At first, I installed a driver from the CD, but it didn’t work. Then, I went to the support site to download a new driver.
It still didn’t work except one case….
If I put the keyboard close enough to get a signal, I could use a keyboard.
That means I should put something beneath the keyboard to make it close with a PDA.
I will return it tomorrow.
Unless they fix this problem, don’t buy it.

The install went well, but it took me a little while to get my pda to work with the keyboard. I have a Pharos Traveler 535e with a side IR port, so I have to turn my unit sideways & adjust the orientation to landscape to work. The major issue I’m having is that I don’t have petite hands. I had a Targus before, which was comfortable and commodious, but the Belkin is a little small for my taste. I find it funny that both keyboards fold up to a very similar size, given the space the Targus offers.
Also, I liked that when I attached my Targus to my old iPAQ 3765, it worked automatically. The Belkin has to be turned on and off through the pda, which is a little more time consuming if you have an idea to get down right away. The plus on the Belkin, I think, is that it takes a battery, whereas the Targus works off the pda battery. That never really was a problem for me, though.

This item was exactly what I needed for my PDA. It worked easily with little setup. The price was great for this item.

Software installed fine, but the keyboard never worked properly. Half the keys on the first one wouldn’t work. Tech support first blamed me, saying I didn’t install the driver right. Then after sitting on the phone with me step by step, they conceded it wasn’t my fault and told me the board was defective. I exchanged it and that one would’t work at all. After installing this software 10 times and pulling every trick I can find, I’m giving up.
