PROS:-cheaper than dualshock 3 with same features-keypad (with arrow keys and caps lock) works like normal keyboard-Firm analog sticks (good retention)-strong D-pad (does not make clicking sounds, firm but not too firm)-rumble and sixaxis support-receiver comes with two USB ports-grips on sides-finger grooves underneath-concave triggers-rechargeable integrated battery-solid build quality (does not feel cheap)CONS:-included cable is short-small dead zone on sticks (novice players won't notice; only matters with shooting games)-exclamation point (!) is strangely absent from keypad

Very Good Controller with a Decent Keyboard for Convenience!
By David Baltazar
As just a casual PS3 user, I bought the wireless Icon controller with built in keyboard mainly for typing text on internet applications & to input data on some game menus as it is sometimes very tedious to type any kind of text on a standard, Playstation controller . As all aftermarket controllers for PS3, a USB dongle must be used, but the included dongle also has two additional USB ports. If you are using the Playstation Eye like I am for my Move Controllers, the Eye Camera will not work if its cable is plugged into the Icon controller dongle USB ports. The Playstation Eye Camera must be plugged straight into the PS3 USB.The overall size of the controller is almost identical to the Sony PS3 controller, so all of the buttons are positioned identically to the Sony controller and it ergonomically feels the same. Only the "start" & "select" buttons are positioned slightly differently in which they are positioned above the keyboard on the Icon controller. I also like the fact that there are rubberized grips on the lower left & right sides of the Icon controller that makes it more comfortable for your hands in comparison to the stock, Sony wireless controller that is plastic only. I noticed this when I used the Icon controller many times & switched to the Sony controller to play one game to discover how uncomfortable the stock Sony controller felt without the rubberized grips. After I finished the game, I switched back to the Icon controller because it was more comfortable to use with my hands than the stock, Sony controller.Although the keyboard works very fine, my only complaint is it is very small like the slide-out keyboards on mobile smart phones. I can type with it fairly easily because I have small fingers, but it might not be as comfortable to other users.Overall, a great controller and in fact many times I'm using it as the main controller for my PS3 instead of the stock, Sony wireless controller. Recommended!
