Hmmmm... that Chinese one that interests me, I wonder if it's the same manufacturer as this:

I have a keyboard that looks VERYsimiliar to the 'SurpTime' bluetooth keyboard. And after some tinking its working.

So, I bought this keyboard at Fry's, its called a 'Golden Lantern Bluetooth Freedom Keyboard. (Freedom Keyboard ). If you follow the steps listed here its pretty easy to sort out. Right now I have to run a xterm and then the program by hand. But its workable. Since I spent some time tinkering with it I figured I'd at least post that its confirmed and working. I at first thought I was going to have to give up and return the keyboard because there's no HID profile on it. But as always, there's a way around everything

Got it for $99 at Fry's!

Your links don't work for me. Which Freedom KB do you have? The one that folds or the handheld one?

I'd see how it worked first. After all, it offers:
"Universal wireless connection to bluetooth PDA, PCC, snart phones."

Priceless.

I'm considering a frogpad but I don't know if I want to deal with both technical compatibility AND learning curve at the same time.

Thats weird, I did the whole url thing and all. Well, I'll put the links in by hand then.

Its the folding one. So far its working pretty well. I have to start the script by hand but otherwise it works just fine. There's no ESC key but I can live with that. Everything else seems to work just fine with it so I'm pretty pleased.

This is the link to kbdd to get it working with the 770

Great price, but I don't think that HID is an issue at this time - it's not supported (but I sure hope so, a mouse would be cool).

BTW, the problem with your posted links is an extra "http//" got inserted.
