Does anyone know where I can get 1 to 4 thumb keyboards for the Axim model x30 / x3? We have about 4 of the x3's currently in use in our company, and I would like to try to switch over the the thumb keyboard, but I have been unsuccessful in locating ANY.

If anyone can point me to a vendor or hidden cache of these components, I wold appreciate some direction

Thanks much -

Gigi

If you can't find any of the original thumb keyboards, perhaps you could consider this generic one:

THUMB KEYBOARD FOR HP IPAQ/DELL AXIM X3/X3I/X30/X5/X50 - (eBay item 230179591837 end time Oct-19-07 08:40:00 PDT)

This reply is a bit late, but I read a not-so-complimentary review of this thumb keyboard including comments that the keys were difficult to press and the driver that came with the keyboard was not 100 percent accurate.

As alternate, albeit larger than a thumb keyboard, there is an IR fold out keyboard on eBay with a BIN of $36.99 currently available. I was just there and noted about 10 of them listed separately.

Thank you for your responses, I am still in search of the elusive thumb keyboard. Can anyone actually confirm or deny the existence of such a product? I have found keyboards for x50/51 - would anyone know if those would work?

Thanks, again

Yes, I have the x3/x30 thumb keyboard; I bought it last year or so from an online retail store...unfortunately they do not list it anymore. The x50/x51 connector is different than the x3/x30 connector, so any accessory that has to physically connect to either class of device would not work on the other class.

You could get FrogPads and use bluetooth, but they're as big as your devices and your people would have to learn a new one-hand typing system. They come in left and right handed versions.

Thanks much - would you happen to know the part number, so I can confirm I have the correct keyboard when I find it?

I appreciate it -

the teksoft keyboard software works well with the dell axim x30. Although i have small hands, i can thumb keys in without any hardware

(it comes with 5 different modes, you want mode 5)
