A good all round keyboard, with a nice metal body which adds strength and makes the keyboard feel that it is quality and not cheap. It took two installations onto my PDA (RX3715) before it started to work, don't know why. The first few times of aligning the keyboard to the PDA takes time but after some practice you will line it up without even thinking about it. The stand is not metal like the keyboard and it is not very good. It does not have any grip so when you try and tap the screen it keeps sliding along the surface (annoying during a lesson!!). the battery also lasts a long time, I have not yet had to change it (1 X AAA). There is only one complaint that I have with this keyboard and that is the hinge, it is weak. After four months of everyday use it broke and it is very hard to use with just a ribon holding the two pieces together. However, I contacted Belkin and within four days they replied saying that I could send it to them and they will replace it. The service of Belkin is excellent and I hope they keep to their word. A good overall keyboard, as long as you look after the hinge it will last more than four months.
Using dual-beam infrared to communicate with your PDA wirelessly, the keyboard no longer has to be attached to your PDA. Since the operation of the keyboard is based on the universal infrared technology, the keyboard is compatible with many Pocket PC and Palm devices available in the market. It can also be compatible with future PDA devices through driver updates. The Universal IR Wireless PDA Keyboard may be the last PDA keyboard you need to buy. This keyboard is designed for the following systems: HP iPAQ 3600/3700/ 3800/3900/5400 series Pocket PCs; Toshiba e310/e330/e335/e570/e740 & 2032SP Series Pocket PCs; Dell Axim X5 Series Pocket PCs; Palm III, IIIx, IIIe, IIIc, V, Vx, VII, VIIx m100, m105, m125, m130, m500, m505, m515, i705, and Zire Handhelds.
