Okay, but not phenomenal February 8, 2008
The install went well, but it took me a little while to get my pda to work with the keyboard. I have a Pharos Traveler 535e with a side IR port, so I have to turn my unit sideways & adjust the orientation to landscape to work. The major issue I'm having is that I don't have petite hands. I had a Targus before, which was comfortable and commodious, but the Belkin is a little small for my taste. I find it funny that both keyboards fold up to a very similar size, given the space the Targus offers.
Also, I liked that when I attached my Targus to my old iPAQ 3765, it worked automatically. The Belkin has to be turned on and off through the pda, which is a little more time consuming if you have an idea to get down right away. The plus on the Belkin, I think, is that it takes a battery, whereas the Targus works off the pda battery. That never really was a problem for me, though.
 Keyboard for PDA May 19, 2007
This item was exactly what I needed for my PDA. It worked easily with little setup. The price was great for this item.
 Never worked September 15, 2006
Software installed fine, but the keyboard never worked properly. Half the keys on the first one wouldn't work. Tech support first blamed me, saying I didn't install the driver right. Then after sitting on the phone with me step by step, they conceded it wasn't my fault and told me the board was defective. I exchanged it and that one would't work at all. After installing this software 10 times and pulling every trick I can find, I'm giving up.

Belkin's website documentation is wildly out of date and muddled so it was difficult to know if this keyboard would work with an Axim X51V PPC with ActiveSync 4.2 and WM5.0. But, after a lot of effort, I found it did. (I downloaded the Windows CE 2005 driver). Belkin have really shot themselves in the foot over all this...
Although the PPC stand is very flimsy (the Stowaway one looks much better, and apparently has a better arrangement for beaming) the Belkin has the great advantage of a proper row of number keys at the top. It's a neat little keyboard, and all in all I am very satisfied. Leaving aside the compatibility list and driver problems, I can't understand what all the whingeing is about.
Never Worked with Tungsten E June 1, 2006

I jumped to Linux some weeks ago and got finally got syncing correct for my Tungsten E. However, I never got this keyboard to work with the E. It's true that the E is not mentioned as being supported, but I was told otherwise. Because I'm using Linux and the probs took so long to resolve, I can't return. I can't resell because I don't know if it's not simply broken.
Palm says something about "vcard" not working with some 3rd party infrared devices for E. Make another choice if you don't use Windows/Mac and/or use Tungsten E.... Beware.
