I don't know why nobody else follows the news about the new wireless keyboard from Belkin, but it's out, folks! Belkin Wireless PDA keyboard Part # F8U1500 It says it's compatible w/ Sony CLIE S/N/T/SL/SJ/NR/series handhelds. I'm getting mine right now for $59.99 (ex shipping charge: $12.25) from the belkin website. If anyone finds a better price, please please post a reply ASAP so that I can cancel this order. ^_^ p.s. I got my MSX-256 today only to find out that it won't work with Open MG or Sonic Stage. I use MD and I'd love to use the .omg files, but oh well... Will they release an update for those programs? It says on the support site that they suggest using the regular magic gate instead of pro for atrac3 files for now. Last edited by deuxist95 : 04-21-2003 at 03:13 PM.*

deuxist95 Guest Posts: n/a	No~~~~~ Ok, I got the keyboard from Belkin anyway since I have a 30 day warranty, but the keyboard does not support the OS5, yet. I'm waiting to hear from the tech support when they'd release the driver. When I get the date, I'll post it here. So, yeah... don't buy it, yet. What is it about the OS5 that makes it so difficult for the developers to program a driver? I don't understand. Moving up to OS5 wasn't as drastic as moving up from Win 98 to 2K, was it?

It's supposed to work on native devices and for future stuff. __________________ Cheers! Larry Winward T\|T3 + SE T610 + SE HBH-65 = BT Heaven! Last edited by n2ifp : 04-21-2003 at 05:14 PM.

The package clearly states that it works with the NX. It does not work with the NX. Belkin technical support told me that it was a packaging error. However, they forwarded me on to the customer support and they are sending me a relpacement G700 keyboard at no cost. The customer support person at Belkin was just outstanding to deal with after the frustrating experience of buying the wireless keyboard in California and then returning home in Montana where there is no way to return the deveice.

Then I got the NX and found out that there probably won't be a driver for OS5! Anyone need a wireless keyboard attractively priced???? __________________ ...

I could not get it to work and called Belkin tech support. They told me that there was a 'packaging error' and the the NX70 is not supported. They are replacing teh F8U1500 with the G700 at no cost. Have not yet received teh G700.
