I use it with my snap on keyboard.

Add the this to the bottom of the skin.txt file of the skin you're using:
Code:
;Axim buttons
VKHWBUTTON 202 FIRE
VKHWBUTTON 134 OPEN

;Snap on keyboard
VKHWBUTTON 87 WEAPON_2
VKHWBUTTON 69 WEAPON_3
VKHWBUTTON 82 WEAPON_4
VKHWBUTTON 84 WEAPON_5
VKHWBUTTON 89 WEAPON_6
VKHWBUTTON 85 WEAPON_7
I haven't gotten the arrow keys to work correctly, so I just use the D-Pad on the Axim. Ctrl works by default as the fire button (though it seems to fire twice), space works as open by default, and the codes above make hitting the numbers of the top keys 2-7 bring up weapons. 1 is not mapped, since it's such a rarely used weapon, and the the fact it doesn't let you enter the IDDQD cheat code if it's mapped.

Note to those using landscape mode: the ";Axim buttons" section (the two lines underneath it) map record to fire and scroll-in to open on the X5, makes playing it in landscape a bit easier.
