Can you play PS3 games with a keyboard and mouse?

I'm thinking games like COD, Killzone, Resistance, MGS4, heavenly sword, GTA4, dead space, etc.

I just think the games have no programming for keyboard and mouse. Just like some games for the PC have no controller support. So unless you could map the controls manually, it looks like a no-go.

I hope not!
Controller games are NOT supposed to be played by KB/Mouse.
Playing on a console with KB/M is like cheating compared to those who play the game how it was meant to.

Its doable, but you need an adapter for 360. That is a video of one being tested. From what ive heard its mouse has a strange feeling to it.

I heard that some of the PS3 games are USB mouse and KB compatible. You have to use USB devices, and only a few games are supported I believe.

UT3 has keyboard and mouse enabled...

only enabled games allow u to use key/mouse since Sony and Microsoft want consoles to be away from PC as much as possible

Yes.

This will do the job.

And as for wired KB and Mouse on the PS3: I did try briefly, but I still could not find a way (in truth I did not try very hard).

The Xfps does not work very well, it is defiantly nothing like using a mouse on the pc. They are available for the ps3 as well as the 360 though.

The only game I know of that natively supports kb and mouse for the ps3 is UT3.
