Something like this:
-Name of keyboard (Brand)
-Price (list the dealer if you can find it lower than normal price)
-Compatible/Incompatible
-Connectivity (BT, IR, etc)
-Number row (yes/no)
-Other features
-General experience
I don't know if a thread like this has already been made but I didn't see a sticky. I'm hoping a sticky could be made out of this later or something.

Targus PA870u (v2.0)
price approx $60
IR
number row which has slightly smaller keys than the letter keys by 1/2
uses 2 lithium 3V "watch" batteries
has a lock mechanism
has a semi mouse like pad and programmable buttons
my only problem with it is that the space bar is cut in half for the folding mechanism and that is usually where I hit the space bar. It just takes some getting used to.
Tragus needs the most updated driver for the axim and they officially say that they don't support the keyboard. I have found that Targus support doesn't even know what thier product can do most of the time. e.g. they say that it can't support hebrew, but it does.
good consrtuction and good key feel (subjective)
I am happy with it. and it is good because I used it for my Sony Clie beforehand so I was able to carry one whole accessory over to my new axim!!! Who knows - maybe even the next one (i know, i know - don't push it!:) )
