Keyboard recommendations

---

Hi

Does anyone have recommendations for a fold away keyboard? I'd prefer if it wasn't bluetooth to save on battery (on both devices).

Thanks

Whats wrong with the onscreen KB? Better alternative is to use a fullscreen keyboard like SPB's - save's the carrying around I must say !

i'm adept at using the block recogniser but a seperate keyboard would be better
to be able to touch type, i.e. faster, more comfortable and not have to look at the screen and be able to look at the speaker or notes etc.

apparently there are no mini-usb keyboards for the artemis and i may get the stowaway bluetooth keyboard for 40 pounds.

Artemis is external keyboard compatible?

If I buy a external keyboard, Artemis knows what to do with it?

Does anyone know if the iGo Stowaway bluetooth keyboard does work? I can't see this device on any of the compatibility lists and I don't know how compatibility works (if it's based on OS, model, or what) so could I use it with my XDA Orbit?

The iGo Stowaway keyboard DOES work with a WM6 Orbit. You have to use a different driver though. I am using the XDA Exec WM5 driver and it seems to work fine.

The keyboard itself is alright considering what it is. The only bad point is that it comes with a STUPID BLOODY STICKER right over half the casing and loads of keys which is ABSOLUTE HELL to peel off, it keeps tearing and you will be trying to get it off for half an hour. It will leave horrible residue all over many of the keys and the casing, I tried for ages using isopropyl alcohol and there's still crap left on the keyboard.

I bought the iGo stowaway. I never installed the original software, it just works out of the box but not the special keys. I love it, it's perfect. Didn't have a problem with the sticker

You can get Label remover, which is based on citrus juice, very good at getting rid of the crap left

Hi, I am struggling with the driver for the Ultra Slim. I used the driver off their website for Wizard (I think), but they had specific for Ultra Slim. Now all they have is the Universal Bluetooth driver. I would appreciate a link or e-mail with the driver which works on Artemis. BTW Ultra Slim keyboard worked really well for me in past. It's great keyboard. Thanks in advance.
