My freedom universal keyboard came with copy protected drivers restricted to two users. My wife used one of them. I use my Pocket PC heavily. As my device fills up with files and programs it gets sluggish. To keep my device working smartly, I regularly do a cold reset which returns the machine to its original state. Then I reload only the files and programs I need. Unfortunately, when it comes to my keyboard my two uses have gone.
I can see I will be in for a nightmare of sitting on hold with the freedom universal keyboard help desk when I try to put the driver back on my Pocket PC. What will I do when I am traveling overseas?
Had I known this, I would have sought another keyboard solution like the Belkin infrared. Belkin doesn’t care how many users share their keyboard.

I’ve had my Freedom Keyboard now for several years. It’s not beautiful or elegant, but it works well enough. I don’t doubt the other reviewers experiences, but I wanted to say they weren’t the only experiences. I would agree that the keyboard doesn’t function perfectly — I’m also a touch typist and it especially misses the space-bar a lot — perhaps because I’m lighter with my thumb than other fingers?
I bought it not to save money at all, but because when I bought it it was the only bluetooth keyboard I could find with the number row keys. That made it the only possible choice for me — it’s not just the numbers, but all the special characters ($,#,&,(,),-, etc)that make the number key row indespensible for me. I would so recommend not buying any portable keyboard with only 4 rows.

I bought the Freedom Universal keyboard. The installation was very difficult, I has to carefully read the directions, and call technical support. They suggesting installing every thing a second time. Then it started working … Yeah.
I week later is stop working again. I then reinstalled everything and it started working again.
This week it stopped working again. I have reinstalled the drivers 5 or 6 time and it still doesn’t work. $90 down the drain, and to be honest I loved the keyboard when it was working.

I have worked the computers and electronic devices for more than thirty years. This is the worst piece of junk I have ever purchased. Throw it away, cut your loses and run. If you try to return it, they just do not accept your mail.

I purchased this keyboard after a fairly extensive search of bluetooth portable keyboards. I bought it on price and availability. Now I wish I would have just gone with the Think Outside keyboard and paid the extra $$.
My Dell PDA had some Active Synch issues with my older laptop and I got caught between Dell and Microsoft each blaming the other . . .but that is another story. . .
The keyboard arrived quickly and set up mechanically quite well. I was pleased. I couldn’t actually use it because I couldn’t install the software drivers without Active Sych working. . .and for a variety of reasons, that took 60 days to get resolved.
When I was finally able to load the drivers, the keyboard installed relatively easily. . .and I was ready to type!!. . .except that you had to hold certain keys down very hard to get them to register, and then 5 keys did not work at all, regardless of the pressure.
I emailed my supplier who in turn sent me to the manufacturer. No phone numbers available for either. I’ve sent several messages to the manufacturer and have never received a reply. I guess I’m just stuck!!
