How to use HHKB2 as PS3 controller?

[Carefoot]

Or any keyboard for that matter?  I want to play MK9 on keyboard keys for both PS3 and Xbox 360.

I've seen the Xim360 and similar XFPS devices but they also use mouse inputs I'm looking for strictly a keyboard to PS3 or 360.

Going to Evo this year I want to spook kids with my keyboard.

Thanks guys
edit:

Something like this but strictly for keyboards.
If its cheaper that too is a plus...

Edit 2:
This seems to be the cheapest thing that ships to Canada

All I know is you can't use the Apple Aluminum as a Sony PS3 bluetooth keyboard or I'd have one.

Licensed accessories are ****.

Isn't the PS3 native keyboard allowable? I've seen people post about being able to directly connect mice and keyboards on the USB ports and working.

This guy uses the HHKB Pro 2 for SF

So I'm sure it'll spook some people despite the fact most fighting games are digital and not analog control since it's non-existant since the joystick are just micro-switches or hall-effect.

Another thing you might want to check out is the Stickless hitbox, apparently the guy who made despite having a backlog is making them tri-modded so it can be used on PS3/360/PC.

It would actually be superior to the keyboard(plus a little less easier to lose especially with the price of the HHKB) for the lack of buttons so it would optimize your input and reduce the chance of hitting another adjacent key.

Only negative I guess is losing the use of the topre switch and having to utilize the large state plunger and microswitch. Shame they don't make a topre-capacitive switch for arcade buttons.

Not only have people become interested in this device but apparently the guy who runs it is a sponsor for a tournament and managed to get one of the pro-gamers to switch over from using a stick to the hitbox for the upcoming tournament.

I could only use my unicomp for chatting, I am not sure if it is supported at all for ingame play of mortal kombat.  Let me check if my realforce works ingame.  Then I will test SSF4 and see if it works.

Checked:
Doesn't work for MK.
Doesn't work for ssf4.

I think you would need a controller chip, maybe a Cthulhu(http://www.lizardlick.com/Toodles-Cthulhu-for-PCPS3_p_543.html) and wire it to the switches.

I got an XFPS 5 which works for 360/PS3 (I use both).

Main issue I'm having with MK9 on my HHKB2 is that the controls are a bit awkward.  I can't find a layout that makes sense.

I almost want to get a realforce just for some arrow keys.  WASD feels awful aleit its easy to remember to keep my fingers on the keys.

Using spacebar for block feels odd too.  Looking for a smart layout.

Can double bind keys with XFPS.

Any thoughts?
