Alright.... I am now ready to undertake the ask of buying a KB for my Axim. I have looked around the forum and the site, and everyone just seems to give mixed reviews. Here are a few fundamental questions I have:

- Regarding IR keyboards, are they just as fast as normal KB's? Is there ANY lag whatsoever? I am an extremely fast typist, and so if the KB can't keep up with about 140 words per minute, then I won't be able to stand using it for more than 5 minutes, haha.

- Regarding IR keyboards, how long will the battery last? Assume "heavy" usage on a daily basis.

- The review on this website for the Dell KB is less than dazzling. Does the Dell KB really somehow slow down after a certain period of time? Has anyone run in to this problem?

- Overall.... which keyboard is the best, basically? I don't think I am willing to spend the money for a BT KB.... unless someone says that are the best.
