I got mine the other day from that first post. Works great. Took a few minutes to set up on my Axim x51v after downloading the driver from their website on the pda. Very pleased with it.

were you typing on this thing just now? hope it's your fingers and not the keys mixed up.

supposedly it works with wm6 http://www.mobileplanet.com/ft.aspx?k=99148
Mine arrived yesterday and I got it to work with my 770 pretty easily. Layout is a bit strange as it's a compact keyboard but makes usability of my 770 a whole order of magnitude better. I was only upset at the sticker covering the keys and outside cover.
I ordered one for my 770, and just ordered another for my incoming N800...thanks OP.
I am very impressed by the engineering and build quality of this thing. I can see why they try to get $100+ for it. The leather case is a nice touch. Hard for me to justify at $90. A killer deal at $30 shipped.
The N800 with the upcoming updates plus this keyboard are really more functional than the $450 N810.

Mine arrived a couple of days ago and I have been enjoying it with my Lenovo laptop. My config has my laptop sitting in a port replicator under my monitor, so the laptop keyboard is inaccessible. I had been using an IR keyboard, but it was inconsistent and never reliable...
This keyboard is amazing!!! I fold it up at night to save on battery life and all I have to do in the morning is unfold it and it immediately connects with my laptop.

i don't see why not... as long as the drivers work and you have a BT receiver. apparently urs4driver was able to get it to work with his laptop (which also answered one of my original questions... we'll see if it'll work with mine though too )

The nutso sticker is infuriating, one of the worst I have ever had to remove.
Highly ironic to find this screw up on a keyboard that is otherwise so meticulously thought out and executed. Executed is what probably happened to the packaging engineer who neglected to specify the right kind of sticky stuff.
I have tried both soapy water and goo remover stuff and neither worked well. Do not install the batteries until you have removed the sticker, particularly if you try wet methods like I did. Give it a chance to dry out while you search the net for drivers and decent instructions.

Or you can try your luck at pricematching.
I just missed out on the GOLD BOX special of $27.99, so purchased it at $89.99. After delivery notice was sent out, I asked for a price match to a "lower price that was offered within the last 10 days". They answered my request in 12hrs and refunded me $62.00!
Access their online email forms via the help link, then look for "contact us". It will then come up with your previous purchases so that you can select the item and order number to refer to.

Anyone tried typical household chemicals that work well to remove the gunk? I got some potent stuff around but don't want to risk wiping out any enamel on the surface with it.

Finger nail polish remover (non acetone type).
Be VERY gentle, especially around the logo.
Worked for me just fine. I really didn't have any residue left on the keys, so that wasn't an issue for me.
Good luck! I continue to be amazed at how well this keyboard performs and is constructed...
I am having problems with my bluetooth GPS reciever after pairing this with my Dell Axim. Dont know if the problem is with the GPS receiver or the keyboard.
