Keyboard options

Greetings. I am looking for possible wired keyboards to use with the Axim X51.

I would like it to have good-size keys (full-size would probably not be possible to find), a properly positioned number row, and have a decent stand.

I know that there are multiple bluetooth options. What in your view is the most desktop/laptop-like Bluetooth option out there, assuming there is no wired version that meets my needs?

Thanks for your time

Mike

Thanks for those options. Maybe I'd better be a bit more specific, and ask for some opinions.

The plan is for a set of ~30 of these handhelds to be used in a classroom environment with Middle School students. We are looking for a keyboard that will not impede their keyboarding capability (so decent sized keys are a must, and a full number key row would also be a plus).

I haven't found any bluetooth options that have a full number key row, layed out similar to a PC keyboard. Are they any out there?

In the environment I am describing, would there be a problem using the IR keyboards (i.e. multiple devices picking up on other keyboards)? Is bluetooth a better choice?

Thanks for your help

Mike

Check this site for models named "Stowaway", supposedly they are full sized foldable keyboards that communicate over Bluetooth or IR depending on the model you choose. There are other keyboards out there, but these repeatedly came up on a search for pocket PC keyboards.

You'd better be careful letting these expensive PPCs and keyboards fall into the hands of middle schoolers... Good luck to you!

I'm also looking into getting an external keyboard for my Axim X51v. I have read favorable reviews of some the HP external keyboards for the HP pocket pc's, though I have not come across reviews that include compatability with Axim BT. The Belkin site link above #2 does not connect me with the Belkin keyboard site. I did read on the Belkin site about several models that may be are BTcompatible. Has anyone found that any external keyboards (other than the Dell) that actually work with an Axim X51v?
