Pocketop Keyboard
« on: January 07, 2005, 12:26:39 pm »
Hello all,

I ordered a Pocketop keyboard for my 6000L back in November based on the many recommendations from this site. After 3 weeks the keyboard had not shown. I contacted their service organization directly, but didn't hear back for a couple of days. At this point it was the week before Christmas, and I figured they were probably just getting caught up in the holiday rush. I waited a couple more days and called, leaving a message on their voicemail, asking if they had shipped the order and when it might arrive.

Much to my display the message I received back stated that yes, the order had been shipped, and UPS had marked it as delivered. Someone in my neighborhood had a shiny new keyboard, but it wasn't me. I sent a reply email, thanking them for the response, and grumbling about shifty neighbors.

I got back a short reply, stating "Happy New Years!".

Today the replacement was there, on my doorstep. Marked on the shipping receipt: "Gratis- not requested."

I can't speculate if this is standard Pocketop policy or just a spur of the moment decision, but they have made a loyal customer. And the keyboard works great too . I wanted to share this story with the Z community because it is unusual to find companies that support customers this well.

Go Pocketop!

What ROM are you running it under?  Just curious...

Did you get the original keyboard or the newer version (CT4700)?

I am running a stock Sharp ROM, with IRK from the 6000L thread:
6000L Keyboard thread

I ended up with model MP-0118, which is the same as the microtouch keyboard (says "made by Pocketop) that can be found at Frys.

The KB works great, the size is decent and touch-typing requires only a little re-training to get back up to speed. The included stand doesn't hold up to the heft of the 6000L when in the vertical position, but then again, since the IrDA is on the side of the 6000L I only use it in portrait position anyhow. The stand works well in this orientation.

Cheers, JJ
