How to Edit PS3 Keys

PlayStation 3 consoles aren't manufactured with a native setting that enables you to edit the function that is assigned to a key by default. However, a third-party application called Rogero PS3 Buttons Layout Changer can be used to accomplish this task. This application can specially be useful to people who have a Japanese version of the PS3 console, which assigns the "Enter" function to the "O" key and the "Back" function to the "X" key, the opposite of the layout for the PS3 developed for the United States. To edit the PS3 keys, you must download this freeware and install it in your PS3.
