best just to get a keyboard. lol

I think having it on the top of the controller would be pretty damn uncomfortable But who knows, it might work

That would be really handy to have. We all agree that using th control to type is a pain.

Nice, that would be really helpful, it takes forever just writing a sentence with the controller, but i bet it would b pretty expensive.
