Laptop Keyboard instead of USB Keyboard

[Wyvern_64]

Is there a way to connect my laptop to my PS3 instead of just a USB keyboard?

The only USB cable I have is like this, would something like this work? Anyone try this before?

If you've got a VAIO, yes. Sony have made a simple bluetooth application. I use it with my laptop and PS3. Pretty sure there's a modified version floating out there, for any bluetooth compatible PC.

It's called Remote Keyboard for PS3

first one is just an extension, second is a regular usb cable.

USB keyboards are only 3 or 4 pounds in the UK, you can get something smaller for a bit more money (IT logic ). It's probably simpler, easier and cheaper than faffing with the laptop.

I've just bought one of these - http://www.ebuyer.com/product/222811

Bluetooth keyboard, which actually works rather well with the PS3. Still working out how to get the built-in mouse working though.

Never do that, you'll burn both USB ports.

I didn't want stuff lying all over the place in my family room (head set, controllers, gaming rig, etc) so I got a small keyboard to mount on the controller:
