I dont see how you guys can type a thing on that Reverse QWERTY keyboard.

http://images.belkin.com/F8U1500/FUL1_F8U1500.jpg

I was trying to look at the layout and could not for the life of me understand why they would put the arrows on the left.  Or those odd markings on the keyboard.

Knowing that this image is backwards makes me want one all that much more.
It'd be a lot cleaner lineup to a 5500 on its side with the IR on the left.

Thank you.

i am happily typing away on the belkin keyboard from my zaurus.
Got it for $20 off of Amazon, and i am pleased so far.
Little keys, but a great size.  Thanks for letting me know that this was out there.  And thank you Cwaig and Kopsis for IRK.

5500, 3.5.2, IRK off the 3.5.2 feed.

Took a fair bit of stumbling around to figure out that the IRK controls were an input applet on the toolbar.

I was looking for an icon in Settings or Applications.

Works great, and I am enjoying it a lot.
Opens up so much more on my Zaurus.  PrBoom, better Snes9x input, you know, the real important stuff.

See https://www.oesf.org/forums/inde...showtopic=10000 for some more info.

Um . . . this is probably a dumb question, but where is the escape key mapped on the Belkin keyboard. Alternatively, how do I map the escape key.

Thanks!

Hi all!  ... a late-in-the-game newbie ... hmmm ... I just tried the version found on the first page with Sharp ROM 3.1.0 on a Z5500 to no success.

Selecting Belkin keyboard gives no response to key presses altogether. Selecting Pocketop gives jumbled keypresses ... anyone any idea?

Thanks!
Snappy!

I have problems with a belkin keyboard f8u1500-e. I installed the driver that I found in this place. Whe I try to activate the keyboard, a message box advice me that the irda is being used by other program. I activated in any case, and now, the device reboots always and Im unable to enter in the system. My zaurus is a sl-6000 and the system is the original of sharp zaurus. Im an ordinary user, not a geek. What can I do?

In the Settings tab, click on "Beam Receive", and choose "Manual" as the mode. Then in the taskbar, click on the input method chooser, beside the Q (start) button, and choose "IRK" as the input method. Then click on the settings for IRK, and to the right of the bottom bar that comes up, click on the settings button. Select F8U1500T as the keyboard, and "SL5600/SLC7xx" as the Zaurus model. You can try F8U1500 if that works better for your keyboard. Don't forget to turn IRK on with the buttons at bottom of screen. The IRK package that I am using is irk-zaurus-j_0.11.1f_arm.ipk. from here:
http://www.geocities.jp/bakkeo2004

This works on my SL-6000 with default Sharp rom. Hope this helps.

Perhaps I should answer my own question, but this link doesn't to work.

My pocketop keyboard died (too many opens and closes) and so I bought a belkin. I am using the modified driver (0.11.1) but the command keys don't seem to map correctly. Is there a trick to getting CMD+T to map to an action?

TIA,

Craig...
