has anyone tried out one of these keyboards?

I have the regular fold-up freedom bluetooth keyboard, but I've had to use the kbdd driver for it. Also, after awhile even the folding part is losing its shine. I still want something smaller. Those frogpads look pretty cool, but $130 for a little keyboard?

I know 2006 doesn't have a bluetooth keyboard driver working well yet, but I'm willing to wait. I'd like to get some opinions first. But then again, this keyboard is only $70, which although still expensive seems much more reasonable to me.

I have one - you can get it cheaper on ebay (I got mine for $45). It is flimsy and the build quality is suspect (its stand busted off on the first day). I have yet to try it...

Could you point me in the right direction on how to get the big Freedom Keyboard to work? I thought it couldn't be done, as it uses a non-standard BT protocol and requires drivers from the manufacturer.

Thanks.

but freedom keyboard curently compiled in kbdd has french layout so either yo can remap those keys or recompile with changed table

Thanks. However... mine is a QWERTZ, and I'm not very good at compiling. I have considered changing the keyboard layout to QWERTY, but I really don't know if this is doable. Maybe with some sort of home-made stickers.

But, as I said: Thanks.
