I'll join the chorus of praise for this keyboard -- it's very solid feeling. I had and liked the Stowaway for my Jornada 548, but it always felt like a compromise. It was great to have a full-sized keyboard that folded up into such a small footprint, but it gave the impression of being flimsy, the keys were unevenly responsive, etc. I have none of that with the Axim keyboard: when it's folded out, it's rock-steady and feels like you could pound on it all day. The case is much more protective than the Stowaway, too.
I only have two complaints. As others have noted, the right shift key is awkwardly placed. (The Palm driver for this keyboard, I read somewhere, allows exchanging the up-arrow and shift keys. I wish the PPC driver did, too, but I haven't found a way to do it.) The second is that it's kind of hard to mate the Axim with the keyboard connector. It's a tight fit, and the keyboard connector is movable (for folding purposes), so I find it a little dicey to get the Axim plugged in. Other than that, though, I'm really pleased with this keyboard and don't regret purchasing it one bit.
