i just got the Dell Axim Executive keyboard w/ Bluetooth, my problem is when i tried to install the drivers on my X50 it told me that there was a corrupt/ invalid program file, so then i downloaded the drivers from dell and it gave me the same error message. i checked the compatability on dell and the x50 is listed as well as wm2003 which i have both so it should install. It also had the wm5 upgrade listed as compatable, should i upgrade (i've read about the problems though and want to try and get it to work w/ out doing that if possible). Does any one have the drivers that would work or know how to remedy the problem. thanks for your help.

I have the keyboard and it is awesome, you'll love it. Ya, the Dell site drivers don't work (another cheer for Dell's support...).

Thinkoutside.com (which is what the Dell keyboard is) has drivers for both WM2003SE and WM5.

Had similar problems as those before me; as instructed I performed a hard reset and installed the drivers from ThinkOutside. Works like a charm so far.

Are there drivers available ONLY for the keyboard, and not the keyboard/mouse? Everything I've downloaded so far includes both, and while I've managed to remove all traces of the mouse in the program files list, I would rather it not even be installed.

I believe the drivers come as a package like that, there is no real way around it.

My DELL X50V (German) was replaced and my Bluetooth Keyboard did not work anymore. Even after installing the latest driver of the DELL site. The error says that the Bueltooth was not recognized.

FOund this info about the THINKOUTSIDE.COM site.

Downloaded the Driver for the Keyboard (4,51) and ...WOWWWWWw functions right away.

THANKS for this Info

I bought a Bluetooth BK 600 keyboard from Bosity which was advertised as being compatible for my Dell Axim x51v.

I tried the od driver and the new upgraded one and both do not fully activate the keyboard.....ie some of the letters and numbers do not register and two others combine.

Do you suppose the drivers from the Thinkoutside Bluetooth keyboard would work or is there some other solution?

Cheers,
