Summary: The palm pilot keyboard
Review: Recently I purchased a palm pilot keyboard for my palm m125. I have only had it for a short period of time but I am finding it extremely useful. I am glad that I spent the money on it and would do it again if nessicary. I highly suggest to anyone who uses their palm to store a lot of information it is a whole heck of a lot easier to type than it is to master the graffiti writing.

Summary: Doesn't seem to work with my Palm i705...
Review: The driver came on a floppy; not much use to me and my iMac. So I fished around on the net, found the manufacturer's website (www.citipack.com.tw, not iConcepts) & downloaded the driver. After installing the driver, I have a keyboard app on my palm, but only a couple of the keys actually result in a character showing up on my palm (and they are incorrect). Guess I'll get the driver off the floppy and try again...

Summary: Great Keyboard!!! fantastic Deal!!!
Review: The only way to use this keyboard, I have found, is with one finger. Which defeats the whole purpose of buying a keyboard in the first place. Keys stick, or do not respond to your touch. It would be quicker to use grafitti entry. I've had the Targus keyboard with a different palm, and it worked great. The only problem was it was a bit expensive and a little bulky and heavy. This one is very trim and light and very inexpensive, but the drawbacks far outway those few good characteristics.

Summary: Small and light, but very awkward
Review: This keyboard is smaller and lighter than most others out there but there are two major design flaws: 1) The keyboard is split in two halves with about 2/3 inch gap in between, not a problem in and of itself, except that the keys YHN, which you would expect on the right side, are on the left. This is a real pain for touch typing. 2) The space bar (also in two halves) is just above the raised edge at the bottom of the unit preventing you from pushing the space bar instinctively with your thumb (unless you are double jointed) so I ended up having to use my index finger instead. Later: I recently bought the Logitech Typeaway keyboard which overcomes these design flaws while still being small and light! Keyboard has correct letter layout and bottom edge of the unit is hinged to lay flat allowing for comfortable use of the space bar with your thumb. Definately worth the extra few bucks!

Summary: Great Product!!!!!!!!!
Review: This keyboard works just as advertised. The price was the best out there. I do all my typing with this keyboard and it works great. If you are looking for a keyboard I would definetly recommend this one. It weighs close to nothing I keep it in my shirt pocket.

Summary: iConcepts Portable Keyboard review
Review: Very disappointed in this product. I have a Palm M130. The keyboard works, but you have to type very slowly and press the keys hard. Basically you can only type with one finger. I had in the past the Targus keyboard for a different Palm model, and although bulkier, it worked great compared to this. Since this is one of the cheapest portable keyboard, I'm reminded of the saying, "you get what you pay for".
