AFAIK, HP Foldable Bluetooth Keyboard. But it does not recognizes as HID-device, uses SPP-slave.

A few weeks back, I bought the Thinkoutside bluetooth keyboard on ebay for $60 brand new. Very nice keyboard.

Another vote for Think Outside BT keyboard. A little more expensive than others, but well worth it IMO . A few months ago, I found that CompUSA.com had the best price.

t ok by me
Another vote for (dell branded) think outside kb for me. I also have a mouse. They use their own drivers, but I haven't had any problems with them behaving with the other devices on the ax. They are the only BT peripherals that can be connected simultaneously with other BT gear.

Question about the blue tooth keyboards, though: do they sap the power and decrease battery life?

Having the bluetooth receiver ( the little blue light) of the axim on may decrease a little bit the battery life but not that much..

I've had great luck with the Think Outside BT on my X50v and X51v, easy to install, works every time, no problems.

Haven't tried any others though....

I use numbers a lot, and the thinkoutside has squished the 5th row to the 4th. That is why I am hesitant about this keyboard. Any thoughts

Thats right, the sierra is a little less expensive, bot a lot thicker and bulkier than the BT original, it depends on everyones needs.
