 love it.. bit of advice March 26, 2010
Carlo V Santiago (San Francisco, CA)
I love this product for the Palm TX. Works pretty much right out of the box on one triple A battery. Just have to install prc file from the disk.
Word of advice on the reflective mirror. I found that it was just too small to use easily. Cover a business card with aluminum foil and tape it to the attached mirror. Works so much better now and folds back up just the same. Range is probably less than five inches, so you really won't want to fuss too much on how the mirror is angled. Hence, make the mirror a little bigger.
I haven't found a keyboard shortcut for checking the battery power, but that's really a very minor problem.
A good investment! August 20, 2009

I became an HP IPAQ 4150 PDA owner about two weeks ago. I had a Palm Tungsten E2 for nearly 3 years but it stopped working for some odd reason. I had purchased the Targus universal wireless keyboard to use with my Palm PDA. However, the Targus universal wireless keyboard did not work very well the HP IPAQ 4150 PDA. So, I purchased the Belkin Universal Wireless keyboard. It worked superbly! The setup is very simple and quick. I inserted the battery and held down both shift keys while I moved the keyboard around slowly so a signal could be picked up. One the signal was picked up (a pink arrow showed up on the lower right had side of my PDA) I started typing up my paper. I actually like the feel of the keyboard as well. The stand may seem a bit flimsy or weak but I really like it and like anything delicate just handle it with care. :-) Overall, this product has pretty much reached my expectations. I really hope this review helps those who are looking for a wireless keyboard at a very good price with fair to excellent quality. Not sure about the screen rotation part of the software since I do not need to use it.
Okay, but not phenomenal February 8, 2008
Erin Blubaugh (Concord, California)
The install went well, but it took me a little while to get my pda to work with the keyboard. I have a Pharos Traveler 535e with a side IR port, so I have to turn my unit sideways & adjust the orientation to landscape to work. The major issue I'm having is that I don't have petite hands. I had a Targus before, which was comfortable and commodious, but the Belkin is a little small for my taste. I find it funny that both keyboards fold up to a very similar size, given the space the Targus offers.
Also, I liked that when I attached my Targus to my old iPAQ 3765, it worked automatically. The Belkin has to be turned on and off through the pda, which is a little more time consuming if you have an idea to get down right away. The plus on the Belkin, I think, is that it takes a battery, whereas the Targus works off the pda battery. That never really was a problem for me, though.
Keyboard for PDA May 18, 2007

This item was exactly what I needed for my PDA. It worked easily with little setup. The price was great for this item.
 Never worked September 15, 2006
Erin N. Blackwell (USA)
Software installed fine, but the keyboard never worked properly. Half the keys on the first one wouldn't work. Tech support first blamed me, saying I didn't install the driver right. Then after sitting on the phone with me step by step, they conceded it wasn't my fault and told me the board was defective. I exchanged it and that one would't work at all. After installing this software 10 times and pulling every trick I can find, I'm giving up.
