4.0 out of 5 stars Very handy for tablet PC's, February 28, 2008

I'm an engineering student, so naturally I take lots of notes. I use this keyboard with an IBM x41 ultraportable Tablet PC. When I have the screen turned for tablet use, of course you don't have use of the laptops keyboard. I got this so I could lay the tablet flat on a desk, so I can type and write on my tablet. This keyboard really makes an excellent setup for note taking.

Pros: Good design overall, not too expensive, very portable and lightweight without feeling cheap, keys are full sized except for arrow keys, overall very good.

Cons: The spacebar is "cut in half" to allow folding of the keyboard (it is sometimes annoying when typing fast), also the arrow buttons are kinda cheap and not very useful, they don't have a good feel and are hard to press compared to all the other keys. Also, the removable usb cord uses some kind of proprietary connector, so if you loose yours or is damaged it might be difficult to replace (it's smaller than mini usb)

5.0 out of 5 stars A great foldable keyboard, March 17, 2008

I got this one for my Zaurus PDA. I take notes, email, and update blogs with it. I needed a keyboard with wired connectivity since my Zaurus doesn't have the bluetooth built-in or the docking jack that modern PDA's do-and most portable keyboards today use either of those. It comes with a retractabe USB cable(4pin mini-USB male). The keyboard has been working great so far. That "slit" other people complain about doesn't bother me at all. I saw some other keyboards with even wider slits(sometimes 1-inch wide or wider), and compare to that, it's nothing. The space key is cut in 2 but still has prenty space to hit on. My only complain is-the cursol(arrow) button thing... why not keys!? Well also the number keys(1-0) are smaller than alphabet keys, and that takes some practice to be used to. I'm pretty happy though, that I found something portable and looks good. I do recommend it to anybody who needs a good wired portable keyboard.

This came well and works great. the numbers are a little small and out of their normal place but all in all it makes me happy. IT IS PROPRIETARY: It looked like it was a mini usb from the pictures but don't be fooled like I was. It connects to the computer via USB, so if I lose the connector cable I will have to buy a whole new keyboard. As a side note the space bar is fine with me.
