Best Answer
Apart from the official PS3 wireless keyboard, every other keyboard I have investigated appears to lack full support for PS3 specific buttons (R1, R2, L1, L2, Triange, Circle, Square, Cross, Select, Start, PS).
The best of the bunch in my opinion is the Logitech DiNovo Mini keyboard. It isn't cheap but is beautifully made, has cool LEDs, great battery life and the keyboard/trackpad is excellent. Although not designed specifically for the PS3, it does have a PS3 switch that remaps some of the keys to be PS3 orientated. (i.e. Cross = Enter, Circle = Esc, Triangle = Fn + OK, PS button = MS logo etc).
Once the keyboard has been paired with the PS3 it works instantly. If I want to type something, I flip up the lid of the DiNovo and just start typing.
