Wonder has anybody tried this tiny keyboard... It would be perfect if it has BT.

I haven't tried it, but since it's a normal USB keyboard it should work with Athena no problem.
What could be more interesting is if this one is working and if the trackball is working - that would be much cooler...

How about this one with BT but at 8x the price...

Does anybody know of a bluetooth keyboard for windows mobile (the Athena in particular) that has the EXACT key layout as a BlackBerry keyboard? I'm soo used to the BlackBerry keyboard and really don't want to learn another keyboard layout. Thanks.

I'd like to use the HTC Touch keyboard on my Tilt for the times that I don't want to slide out the keyboard, but installing it seems to break the autocorrect feature when I am using the hardware keyboard. I see a few other people mentioning this in various threads, but I have yet to see any mention of a solution to this problem. I've tried all sorts of combinations of enabling and disabling autocorrect and various xt9 features, but the only way I can get autocorrect back is by uninstalling the HTC Touch keyboard.
By autocorrect, I'm referring to the ability to type in "il" and have it automatically change to "I'll"
Hi - did anybody find a solution to this? I've been searching high and low!
I'm in exactly the same boat - I love HTC keypad as it really helps me use the Kaiser one-handed, but I really miss the auto-correct on the hardware keyboard.
Is there a version of this SIP that doesn't break auto-correct?
I tried the HTC phonepad, but just couldn't get used to it after using the newer Keypad.
I would love to have a good T9 style SIP, but also have autocorrect on the hardware keyboard......anybody that can help?
Thanks!
I'd noticed that too, quite annoying as the touch keypad is so useful.

I too found the same issues yet I loved the T9 input using the touch pad. I removed the xT9 one and installed this one instead.
You still get T9 and it works fast too. The internal keyboard auto correct also works with it too.
Is also made by HTC but can't remember where I found it. May have been on here before or recently.
I've been earching for a solution to this as well for months now. The autocomplete that XT9 disables is part of wm6 which it calls "word completion." When XT9 is installed via htc keypad, word completion ceases to work along with the feature that auto-fills contacts as you start to type a new SMS.
Thanks for posting that pkonepad cab, but unfortunately.that' the sip that radatia mentioned above. The buttons on the new HTC touch phonepad are bigger and easier to use.
What we really need is someone here that knows some programming to somehow alter the touch phonepad so that xt9 can be toggled on and off (without a registry change and restart), or better yet somehow change it to use a T9 like the phonepad's instead of xt9...
I have exact same problem. I love the htc virtual keyboard because became useful. However once I installed it, the hardware keyboard word completion no longer work I need that too because I use it.
I have another question, do anyone know if I can make the default windows word completion to auto select the top most word suggested list so I can just enter space bar to select it. Now I always have to use down key to select the word 1st. Not efficient.
Just wanted to bump this topic. There have got to be others out there who share our frustration... and someone who can put an end to it!
I've given up on the HTC Keypad, much as I like it and it making the device usable one-handed.
Have moved onto the PocketCM Keyboard as my preferred SIP just so that I can still keep word completion when using the hardware keyboard.
Hope that someone posts here if a solution is eventually found......
oh man!
I'm the opposite.. how I wish the hardware keyboard is not auto correct enabled when I use it.
I've tried dis-abling the auto correct etc.. dun seem to work..
now using Resco keyboard..
it's the next best thing, but kinda defeats the purpose of getting the tytn II in the first place.
Yes the touch keyboard has many issues when used on kaiser. i can't get autocomplete to work with the hardware keyboard either unfortunately.
I do know that "multiword completion" in the xt9 settings or whatever is a bad thing and causes other problems, so i uncheck that. But, still can't figure out how to get autocomplete to work.
I spent a lot of time searching and installing/uninstalling these things to try and find a perfect mix, no luck though. It's still QUITE usable for me, but i would like auto complete for hardware keyboard, though, i dont think i'd use it as i type realy fast anyways with it.
It's quite hard to justify buying a keyboard when we are able to install a free one that *almost* does what we want! pcmkeyboard with iphone buttons and XL touch skin is good, but i am realy starting to like xt9.
:-( i have this problem now and love the keyboard...
Hi All,
I've recently installed the HTC Diamond Keyboard on my TytnII. Its great but, there is an issue with the old standard keyboard.
The issue being that the diamond keyboards cannot predict more that one word, whereas the old keyboard can predict a lot more. However since installing the above, the word prediction no longer works on the standard keyboard.
Please help. Thanks

