- Nice keyboard as long as it lastsI first bought this keyboard in 2004. I used it from time to time and was quite pleased with it until certain keys suddenly no longer worked. Hewlett Packard replaced it as it was still under warranty. A few months later, the same keys (P, O, etc.) suddenly stopped working on the replacement keyboard. The ribbon cable on the right side of the keyboard (inside, you can't see it) is about 1/4 inch too short so that opening and closing the keyboard puts a tension on the cable which eventually causes it to break. It could possibly be avoided if you open the keyboard slowly and very gently. It seems to be the only keyboard that does not need batteries. I would consider buying another one, but it's too bad that HP didn't add another quarter inch of play to the cable.

- Gets the Job DoneThis keyboard gets the job done, compact, folds away nicely. The downside is that unlike most othe PDA keyboards it plugs in instead of using wireless or Bleutooth. It also lacks a power source (ie. battery, Ac adapter) and can drain your PDA's battery. The main positive is that it is compatible, the only keyboard compatible with this set of HP products. Oh one other thing, if you're using POCKET PC windows 2003 or newer your gonna need to download a new driver from HP's website, as what they packadge with the product is now old and no longer compatible.

- Nice, solid keyboard, works with rx3115It's hard finding a keyboard that works with your pda. I ending up getting this one for my rx3115 and do not regret it. Check around for prices, but this is a nice one. I prefer the kind that hook up to the serial port and don't require batteries. You don't have to worry about the PDA falling off or the batteries running out.
The keys are very solid, which is very different from most other foldable keyboards which are more like flimsy laptop keyboards. Also the keyboard itself is very sturdy and won't fold up in your lap. It doesn't fold at all, actually, the keys slide out sideways. I like this design better than the others which fold like napkins.
The only drawback is that this keyboard is smaller, but I got used to it within a day.
Also, it's not mentioned in the instructions, but you do have to have turn the PDA off and then on to get the PDA to recognize keyboards like this that hook up via the serial port.

- Great item for typing in lots of dataThis is a great, portable keyboard. It worked with my iPAQ hx2755 the first time I tried it. It amazed my neighbors on the airplane when I whipped it out and started typing away on it. If you have a lot of typing to do, this is the way to do it. It is small and takes a little adjustment, but if you are a quick typist it beats using a stylus to tap your entries in. Now if they could just get a mouse to go with it.....
