Default Type of Keyboard?

I would like to invest in a portable keyboard for my 2215 PDA. Which is the best? I am looking for quality and price. The IR one from Belkin looks nice.

I just purchased the HP foldable keyboard. So far its been nice. I have been reading about other keyboard of better price and function,however, the major player s that sell keyboards do not have drivers available for WM03.

There is a place on the web that you can buy a refurbished or discounted HP keyboard.

Good luck

Honda,

Hello. You could also check eBay. I purchased an HP folding keyboard for my 2215 last week (awaiting delivery this week) for about $26 brand new and still sealed.

There is a site (I don't currently have the URL) that has them refurbished (but folks who have gotten them can't see anything wrong with them) for about $35.

Here's the link:

$34. They state that these keyboards are refurbed, but I couldn't tell that mine had ever been used.

But better hurry! The quantity available has quickly dropped (not suprising considering the price).

quantity on Thurs. = 48, quantity on Mon = 27

You have been ever so wonderful, I think I will get one of those keyboards. I have NEVER had probs with refurbed items before!

I'd recommend the Pocketop Ir Keyboard but:

a. there is no WM2k3 support (yet)
b. tech support is none existent

I have that keyboard, (under the Micro Innovations tag)... nice keyboard and should they ever come out with 2003 drivers AND updated NYDITOT drivers it will make a decent alternative to the foldable HP keyboard.

Especially since new MI/Pocketop keyboards are selling on eBay for as little as $5 (which is what i paid for mine)