Ok First Thing, this post would be more useful in the Thread in which you got the Keyboard CAB.
Secondly, Yeah it does that. The Diamond Keyboard installs XT9, which I personally think is utter crap. So maybe, if you want, you can find the Disable XT9 Cab and install it on your device. See if that helps.
I am looking for an SIP keyboard similar to EZ-Input 2. I really like how the keys are so big an easy to use, almost like the Iphone keyboard. I can't use the one in the developers sub forum, since I just discovered that it was the cause of my hardware keyboard to not function correctly. If anyone has a version of it that works, or another suggestion, let me know. Thanks.
Try using FingerKeyboard 2.1. I use it and it's very good. It has haptic feedback and pops up the keys pressed just like the iPhone Keyboard. Very good from my part.
Thanks. I have used it before, and will be using it again now for the time being. I was wondering though if there were any keyboards with even bigger keys though? This would make typing even easier.

Hi, I have tried searching for something like this for a while now, both in the forums and on the web.
So, for the question. I want to use my onboard keyboard on the X1 to control my PC, preferably via bluetooth. So when i press a key on my X1 keyboard my PC will register the same keystroke.
Is this possible, and have anyone seen a software or product similar or exact as i am describing?
Kind regards
Lemuren
sure it's possible

lemuren, i was also searching for a bluetooth keyboard / mouse program on my x1. I've found a program called Mobile Remote: http://www.mobilesrc.com/MobileRemote.aspx, that emulates a Human interface device. The advantage of this is, you don't need any drivers because windows and other operating systems already support these kind of devices. It's even possible to use the x1 keyboard and mouse on a Playstation 3!

I just downloaded this app yesterday and tested it on my Vaio Laptop. It appears that the physical keyboard works but it is always in FN mode (blue square button), so I end up typing the symbols and numbers instead of the letters. Wondering if there is a way to disable this when using the physical qwerty. The touch screen keyboard works well, but I would rather type with the actual keyboard.
Hello, guys.
It works!
Any luck figuring out how to fix the issue /disable the blue square on the physical keyboard?
thanks a lot

Nope, no luck. I found that the other program works better than Gremote (uses a server on the PC, so is more advanced). So if you want to setup the mobile as a mouse the MobileRemote is the better one.
Hi @ all,
i want to share my experience with the mini bluetooth keyboard PX-2563 from Generalkeys (ordered at www.pearl.de) and my hd2 running WinMo 6.5 orig. Vodafone german ROM 3.14. First of all i have to say this keyboard is low-priced and in my opinion this is good It makes a cheap impression and i will see how long it will run. The keys are made of soft rubber, but you have to press it relative hard. So for the first time i am not faster than with the on-screen keyboard.
The keyboard is delivered with a driver-cd. Don´t touch it if you want to use it with your hd2! There is an old version of blueinput on it but this is useless for me.
My solution to get it running and have the german layout:
1. Install Fingerkeyboard 2.1 from this great forum and only activate ger as language in the options.
2. Install AEKMAP 1.3 (it´s free, you don´t need to activate it)
3. Use the .aek-file with the correct layout (attached to this post)
4. pair the keyboard with your HD2
5. have fun
So you will have in round about 20 min. this keyboard running with a nearly perfect german keyboard layout
Infos about my attached keyboard-layout:
This is my first version for this keyboard. Most keys/characters are working. The ALT-Key is NOT working. Use CTRL instead of ALT! (CTRL+q for @, CTRL+e for €, CTRL+m for \). Umlauts and special characters are also working.
regards, interceptor
Thanks a lot for this post! I received my Pearl keyboard today and was very unhappy with the delivered software and the keyboard layout! I am using it right now with a HTC HD2 and the suggested software...
Unfortunatly the "€" is not mapped as it is not mentioned in the .AEK file. I'll try to get a clue how this mapping file works and maybe the ALT key will work some day
Best regards, CN

OOOPS! My fault. Now the attached aek-file in the first post has the €-sign and you can use it via CTRL+e. please download it again.

Hi,
I know this is an old thread but i'm actually running into the same problem with a French-layout Logitech Dinovo which, when paired with both my HD2 or HD Mini running WinMo 6.5, is recognized as English (qwerty).
I'd be curious to know how to proceed:
1/ choose fingerkeyboard as phone keyboard (?)
1'/ make sure AEK has the right layout selected
2/ pair with external keyboard
The only problem would be: i don't have the french layout compliant with the Dinovo (and support seem unable to help me with this matter). How could i make one ? Does that need special skills or a special software ?
Many thanks in advance...
