Wireless Keypad... Y U No Work?!

Tutorials are kinda my thing.  Whether it be a written or a video tutorial I like trying to help out a community whether it be on YouTube, my Facebook friends or you ever so goofy looking people here on -Hacks.

Today I'm just throwing down a short tutorial for something that is actually answered in the instruction manual of the accessory myself.  At first it didn't seem worth the effort, but when I saw a large assortment of people who didn't RTFM I thought maybe I should educate some people.

The accessory in question that you may or may not own is the official PS3 Wireless Keypad (if you don't own it then here is a picture letting you know how I feel about bringing you here for no reason).

Now for those of you who are still sitting cross legged and listening intently, I am here to help you fix or configure the touch sensitivity of your keypad.  If you haven't done this fix and you've tried to use it, you will have been greeted with a cursor going everywhere but where you want it to.  OK!  Time for the important part.

1. Turn your PS3 on (duuhhh) and start the internet browser.

2. Connect your wireless PS3 keypad.  Once connected turn on the wireless feature.

3. Hold the red and blue shoulder buttons on the keypad down simultaneously until the touch button flashes.

Once you have done all this, your cursor will no longer move as if it is following a conductor's baton.  If for some reason you are incapable of following all of these steps to the letter, I made a video of it too.
