I have have one of these Palm keyboard for a couple of year now . it work okay , and turn my Palm Tungsten into a computer I can carry in my pocket . I can take note in meeting , write article . it be great . but it have always be temperamental . within a month of get it I find I often have to jiggle the two half of the keyboard a little to get it to start work . then lately , a row of key on the right -lrb- the zero , p , l , and period -rrb- start not work unless I would twist and manipulate the half just so . every time ! it be maddening . I get feed up with it and upgrade to the Bluetooth keyboard -lrb-  Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard  for only $ 15 more , I have a smoothly function no-glitch keyboard . it be a little more stable -- in lock position I can actually use it on my lap without rest it on a book or clipboard . you can detach the cradle for the Palm and set it off to the side if you need to . the keyboard on this page use a infrared beam to communicate with the Palm . the Bluetooth use radio wave . and a cool thing be that either of these keyboard really impress my friend . I get comment like , `` amazing ! '' , `` where would you get that ? '' I love it . spend the extra $ 15 and get the better keyboard -- it will last longer and be more useful .
