I've been playing FFXI on ps3. I saw a wireless keypad that attaches to the controller. Will it work on FFXI?

If you mean for typing, yeah it should.. If you mean working for controlling your character, I highly doubt it.

If it's anything like the Xbox counterpart, yes.

Oh just as a warning, as I had one, you'll find having the thing attached to the controller is more annoying then convenient, I had the offical PS3 one, and it got in the way of using the R1 and L1 buttons sometimes, it also throws the weight balance of the controller off, not so bad for games like Final Fantasy, but racing and FPS games, it did negatively effect my performance.

Well it works on the Ps3, but when I'm logged in on FFXI, nothing works. Is there something I need to download, or what?

Shouldn't have to, what model is this?

Trust me, you're better off, I ended up just tossing the wireless one aside and never touching it, and using my USB keyboard instead. I wanted the wireless one as it's not exactly convenient to put a full sized keyboard in my lap as the room is set up, but overall, the lesser of the two evils was the USB.

Ingame config I've tried on both keyboard types. Nothing.
Hmm just buy a regular wireless keyboard I guess. >.>

The keypad, not your firmware.. Is it the offical PS3 keypad?

Okay, so upon some googling, it appears that the bluetooth keypads won't work with FFXI, it stems from the fact that FFXI is a PS2 game, and doesn't recognize bluetooth devices, or something like that..

See here and here.
