Hey... I dunno if anyone has it yet, but I have two major questions about the Axim snap on keyboard. 1. What do the buttons feel like (because my bro has a tre, the buttons look to be the same size as the axim's but they are incredibly easy to type on due to the fact they are very solid) 2. How good is this... I want to use a keyboard for taking notes in class, keeping a schedule, and POSSIBLY SOMETIMES using it to edit and creat word documents.

~So if you could tell me about this or any other keyboards (preferably this kb) that fit my requirements thad be great :D

Just got mine from Dell.ca. They keys have great tactile feedback. Software can also adjust repeat rate etc. Best thumboard since the Blackberry. Highly recommended. The only problem is that Dell.ca does not list the keyboard as available.

If the part numbers are the same on the Canada site as they are on the US site, then you could call, give them the part number (310-2927), and order that way.

tonydina...

How did you order yours from dell.ca? I'd like to order one too but the US product # did not work. Was it on their website somewhere or did you do a phone order? I gather you ordered it with your axim but it took several months to get to you. I couldn't even find it on the US site.

Snap-On Keyboard User Update

I ordered the keyboard through the Phone sales group. Just tell them to look it up via their database. It is approx $49.00. I received the keyboard about a week ago and have mixed reviews.

All in all, I am happy with the performance of the keyboard. However, the keys are a little too tough for thumbing and I will occasionally miss a letter or two due to the response.

The most distressing part is the lack of the ability to create hotkeys. Although I installed the software and followed the user guide which says there is a tab to allow for this functionality to be set up, alas... there is not tab.

Anyway, it has been helpful with taking notes at meetings.

I called Dell Canada, I could not find the unit listed on their web site. Ordered 10 snapon keyboards. Dell gave me a $10 discount.

I find that the key response is excellant. You may have to adjust the key repeat rate to one's own preference, (Through the included software), after all we don't all type, or write in the same manner.

I just ordered 1 in the US, they said it would be in the warehouse March 3rd, Im not getting my Axim until the week after so Im fine with that. I called up and was all set within 2 minutes. Hopefully them shipping it will be just as simple and quick.

I sent my snap on keyboard to a company to have a custom case made for the Axim, the keyboard and a camera. It will be a bit long, actually very long. We will be using the the Axims in a commercial environment, so we need all the units protected as one.

Once I get the keyboard, or the other nine I ordered I will test the thye hotkeys features.

I'm not sure if you mean the case or the keyboard, but here is a picture of the keyboard.

What are the four buttons surrounding the Dell logo?
I have just the QWERTY area.

I think I may be calling Dell very soon.
