Hello all. My first post and of course with some help needed.

Trying to decide about a hardware purchase for my X30H, keyboard (low end one that docks not the bluetooth) or Belkin SnapNType.

I like the Belkin simply for the better mobility it would have for me. I also like the price better.

Anyway, Is either option good for using with emulators for gaming? (possibly also for PocketPC games) I just cannot get used to the d-pad and buttons in any Mario style game or the like. Even some games like Military Madness are driving me nuts.


Thanks a bunch!

Welcome to Aximsite, go for Bluetooth keyboard if possible as BT has a better range and you don't have to have the two IR port facing each other.

Thanks for the reply. I hope I hit the right forum with my initial post. Looking about this seemed the best place since it was hardware related.

I'd like the BT keyboard but it's a bit pricey for me right now.

The other Dell foldable keyboard and the Belkin SnapNType connect to the X30's docking port. So I won't be able to use the screen in portrait mode with either but that doesn't bother me as much as not being able to play some games a bit better when I feel the need. Again mainly emulators, NES, SNES, Genesis, GB, GBA, Amiga, possibly a little Atari. Then maybe a little PocketPC made games, but not near as important right now if ever at least for me.

So my the main question remains, Minus which keyboard I select, Does anyone know or can confirm how useable the keyboard is as a controller for emulators and games out there?

So no one here uses a keyboard for controlling emulators/games?


Could a MOD possibly move this thread as well? I do see now this really should have went to the Hardware Discussions section and not Hardware Trouble. Thank you.
