Summary: Defective design
Review: This keyboard suffers from a mechancial design problem. I have a similar SKU 90190. It has not been working since I bought it.

It turns out that this keyboard was designed for the Handspring Visor, and they simply retrofitted it for a USB connection. No problem with that, except that its design made for very unreliable keystroke contact with the number 8 and with the letters u, i, and j. Well, what good is a keyboard with this kind of reliability?

I had to find out the cause of this unreliability, and by patching the underside of the keyboard with strips of thin plastic, I was able to compensate for the unevenness of the keyboard to finally, finally, make the keyboard work. Whew!

This keyboard is excellent, but only for a troubleshooting project. I thought it was Microsoft drivers at fault!

Also, you won't find this keyboard listed anywhere on Fellowes' website. Pretty convenient for Fellowes, huh?

To be fair, I could be dealing with a bad batch. But it makes me wonder why Fellowes isn't supporting this product on its website.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pretty good portable keyboard.
Review: This keyboard works with any PC that has USB ports. If you have ever used the Stowaway keyboards for Palm or PocketPC devices, then using this keyboard should not be a new experience. Oh by the way, this keyboard is on Fellowes website in their TabletPC accessories section.
