Logitech has announced a new wireless keyboard and headset specifically for the PS3.

The keyboard sounds excellent: all special-function buttons are designed explicitly for the PS3, the piano black finish is a perfect aesthetic match, the built-in trackpad is ideal for mouse-less couch control, and the battery life sounds perfect. I’ve been planning to get a generic PC bluetooth keyboard for my PS3, but this sounds much better. List price of $80, scheduled for October in U.S and Europe.

However, the headset sounds a little less interesting. There are already a great range of bluetooth headsets to choose from. The announced list price is $80, which is high, although the street price is usually lower for headsets. Will this offer any distinct advantages over the competition? We shall see…

If anyone has used a wireless headset or keyboard with their PS3, speak up and let us know your recommendation.
