Not to be used with iPaq

This keyboard folds out well and I liked the feel of the keys.However, the IR connector needs to be in direct connection with the IR port in the PDA.For the iPaq, this port is at the bottom of the handheld.The 210 degree arm does not rotate to this area.In order to have the proper connectivity, you have to turn the handheld on its side.This then requires another software program download (not freeware that I can find) to rotate your screen to the landscape view, unless you can read sideways without...

Poor Product

Despite not being written on the packaging or website my HP iPaq RX3417 was compatible with this keyboard.Unfortunatly the software supplied was extremely bad, clogging my PDA making it run very slowely. As well as this, it also flickered when in use making the settings for the keyboard very difficult to change.In terms of hardware, I found the size and position of keys to be the biggest problem. While targus does include all 5 rows of a standard keyboard, it shrinks the top row (numbers) and the...

Nice hardware - really bad drivers

Ever since I loaded the Targus drivers on my Tungsten C, the battery discharges quickly and won't take a full charge.I've removed the driver, with no change.The next step was to do a hard reset of the Tungsten C and I'm hoping it will take charge.I'm taking this keyboard back for a full refund!...

Caveat Emptor

I cannot speak for all devices, but this was a total failure in my case.I am a fast typist, and it seemed that about 20% of the keystrokes were not picked up by my Treo 270.This was simply unacceptable, so I immediately returned it.I cannot determine whether the problem was due to the keyboard, the software, or my old PDA.Newer, faster PDAs might have a better success rate, but the potential for problems will still be there.My suggestion is to buy this somewhere with a generous return policy so...
