Best AnswerYes it does. First you have to unpair it from the device it was initially paired with. I.E. MacBook, PCs, etc. then simply go to the Settings tab of your PS3 then setup a new bluetooth device, pair it then voila! A bluetooth keyboard for your PS3.

Does it work with ipod touch 4G? I type very fast, but I'm shaky and useless with the touch pads. Or is there any keyboard that works for the ipopd?
I don't care if it's bluetooth, USB, or whatever to connect and as long as the buttons are buttons, not flat, virtual, touch-pad, I don't really care how small or big it is. Sure, I'd rather have something I can pack around, but I have a new ipod touch 4G and within 24 hours, it has nearly driven me mental with having to re-enter and re-type things. And I have REALLY small hands and fingertips.

Does it have usb ports like the wired keyboard?

Best AnswerNo. This is because the power required to support and transfer the information for USB devices would require more than the 2 AA batteries.

Does this use the same keyboard "skin" protector as the non-wireless Apple Keyboard?
Both keyboards look identical, the only difference is that one is wireless and the other is not. There are keyboard "skins" (protector covers) made for the non-wireless keyboard. I want to know if I can buy that same protector for this new wireless keyboard.

Does the apple wireless keyboard work in Hebrew?
I have an English/Hebrew Apple wireless keyboard. I need to know how to toggle between the languages?
- Asked by Gary K
- 10-Jun-2012
- Flag as inappropriate
AnswerIt depends what you are using the keyboard with? For instance I use it with an iPad 2 and found the easiest way to switch languages is to simply press the 'world' globe symbol after setting the second language as one of the other default languages. The symbol is to the left of the space bar on the on screen keyboard.
You can do the same thing with the wireless keyboard after mapping one of the spare keys, I'm sure it is the or same or very similar if using it with another apple product.- Answered by Jeremy H

Is there any report that these low-rise keyboards cause carpel tunnel?
I currently own the aluminum long keyboard and because of it I think I might have developed carpel tunnel.

AnswerCertainly not an expert, but - generally the problem is having your hands angled up (slouchy wrists with fingers higher), so I would think that any keyboard that flattened our your wrists at all (i.e. lower profile like these) would be better (unless you moved from some sort of proper erg-keyboard where your wrists are raised and your fingers pointed down).

Answer
You can buy a Bluetooth keyboard (wireless) along with your USB keyboard. I would recommend disconnecting one when using the other, but you don't have to. It shouldn't confuse your Mac.

Apple Bluetooth keyboard---special function keys for iPad 3?
I have seen a good answer to a question about getting a list of function keys for the Apple Bluetooth keyboard---but it seems to address only using the keyboard with a Mac (laptop). Is there a list of special function keys that work with an iPad 3? I am particularly interested in which special function keys (if any) there are that work with an iPad 3 that one could not find on a non-Apple keyboard (such as a Motorola wireless keyboard, that works fine with entering text such as letters, numbers, and symbols). In other words what---in terms of function or navigation keys---makes the Apple Bluetooth keyboard better than other Bluetooth keyboards?
