Summary: clever design, but layout of spacebar needs improvement
Review: I just received this keyboard for my palm t3 and it works great. however, there is just 1 issue that would make this perfect, at least for me. The spacebar could have been more centered than it's now. looking at the keyboard, there is really no reason why the "alt" key needs to be on the right of space bar, which is pushing the spacebar towards the left. if they had just put the "alt" key to the left, it would have been perfect as i noticed that tapping on the spacebar on the extreme right edge (due to the fact that it's left bias and I'm using my right thumb) sometimes misses the actual space character.

Summary: This keyboard rocks
Review: I'm in high school, and am not good with writing down notes, there is always too many papers. So I saw a different keyboard on the web and wanted to get it for my birthday. I had wanted a keyboard before, for when I go on trips and need a computer to type reports and so on. Well, it was the night before a trip and I had a report that was to determine my final grade due the day after I got home from the trip. I had gotten the project that day too. I couldnt get it online, so I went to staples and this was the only keyboard left. I was so frantic I bought it. And Im definetly glad I did. I use the keyboard for everything, and I can take it anywhere. I like the design the most, it fits inside everything, and is so easy to unfold, that and I've never had a problem with it and have had it for about 2 months now. I love this keyboard!

Summary: GAH!!!!
Review: If any of you value your sanity or life, stay AWAY!! I got this for Christmas. I was happy because my friend had one and it worked fine for him. Lucky for him, not for me. It didn't work with the drivers that came with it. I had to download the driver from Belkin's site to get it to even recognize that there was a keyboard there. Now, whenever I press a button once, it fills the entire screen with that key. WITH ONLY ONE PRESS. I figured that I might be missing something so I contacted their technical support. A week later I got an email saying I should just download the drivers from the site and not use the one that came with it. They won't take it back or anything, if I ever meet the president of Belkin.......

Summary: This keyboard rocks
Review: This full-size portable keyboard from Belkin has a very clever design. The keyboard is broken into three sections -- and the middle section rises up when the outer two sections are spread apart. They then click together - and remain rigid -- which is great for typing on one's lap like a notebook PC.

There's a full row of numbers across the top. And the space bar is unbroken (unlike the Palm Ultrathin keyboard which splits the space bar into two). The only gripe I have with the keyboard layout is the right shift key, which is very small and out to the right (just beyond the up/down and left/right navigation keys), which I sometimes miss-hit when I'm typing very quickly.

The unit is very compact when completely folded. It's not quite as thin (or as cool looking) as the new Palm Ultrathin keyboard, but it is much sleeker than the original Palm keyboard (which now seems clunky by comparison).

If you're looking for one keyboard to do it all -- have a real row of numbers and be extremely portable - this unit from Belkin is a very good choice!
