Is the Belkin keyboard supported on the Zaurus? You should check out the Pocketop wireless (www.pocketop.net). They claim it\'s fully supported on the Zaurus.

Not usre about the belkin, but I can also vouch for the pockettop.  I have personaly tested it with my 550 on the last 3 sharp roms, qtopia 1.6.2 , OZ 3.2 and 3.3.5 (does not function on 3.3.6) and the tkc 1.1 and 2.0alph3

The Belkin does not work with IRK 0.11

However the Pocketop (as other have stated) and the Targus do. Personally I prefer the Pocketop as it is quite a bit smaller than the Targus (for reference the Belkin is in between the small Pocketop and the large Targus).

I hope this helps,

IRK issues aside (as this can be fixed with a little hacking), does anyone have any opinions about the Belkin?  It looks like a nice keyboard form the pictures, and the dedicated number keys are a big plus.  Anyone tried one?  How do the keys feel?

My coworker had one (and the Targus) until he returned it. He said he liked the Targus better. I like the size of the Belkin better. The keyboard feel wasn\'t too bad, but that is a pretty personal thing.

I have a Pocketop, and use it all the time. The only improvement I would want is a separate row for the numbers. Even so, it beats the Belkin hands down in size, IMHO.

I hope this helps,

Hi Craig and all,

This is a late-in-the-game newbie question. So, anyone knows which IRK version works for the belkin keyboard with Z5500 running Sharp ROM 3.10? Thanks!

Snappy!

EDIT: ok, found a variant of irk here
[a href=\"https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=8121&st=]https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=8121&st=[/url]  Thanks all!

EDIT: Hmmm ... don't seem to work for me with 3.10 SHARP ROM.

Excellent! Thanks a bundle! :D:D It works like a gem!

Only thing is that it seemed to have conflict with opie-sysinfo 1.5-1. Anyhow its working now ...
