piKey v0.2 Released — PSP Keyboard Driver
greg | April 24, 2007
Update: After downgrading back to 3.03 OE-C, from 3.30 OE-A’, I am proud to say piKey 0.2 works flawlessly with my Palm Universal Wireless Keyboard!
The N00bz Team, Fanjita and harleyg, have released an update to their PSP keyboard driver — πKey! piKey aims at providing full keyboard control anywhere — games, homebrews, the XMB, etc… Supported are various infra-red keyboards.
v0.2 comes bundled with a series of fixes & additions; below are the major updates:
- A new keypress mode, which allows more natural use of the keyboard in action games etc. The default mode is now keypress mode, and the keyboard will switch automatically to text input mode when required.
- Custom key-to-button assignment - so now you can define WASD buttons for FPS game movement, as well as cursor keys for XMB movement, for instance.
- Support for mapping keypresses to analog joystick movements.
- Support for converting keypresses into Danzeff OSK presses - so now you can use your physical keyboard with homebrew that uses the Danzeff virtual keyboard - e.g. AFKIM.
- Installer now fixed to correctly install to flash0, to support GAME150 homebrew.
- Palm UW keyboard ought to at least partially work, but I can’t test it myself.
- Optional on-screen status information.
- Various minor bugfixes.
I can personally confirm the Palm Universal Keyboard still doesn’t function quite yet, on 3.30 OE, that is. :(
Ensure you read “readme.txt” & “docs/user_guide.html” for complete changelog history and instructions.

Go N00bz Team, Fanjita and harleyg,!!! Great Release!
why doesnt someone do this for wireless controllers, or even a usb controller with an adaptor. that would really extend the life of our psps when it comes to button masher games
this does not work with 3.40 oe.I miss it since upgrading.worked great on 3.10 oe everything locks up if vhs plugin is enabled and still no luck with browser.hope there is a fix or might hoave to downgrade back to 3.10 oe
its a cool idea the control idea..i mean…
some buttons on the psp just suck,if someone could come up with a usb controller that may be the coolest thing for plaing games on the psp…o yeah and something to to hold up the psp..
quick question: will any usb keyboard type work with this driver?
some one plz release 3.30 downgrader!
Great work N00bz, Fanjita & harleyg !!! N00bz as always open new roads for The
homebrew scene !!!!!!!! THANKS & keep up the great-great work :))))))))))
Shut up MS21 lol I’ll try this once I get my new PSP tommorow.
Cant get my IR thumb keyboard working with this. It detects it but my psp goes wild when on the XMB PSP on screen keybord. Maybe I need to get a compatable IR keyboard?
