This review is from: Palm 3245WW Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard (Office Product)

I had used the Palm keyboard model 3169WW (Palm 3169WWZ Universal Wireless Keyboard) for a couple of years, and got fed up with it. It was being very temperamental. I've upgraded now to this Palm Bluetooth keyboard, and love it. It works smoothly every time, and is more stable so that I can use it on my lap without backing it up with a book or a clipboard. I can carry it in my pocket, and it's like having a computer with me all the time. I use it to take notes in meetings. I can write articles, and even used it once to write a book.

The keyboard on this page uses radio waves to communicate with the Palm. The model 3169WW uses an infrared beam.

And a cool thing is that either of these keyboards really impress my friends. I get comments like, "amazing!", "where'd you get that?" I love it.

Installation was straightforward and took about 3 minutes. The keyboard is responsive and almost full-sized. On my desktop computer, the q to p keys span 7 1/4 inches. On this keyboard, they span 7 inches. One gripe: I don't like the question mark/slash to the right of the shift key. I can never get used to that position.

Spend the extra $15 and get this keyboard instead of the 3169WW--it will last longer and be more useful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than the Infrared!, August 27, 2007

I had bought an infrared keyboard for my Palm TX, but found that it was not easy to keep the connection established, as the Palm had to be positioned exactly with the sensor. The Bluetooth keyboard can be used with the Palm in any orientation/position.

The only issue is battery life - of the TX, as the Bluetooth consumes a lot of power.

After going through a bunch of infrared Palm keyboards that stalled when you least wanted them to, I finally settled on the Bluetooth type and have been a happy camper ever since; it also seems sturdier and easy to the touch.
