Rock Band 3 Wireless Keyboard for PlayStation 3

Great addition to our Rock Band set. This item was brand new and came ready to use out of the box. Would definitely buy again.

The keyboard is pretty lame overall. It is a little fun on pro, but if you are doing that, buy a real one (cliche I know).

Kids love Rock Band so I wasnt shocked about the enjoyment the addition instrument would be, now all 5 of us of the family can jam together.

I purchased the RB3 keyboard for the holidays to have fun with family and friends. The overall reaction from all the folks that played the keyboard was to drop out the instrument and grab the guitar or the bass.

New in box, unpacked and it works great.

Bought it as a gift. I believe it works very well

Works well. Kids enjoy.

I purchased the Rock Band 3 Wireless Keyboard for the PS3 a month ago. As with all PS3 wireless controllers installation is instantaneous. In this case, simply plug the dongle into the PS3, put the batteries (conveniently supplied with the controller) in the back of the keyboard controller and it just works. As a lifelong piano and keyboards player myself, I was keen to explore the Pro Keys mode in Rock Band 3 immediately. Once Id callibrated the controller with my A/V setup I was pleasantly surprised at how accurate the keyboard is. The Pro modes in RB3 demand some pretty accurate playing and the keyboard controller gave me great results right out of the gate. The keys are completely unweighted, which has its pros and cons I suppose. On the plus side the keys are effortless to play, whether youre a child, a teen or an adult. I did notice myself accidentally activating the notes when simply resting my hand on the keys, but its a very minor point against what is an otherwise brilliant device that adds a huge new dimension to the Rock Band dynamic. Recently I had my son on the drums, a couple of mates on guitars, wife and daughter on vocals and me on keys and it was a huge amount of fun. The touch sensitive ribbon controller on the arm of the keyboard works really well. Its used in RB3 to add sonic effects like wah-wah and resonance to the keyboard parts as youre playing them. I was debating whether to wait for the MIDI interface so that I could use one of my own (very expensive) keyboards in the game. But having used the controller for a few weeks Im very glad I bought it. The controllers convenient size (about 50cm long) means that it can be easily stored away in a drawer or cupboard - something you wouldnt really want to do with a full size MIDI keyboard. If youre not a keyboard player, the basic mode uses five adjacent notes in the centre of the keyboard for the five colour symbols onscreen. You get the benefit of some farely complex keyboard accompanyments in an easy-to-keep-up playing mode. If you have any interest in playing keyboards in Rock Band, I wont hesitate to recommend this product as a good value, good quality and hugely fun addition to your Rock Band setup.

Was fun to use but got really boring to use after a while

With the game 2 weeks away from release, the fervor that its generating is at its peak as evidenced by the fact that Amazon is sold out of the keyboard (as of 10/12/2010 anyway).
