Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Palm 3169WW Universal Wireless Keyboard
Customer Review: A toy --- not like a real keyboard
Summary: 2 Stars
I wish I could get an infrared keyboard for my Tungsten, with a layout like my old Targus Stowaway keyboard for the Handpsring Visor. The keys on the PalmOne 3169WW are just small enough, and just non-standard enough that I have to concentrate on how I am typing, rather than on *what* I am typing. My fingers are squeezed together, I keep hitting the hinge instead of the space bar, and I keep hitting "scroll up" where the question mark key normally is.
The 3169WW is technically a keyboard, and my words per minute are certainly faster than drawing graffitti. But I cannot type the same as I can on a regular keyboard, as I could with my old Stowaway.
Customer Review: a little pricey, but does the trick
Summary: 5 Stars
I just received this product in the mail and found the installation to be extremely easy. Within minutes, I was typing away. The keyboard is a little smaller than the one on my laptop, but was easy to use (if you are used to a larger desktop keyboard it may require more of an adjustment). The keyboard locks in place and I was able to rest it on my lap and type. My only complaint is that my palm device (Tungsten E2) rests on the holder, but isn't secured in any way. I'm a bit concerned that it might fall over if I make any sudden movements. All in all, however, I'm extremely pleased with this product. Try to get it on sale, because $70 is a bit steep.Customer Review: Who designed this rubbish?
Summary: 1 Stars
This keyboard is a totally unstable design, you cannot use on your knee or anything moving, otherwise the Handset will topple over. Software installation was a no-go, and when it was finally installed, a succession of fatal errors led me to junk the whole thing. Just waiting for the pins on the T5 connector to bend or snap, and no integrated USB power.
Whoever designed this contraption failed to consider basic ergonomics, and how the Palm is used on the move.
Used to have the Palm IIIc and keyboard. Loved it. Stable platform, easy to use, reliable, strong connector, and great for rapid note taking. Replaced it with a T5. Progress?
Customer Review: How to leave your laptop behind
Summary: 5 Stars
I can finally leave my laptop behind and use my Tréo 650 for most of my day-to-day computing needs. I've used laptops exclusively for the past 13 years, so I like laptops. Nonetheless, using my Plam Wireless Keyboard in conjunction with my Tréo lets me type emails, letters, backgrounders, etc. without struggle. If you've been lugging around a laptop because you "might" need to take notes or stay in touch, think again. I have data service with my Tréo, so I'm always in touch with email access and the keyboard lets me get my thoughts and ideas to colleages immediately. It's an essential Palm/Tréo accessory.Customer Review: Universal keyboard
Summary: 3 Stars
I probably would have purchased the next higher grade of this keyboard if I had to do it over. Although the price is better, the built-in casing tends to pop open when not in use in the brief case. I had to download the program (and sync it) three times before it would work consistently. (I.e. after the first download, it worked fine. Then when I put it away for the night, the next day it would not work and I had to repeat the process twice before it did not consistently without a problem.) If you have bigger than average fingers, stay away from this. While the keyboard is convenient, it is still smaller than standard.
