REVIEW: DELL External Foldable Keyboard for Axim

DELL External Foldable Keyboard for Axim Review
Daximx5 has submitted a review article for DELL's own External Foldable Keyboard.

If you use Axim a lot for working with documents and sending/receving emails, then an external keyboard is a must have. I am pretty good with Fitaly but I will never be able to tap as fast as when I use full-size keyboard. Even if a full-sized keyboard is not yet available for Axim, these external keyboard will certainly give more productivity than software solutions.

I have it and like it a lot. I bought my Axim as a bundle with this keyboard. I have almost no regrets. I was really surprised at how usable it is. The quality is very good. I wouldn't mind something a little smaller when folded up but I can touch type quite well when it is open. I don't know that I'd spend $100 for it but now that I have it, I am sure not going to sell it! It's a better keyboard than many laptops. Yes the landscape mode would be nice but not necessary for me.

I have it, and have to say it's good EXCEPT:

The right hand "shift" key is in the wrong place (or should I say the up arrow is in the wrong place).

If you're a "touch typist" you may have troubles--the keys are not where your fingers expect them to be (and are even different from Dell laptops--I have an x200 laptop, and the Axim keys are different).

What's this mean? It means you always have to be sure you take the time to NOT hit the up arrow key...a slight inconvenience. Other than that, the keyboard pretty much means I can leave my laptop in the office and take the Ax and the keyboard to meetings.

Now if they'd only fix that key position....
