I want to pick up the wireless keyboard for Rock Band 3 for Wii. In Australia, as far as I can tell, only EB Games has imported it, and it costs nearly $200AU for the pleasure.

Including shipping, it would only be about $100AU to order the keyboard from the States. However, PAL/NTSC compatibility and region-locking issues are making me uneasy in that regard.

Obviously, the game itself will be region locked (and I'll probably buy that here), but what about the peripherals?

  • I would have thought that the peripherals wouldn't have any region locking - but I have no evidence for this which is why I'm not suggesting it as an answer!

    I've been snooping around the forums and have found hands on experience that there is no problem for RB2 (lost the link for that one) and a pretty ardent claim that this is also the case for RB3 (rockband.com/forums/…). I won't post this as an answer as it's still not decisive, only convincing.

  • @Aubergine One thing that makes me nervous is that I have the feeling (with no particular evidence) that the Wii peripherals may be more region-locked than PS3/Xbox... Particularly given the versions that required a Wiimote to be installed into them to work...

    Well, since nobody seems to know, I decided to order it and see what happens. It's ordered, I guess I'm about to find out. :S

  • On the plus side, you'll be able to answer your own question and march mankind forward. I really hope it does work out for you, though.

It works!

(Caveat: Thus far I've only been playing on non-Pro easy mode, but if that's working fine I can't imagine that the other buttons are going to cause issues...)
