I need to buy a keyboard for my axim as it is Relitively hard to type using the on screen keyboard or even a full screen keyboard. I was wondering which keyboards you guys would recommend?
I am also interested in there projected bluetooth keyboards that have sprung up recently, are they any good etc..

Thanks,

I think the Thinkoutside (Original or Dell branded) works best. I have one and I love it. hmmmm. .... I guess that makes me biased.

cool ill go and buy one of those however can I ask some questions first?
How long does a battery last?
How many folds undolds it support?
I ask as my old axim keyboard only lasted two days (I use it for five hours of school a day), as well as this afterr a year of folding unfolding it staeprted to bend, and snap and eventually become two separate halves!

Just out of interest, has any on tyyed/liked the projected keyboards?

well i have had the Think Outside bluetooth one for like 6 months, and it has been great. it is really small. i think that they have come out with a new one in the mean time that is a little bit bigger, with a number row of keys. (the one i have doesn't have seperate number keys, it sucked for a programming class that i had last quarter )

the version that i have is the stowaway bluetooth keyboard. i have only had to change the batteries once. but if you plan on using it a lot (like 5 hours a day) then i would really suggest getting rechargable nimh batteries. they last a lot longer and are obviously reusable.

good luck.

thanks for your help, yes, My freind has the non extra keys one, Ill see if i can find one with number keys, XD

On the power issue. I certainly agree that rechargeables are the way to go. Also, I have more issues with the standard ax battery going during extended use than the keyboard. Spares are always good. I'd say the keyboard would last a day a school, the ax won't, without help.

Hi.

I just bought the ThinkOutside BT keyboard/ mouse bundle. Works very well for me. Easy BT install/ setup with supplied drivers. I can recommend this!
