Palm IR Keyboard usable with X50V?

I've heard that the Palmone's Universal Wireless Keyboard is usable with Pocket PCs, but how about the normal Palmone's Wireless Keyboard (non-universal)? Anyone knows if there is any driver for this?

I bought my Belkin keyboard only for $35 at Amazon. Better deal than the palmone's anyways, and also it comes with a PPC and palmos driver.

Actually I already have the keyboard from my old Tungsten T3. Was thinking if I could use it so that I don't have to buy another one.

Not sure if it works. If it does, use it...
If not, you can get either the IR one I mention above, which is cheap, or this new BT one for $129:

Hello there:

I had the same dilema when I purchased my Dell Axim X30 high as I previously had been using the Palm IR keyboard (not universal) with my Tungsten E.

I've not tried it on WM5 but on 2003SE it will work perfectly. Go to the ThinkOutside website (www.thinkoutside.com) and download the driver for the universal keyboard. Install on your device and then start using the palm keyboard.

They are really the same keyboard except that the Palm IR has palm-style icons for the applications but they will take you to the same corresponding app on your Dell.

Hope this helps.

I use the "Palm Wireless Keyboard" with my x51. No problem.
