User Submitted PalmOne Ultra Thin Keyboard for Palm m130, Tungsten, m515, and i705 series ReviewsDate: 2006-04-28 Tungsten Owners Beware!!! This keyboard is NOT compatable with the tungsten E or E2s (which do not use the 'universal' connector. I can't say anything about what other models may or may not work with it, but be aware that the Palm 'universal' connector is NOT in fact universal. It may be a marvelous keyboard, but I bought it based on the information that it was compatable with my palm... Date: 2005-06-18 Pretty, but fragile I've owned two of these keyboards, both of which I bought new, and both had dead keys (specifically, J through L) after a few months. It's a pity, because the size and layout of this keyboard is excellent. I now use the much cheaper Logitech keyboard, because at least when that dies it'll only cost 7 bucks to replace. Date: 2005-03-29 Works great, dead technology This is just about the coolest little keyboard you can find. It is light, portable, and it responds as well as a normal keyboard. The one downside, which I recently discovered, is that it won't work with the newer class of Palm Devices, explaining why it is so inexpensive now. When I first purchased a keyboard, it was to go along with a Zire 71 handheld. That handheld died, forcing me to upgrade to the newer Zire 72. Much to my surprise, Palm changed the connection for their PDA's, rendering the wonderful little typing device useless. So, if you are using one of the older models that it can work with, I would certainly say that it is a good buy. But, I would not count on it to last you for generations of Palm devices to come. Date: 2004-12-10 Will Fall Apart The piece that holds the palm to the keyboard fell apart - little metal and plastic bits everywhere. It's impossible to put back together. I hadn't mistreated or mishandled it, it is just very fragile. (In fact, I wish I had done something bad to it - I'd feel better.) I do not recommend that you buy this keyboard. Date: 2004-10-06 Utilitarian I've just bought the keyboard, and it seems versatile and useable. I would have liked another row of keys; however, it is incredibly small which is nice. One thing I ran into was that after the first time that I used it, I couldn't hot sync to my PC. I found that if I go into the keboard icon on my Palm and uncheck "Enable keyboard" that I could hot sync again. That was a little scary at first, but now that I have discovered the fix, it's just an inconvenience.
