Default xda keyboard on xda 2

I have just upgraded to the xda 2 (Qtek 2020 actually) and have found that my foldable keyboard no longer works. Is there anything I can do to rectify this (updated drivers etc). The keyboard is designed by Darfon Electronics Corp and the keyboard name is G7B0.

It happens exactly the same to me! Darfon GB70, worked great with XDA, no way to have it working on Qtek 2020.

XDA Developers Team, please help. Thanks.

It should work if you uncheck "Receive all incoming beams".

If not, you may require an updated Darfon keyboard driver.

Search the forums for a similar thread where I have identified at least one version which works.

I have unchecked "Receive all incoming beaming".

I have tried also Compaq keyboard driver 3.03.

Could you identify which thread you refer to?

Thanks, byez

Here is the link for the G7B0 keyboard driver update, by the way I think this is the best engineered folding/sliding keyboard I have ever used.

I fully agree what the keyboard is concerned. Unfortunately the "update" file 7B0Setup_US_V200.exe does not solve my problem. My Darfon G7Bo worked fine wit XDA but does not with XDA IIi (I have incoming beams disabled).
Has anyone this keyboard actually working on a XDA IIi?
Thanks

Default Uk driver

Thanks a lot for uploading the UK driver.
unfortunately I get the same message after install as I did witht he US driver and subsequently the keyboard still does not work:
"The program you have installed may not display properly because it was designed for a previous version of Windows Mobile software."
Any ideas?
Cheers
