This keyb is great. With this, and Documents To Go, the handheld is a great laptop replacement handling most wordprocessing and simple spreadsheet applications with ease. The keyb is small, light, and comfortable. The cool factor is very high the way it opens up. And, yes, you do get second glances when sitting in the coffee shop and writing your latest novel. Works really well with the Sony PDAs with 16 Mb ram in them... makes it convenient to store all those documents.

The keyboard weighs about the same as the Clie itself. Opens easily and the keys are comfortable to type in.

I only have 2 complaints:
- There're no keys for "Home" or "End". I guess it may not be possible to do this on a PDA, but it would have made navigating through a doc a bit easier.
- The keyboard cannot hook up to an adapter, which means the PDA's battery may run out in the middle of typing, though this seems unlikely.

Still, the complaints are minor, so I rate this as 4 stars.

Easy on battery usage, spacious, very comfortable layout, yet still compact. Folds up easy, no tight ribbon cables between keyboard halves, the pda holder is easy, strong. Keys are straight-forwardly quiet--no gumby touch here. Mfr did it all right. When this is folded up, it fits nicely into a small zip up pda style wallet. Find a wallet with pda memory card slots, and the sizing will be perfect for this. So, using this kybd, PEG SJ22, SiPix A6 portable printer, Margi Presenter w/remote... Lots of hotkeys, specialty key commands are easy - and easy to remember...a TOTAL office!

I know this is considered "old" technolgy, but for those of us who aren't using smart phones or iPads, a PDA like a Clie and a keyboard like this give you a portable hand-held device on which you can do basic word processing and searchable data base work. The keyboard makes word processing and extensive data base entry much easier. I take this to meetings when I don't feel like hauling along a whole computer.
