Now things are finally up and running again focus can return to doing what you love with your console and thanks to Hyperkin it can be all the more convenient.

With Hyperkin’s PS3 Remotext users are capable of playing games, watching Blu-ray movies and typing all with one controller. The most defining feature of this device is its slide-out QWERTY keypad. It’s conveniently positioned so typing is made easier and doesn’t interfere with its other features.

The gaming controls take on the same layout as the usual Dualshock 3 pad except there doesn’t seem to be any trigger buttons on the back. When the keypad is not out the remote has Blu-ray player functionality, with all the buttons you’d expect on a Blu-ray player remote.

The Remotext is rechargeable and uses a wireless USB receiver to communicate with the PS3. It’s due to debut at E3, in the meantime you can check out Engadget where they have a ful press release for more details on the controller.

What do you think of the device? Will you be getting one?

If so we have a great product to tell you about which increases the handheld’s battery life, this is called the Hyperkin 3DS Powerplus.

If you attach the Powerplus to your 3DS you will get double the battery life thanks to an additional 1800mAH battery, if you are worried about it being bulky and intrusive you don’t have to worry it allows access to all the ports etc, also it weighs just 2.2oz and is just 1/4″ thick.

The battery inside the 3DS has a capacity of 1300mAH therefore the extra 1800mAH will be a welcome addition, the Powerplus has its own LED indicatior letting you know how much battery life is left, also its design gives the 3DS a bit of extra grip.

We have embedded a picture of the Hyperkin 3DS Powerplus below, as you can see it does add a little extra bulk, however it is a small compromise for all the extra gaming time you will get.

Apparently the Hyperkin 3DS Powerplus will cost just $19.99 when it launches this summer, you can find out more about this 3DS accessory over at WiiNintendo.net. Will you be buying the Powerplus?
