Version 1.1 adds SIP/international layout support.

Turns your phone into a regular USB HID Keyboard you can use with your computer, PS3, Wii, XBOX360, etc...

edit - xbox360/ps3/wii functionality will be added in next release.

Tested on the HTC Touch Pro CDMA, should work with most WM 5/6 devices...

Hello,

wow, thats a great software!
Two things I noticed:
- It uses a qwerty-keyboard by default, not the one you have on your Touch Pro (German Layout - QWERTZ)
- Win Key does not work

Best Regards

This looks amazing!

Can anyone confirm it working on an HTC Kaiser or with a Mac? I cannot get mine to function :/

I've just tried my luck with my Touch HD and a Vista 64-Bit PC and encountered a few problems:

1. The WIN key doesn't work
2. The Touch HD doesn't have a hardware keyboard and what I type with my softkeyboard doesn't appear in the active window on my PC

If I recall correctly, the HTC Kaiser USB stack is strange; It doesn't even support USB Mass Storage function.. Perhaps Kaiser USB Function stack needs an update...

Do the Function (F1, Fx..) keys work? I'll see if there's a way to hook into the software keyboard.

Ok, I'll take another look at the winkey and how to localize the layout... Question though, is your computer set to use german layout as well?

Can this work through Bluetooth? That would be even better!

same here, the buttons that come with the program works but not the on screen keyboard.

Tested with diamond running might rom 4.7 on vista and XP. I assumed it wouldn't work on a PS3 as well.

I'll wait for an update, thanks no2chem!

It worked with my laptop. However, I had to reset it because the laptop keyboard did not work after plugging in my phone and using nueUSBkeyboard.

I also checked my 360 and it did not work at all.

Anything I can do to stop my laptop from not working and have it also work with my 360? Thanks!

Love the idea for this, and it worked pretty nicely on my Touch Pro The only issue I had was that the space bar registers as Alt and some other key (forgot now) was coming up as F1.

I expected it to fail on Kaiser, but it actually worked on first try ! (build 21032)

I have some feedback after a few tests :
- WinKey button on screen does not work
- Alt-tab feature cycles on my XP
- Layout is QWERTY instead of AZERTY and i can't find the letter 'M'
- Slower than remote control.
- Spacebar / Enter activates the button with focus on screen as well as sending keypress to the computer. Could be quickly fixed with a dummy button on screen that grabs focus all the time.

Other than that, it's a great piece of software ! It will come in handy for those servers i have at work without keyboard
