I think there are plenty of folks that have. I have the Thinkouside Stowaway (Dell branded) keyboard and the TO stowaway travel mouse and they both work great with the x50v. I use the drivers off of the TO website as they seem to work better than the Dell ones

I can use both at the same time and I can use them to surf the web as well.

YES!!!
I have the Dell branded Think Outside BT keyboard for my x51v. It works great for me. No problem setting up the BT profile. I like the shortcuts build into the keyboard. I can type just like my normal keyboard at work or home.
The one at the Think Outside site is $149; however, the model they made specially for Dell is $99. I don't know exactly what the difference is. I know the one on the Think Outside site is compatible with any BT device. I'm not sure about the one they made for Dell, but to me that doesn't matter because I will only use it for my x51v. Also, the Dell branded keyboard doesn't come with a case like the one from the Think Outside site. Physically, both keyboards are exactly the same; with exception that the Dell branded keyboard is black/silver to match the Axim.
All in all, the BT keyboard (Dell branded) works great with the Axim x51v and I don't have any problems with the Dell drivers.

I like my TO BT KB. Got it and the TO BT mouse from expansys.ca for ~ 150 total, shipped CAD.

It was a promo deal though and not current anymore AFAIK.

Check out the newegg link or possibly try to get a good Dell deal. Sometimes you can find some crazy deals there through the usual deals forums.

You'll get a lot of people telling you that the Think Outside Keyboard is the best... I'm one of them! I have two Axim X51v's and a Think Outside Bluetooth Keyboard for each of them!

But you really ought to get the Think Outside Bluetooth Mouse too!
