About Developer:
Timothy Whitten developed this keyboard to use on the Dell Axim x51v and hopefully others who utilize a PDA will find this input method useful as well.

 

FAQ:
1. I can scroll up with the arrow, but not scroll down.
You don't need to scroll down, just keep typing and the view will scroll down automatically.

2. I press the "menu" key, but nothing happens.
Push it again.

3. None of the versions fit my device screen.
Send me a screenshot and tell me what device you are using, I may make a version for it.

4. How do I use the TrueVGA version on my PDA?
You must have a VGA enabled PDA (like a Dell Axim x50v / x51v). Then you have to install the correct files on your PDA:
1. x51v   (Run from PC, thanks markvan)
2. x50v

5. How do I send the text to WORD easily?
Set one of your PDA device buttons to open WORD using the device settings menu, then after you type & auto-copy your text, push your hardware device button and paste it in WORD.
