    I use the digikey item mentioned earlier (it's on page one... I clicked on the wrong reply), and a wireless Logitech keyboard from Walmart. It was just plug and play on the Maemo side. I could even alternate between the built in and the wireless. I didn't even have to worry about keyboard layout (I modded the rx-44 file to get pipe, curlys and whatnot).


    Only issue is that something in EasyDebian (possible the Xephyr binary) doesn't want to play nice with multiple input devices. So there, I have to pick one keyboard layout and live with it.

    Same cable also works for hooking up my USB key.

In fact, it feels pretty natural, and is almost as comfortable to use as my regular keyboard.
    I recommend the same keyboard, very easy to configure and use, take small place when folded, and has a very good battery life.
    You can find it on ebay.
