PDA keyboards

#1 (**permalink**) 17-05-2004, 07:03 PM

Anybody got ideas about a good PDA Keyboard? I've just bought an Otterbox Armor 3600 , link below,(if you need a case that's everything proof, just buy it) and there's a Serial POD Kit available which would allow the use of a non-wireless keyboard as the wireless probably wouldn't work anyhow. There seems to be alot of problems regarding connection/compatibility/drivers, way over my head. As for bluetooth, I've only seen one that ain't exactly portable. Any help would help.

I've been using the Flexis keyboard which is excellent IMO as its very easy to use and store and works with Palm and IPAQ models

That was one I had in mind as I am out and about alot, on an open boat, but generally out in bad weather. When it's rolled up what size is it?

I will have a look when am back in the office, am sure it will not be that big, but you never know.

When rolled up its about 5 inches by 2 .5 inches approx. The bonus is its waterproof although I haven't gotten mine wet yet.

What's the warranty like? I would just be slightly worried with all that rolling that it might break sometime. What's it like to type on, speed and response?

It is covered by a standard 12 month waranty. I won't say it's easy to type on at first because it is a bit weird due to it being made entirely of rubber but after a bit of use I soon got used to it.
