I am getting a X5 and wanted to get an external keyboard for it. The only problem is that I am a touch typist using the dvorak layout, so I need to get a keyboard whose driver will allow for that.

Does anyone know of a keyboard that will do that? Could those of you that have one, make a quick check of the software and let me know if any of the ones out there have the capability?

Thanks in advance.

InterKey Portable will turn any Pocket PC keyboard into a Dvorak keyboard.

Excellent. That is exactly the sort of thing that I was looking for.

Interestingly though, the only Axims that it shows as supporting are the X3xx series. I have noticed this with some of the keyboards I am looking at. Is it reasonable to assume that anything that will work with the X3 series will work with my X5?

Where do you see that?

My guess is that it would be dependant on the driver for the keyboard, which is why it list particular models of keyboards that it is compatible with.

Their website lists a bluetooth keyboard, so any bluetooth keyboard will work. I'm also going to guess that they are being conservative and only listing the keyboards that they've actually tested; other keyboards may possibly work.

I was looking at the compatible models list for interkey here:

It is not the first time that I have seen that though. Often times it will be for a product that otherwise brags of support for the X5.
