The bluetooth keyboard that dell is selling now and that works with x50v, is it the same keyboard as the one that they sell for x30? i personally didn't get the dell keyboard, so i just want to make sure. the dell sales rep insisted that the x30 keyboard won't work for the x50v and refuse to sell me that keyboard when i bought my x50v. in the end i had to spend more money to buy the TOBT keyboard.

so i just want to know whether the sales rep was talking BS and if so i am going to write a letter to Dell and make a complain to the dept of fair trading (i m in australia)

I bought the Dell BT Keyboard for the X50v. It had problems connecting. After 25 days some of the keys quit working. By this time I was addicted to using a keyboard on the X50v so I tried to get a replacement. It was going to take Dell several days to get me a replacement, so I overnighted the ThinkOutside BT Kybd. It looks the same, but it works flawlessly. The extra money you spent was worth it. I also noticed on the Dell site that it now says the Executive BT Kybd is not compatible with the X50v. When I asked the Dell rep about it, he did not have an anwer. I did recieve my replacement Dell BT Kybd, but I haven't used it.

Strange thing, but the Dell BT Keyboard is the Stowaway BT keyboard from ThinkOutside. I had issues too and finally just grabbed the ThinkOutside drivers and reflashed the Dell keyboard. Now it thinks it is a Stowaway and is much happier. I am not sure if that impacts the warranty or what would happen if the connection craps out during a reflash. But, it works and now I might actually get their BT mouse. The mouse driver is buundled with the keyboard driver.

I bought the dell BT keyboard last month (I'm also in Australia) -- I was not warned about any problems with x50v.

It works, but I had to use the drivers from ThinkOutside.
