Post by: Snappy on March 16, 2006, 04:24:21 am

Has anyone tried using a usb keyboard with your Archos?
If so, which keyboard and what Archos model?

on my PMA430 I'm using a Stowaway USB Portable Keyboard
made by Think Outside Inc
their SKU is BSTWUSB

works just fine, I forget what it cost but it's much cheaper than
the Archos keyboard although the Archos keyboard may have
some "Archos-centric" special function keys that the Stowaway does not

Happy hunting

That's neat! hmmm ... so do you have a case to carry the two items? I'm thinking along the lines of a UMPC setup where the UMPC is instead of a MS UMPC, a cooler Archos 700. I like the UMPC demo video where the device is attached to a case that also holds a keyboard.
