Summary: oh dear
Review: not bad, although not for touch typists. Biggest failing is inability to connect ipaq with expansion sleeve connected, as per other reviewer. Just has to go back to the store for that reason. I thought I might be able to 'adjust' it, but nothing doing.... Shame really 'cause for the price against the Targus, it could be a great alternative

Summary: Lost....
Review: Shortly after I purchased this keyboard I installed it and used it briefly. The next time I tried to use it it failed to work, and when I try to use the "keyboard.exe" to initialize it fails to recognize it and it generates an error. When it worked it was too small for normal typing but a lot better than the on-screen keyboard. I can't even remove the drivers for it.

Summary: dissapointed
Review: The keyboard was a dissapointment. The iPAQ PDA fits the keyboard but not with an expansion pack installed so it can't be used with accessories like a modem or network adapter. It can't be used for email in a hotel room. I had to take it back.

Summary: economical solution to screen taps
Review: This keyboard has a great price with some compromises. It's larger than the one sold by Compaq and the keys are sticky and don't click. You can't use it with the expansion pack attached. Also, the documentation wasn't the greatest. I'm not sure it will be compatible with Pocket PC 2002.

On the other hand, when folded, it's smaller than my iPaq. It didn't use a lot of power and the keys were negotiable.

I bought this keyboard because I was on my way to Callifornia and wanted to take only my iPaq. It was worth it to have the keyboard - editing my papers was easier. I will probably buy a full size keyboard in the future, but now I can wait for the price to come down.

I don't recommend this product if you like the click of a traditional keyboard. Otherwise it's good if you're flexible and economics are an issue.

Summary: Great Keyboard!!! Works fine
Review: This keyboard has made my life so much easier. I used to use my stylus all the time now you cant get me to use the stylus. The keys are just fine and I dont have any problems with them regardless of previous review. I use this on the plane and everyone around me just praises the size and the weight. My advice this is worth it for the price and the convienence.

Summary: You get what you pay for.
Review: This keyboard is a major disappointment. The keys are rubbery with no tactile feedback whatsoever. Some keys require more pressure than others. If you're a touch typist, get the Targus stowaway instead. Over twice the price but there's no comparison. The split on this keyboard places the "H" key on the left side making it a long reach. Also the plastic ridge on the leading edge makes for an uncomfortable typing position as hitting the spacebar requires reaching over the lip. The connector and stand for the iPAQ is flimsy. I'd rather use the on screen keyboard or transcriber instead of this product.
