Bluetooth Virtual Keyboard

My only concern is that it wouldn't be that great for gaming and how accurate is it? I kind of like to feel the keys. Looks interesting and I might check it out, but I'll wait for more reviews from customers first.

I got one for my Mom's Palm Lifedrive. She's currently in Europe on a 12 week vacation.

So far, it has worked flawlessly.

I spent a few hours with it when I was setting the thing up: it is weird to use, and touch typers are at a disadvantage, while people like me, who (mostly) look at the keyboard while typing are the winners.

They reckon good typists can exceed 70 wpm with one, but the best thign about it is that you get a full size keyboard in a form factor which is half the size of a packet of cigarettes.

It really only suits PDAs in my view.

COST: $224.99US
o_O price is a bit excessive no?
considering how simple the tech is.

edit: ahh, that review is over 2 years old, it's actually $179.99US atm. Still a bit pricy

yeah.. i think Mobi post this a while back with nearly the same responce he just gave.

Still though.. very cool!

ever see one of these??

The Ergodex DX1 Input System rules all!

I'd want to know how well it would work for gaming too..

My first impression is it would barely work for gaming at all. My second impression is it might work well enough for solitare or minesweeper, but would be completely useless for any 'modern' game.

Looks like a few people on the Personal Layout page have managed to get it to work pretty well with \"modern\" games. Personally, I could definitely see the benefit; you can put the keys for important functions right where your fingers would naturally rest, instead of having to contort your hand to conform with a standard keyboard layout.
