PalmOne keyboard - Treo Forum

scantey · 11-14-2006, 11:13 AM

Has anyone been able to get the palmOne keyboard to work with the Treo? I find that it misses a lot of keystrokes. I tried my friends Palm OS PDA with the keyboard and it works great. But it is practically unusable with the Treo.

Is it the universal keyboard that your trying to use?

I use it on mine, but I have the same problem. You have to keep it in alignment, and it works just fine.

Yes, it is the Universal. And I agree with you, Forgot, that the problem seems to be the alignment. But, even with it lined up as good as it gets, it still misses some keystrokes.

Too bad it is so hard to line up. Sometimes, it takes a few milliseconds to get and decode the signal, it seems. Eg., if you just hit keys in rapid sequence, they all get there. But if you just hit, keys in spurts, like pausing between the words, it misses the first letter.
