Bluetooth keyboard with PS3

Does anyone have any idea if an Apple bluetooth keyboard will work with a PS3? I'm tired of typing with a controller.

Dell XPS, Windows XP, 2.8 GHz Intel Pentium 4 Processor with HT, 2.5 GB RAM, nVidia GeForce 7800 GS.

This behavior is exactly same between Apple BT kbd and Windows Mobile..
Which means something is missing with Apple BT stack.
No problem with stowaway foldable kbd with WM, I think you guys try out that foldable.

Here's my setup;
Apple BT keyboard (Firmware Version: 320)
Apple wireless MightyMouse (Firmware Version: 512)
60GB PlayStation 3 (CECHA01, Dec/06) with firmware 2.5.2

The PS3 was able to registered (paired) both of my keyboard and mouse, but the lack of mouse cursor was pretty weird. Right-click acted as the 'triangle' button. Anyway, I powered the PS3 by using the DualShock 3 controller and left the keyboard and mouse untouched.

Powered it back up with the same DualShock 3 controller, however the keyboard an mouse weren't able to interact with the PS3. I went back to the manage bluetooth device menu and noticed both my keyboard and mouse profiles were listed, but as inactive. I hit the 'triangle' button on my DualShock 3 and connect the mouse. The mouse worked, but wasn't able to perform the same method with the keyboard.

I decided to stop here.
