[takhyon]

Many of us were looking for a keyboard for our Maestro's. Here's one available a drive (or order) away.

look very interesting... i guess they aren't full sized?

Looks like a decent price after rebate. Here's a price comparison from PriceGrabber: TKB700U

Via pricegrabber, its about $90 for the cheapest price shipped to me.

can anyone confirm it works with the audiovox?

 

[olouie]

nice.... i want one, but looks like the IR will not work with the vox... eh?

You could buy it from the B&M and if it doesn't work with the Maestro, return it for a full refund.

not at crapusa....

remeber that

"An open box fee equal to 15% of the purchase price will be charged on any opened item, unless the item is defective and exchanged for the exact same item (fee not applicable in Hawaii). The 15% open box fee will be assessed at the time of refund or exchange. "


hate that about them.... oh well

It is defective if it doesn't work on the Maestro. They claim 'universal' compatability. I have returned things for full refunds when they dont work as advertised.

Got one yesterday, WORKS GREAT! When asked what driver to install, select the iPaq (2002). Some of the Function keys will have to be remapped......but otherwise a nice keyboard and a good deal. Since the IR port on the Audiovox/Toshiba is on the side, I made a bounce card out of a 3 x 5 card to help the signal.

So where do you end up putting the pda with this thing? On the table top? I like my Stowaway over my small Fellowes keyboard for the simple reason that the hookup point puts my pda at a good angle for reading.
And are they regular sized keys?

 

[cspayne]

It comes with a little folding prop-up table that you can attach to the keyboard when it's folded up. A silver (plastic) reflector is built in but it won't work because of the IR location on the Audiovox.
The keys a smaller than a regular PC keyboard but not to small to use a a fairly quick pace.
Keyboard folds in half to about the same size as the PDA. I liked the Stowaway better (HP 525), but this is the only dance in town right now....and cheaper!

I'll keep my Stowaway, thank you.
