Has anyone had experience with this keyboard ? I have found an SL-5600 with one of these keyboards for sale. Thanks {rh}

There are lots of threads on the Zaurus Forums.  http://www.zaurus.com/dev/board/index.php?...=pocketop&st=25

I use the Micro Innovation keyboard and it works great with the IRK drivers.

I also have the Micro Innovations keyboard, and I have to say, while its OK, its not as great as I thought it would be.  The keyboard is pretty cramped to begin with, and the keys are not all the same size size.  There are no dedicated numeric keys, and the keys are angled in a way which I don\'t find helpful.  In addition, the stand doesn\'t really accomodate the Z in landscape mode (which is how you use it).  All in all I can\'t really type that much faster on the MI keyboard than with the thumb board.  Another thing.. you still have to use the stylus to tap things all the time, which really interupts the flow of typing.

Having said all that, I still use my MI keyboard all the time.  I just wish it were, you know... better.

Is anyone using the Targus keyboard?  It\'s not as small as the MI.  Maybe that\'s the way to go.

Palm Tungsten-T stylus (better than the original because it telescopes)
