How to Use Keyboard Shortcuts on a PS3 Controller

The PlayStation 3 (PS3) gaming console lets you browse the Internet as well as play games. To make your browsing easier, the PS3 comes with a preprogrammed set of keyboard shortcuts. While the console also lets you hook up a keyboard to make for more convenient Web surfing, you can surf using simply the PS3 controller by entering the equivalent of the keyboard shortcuts. You can make these keyboard shortcut combinations by pressing the buttons on your PS3 controller device.
