Very easy and not tiring to type with one’s thumbs while on the go, and quite fast, although a bit awkward to type with multiple fingers. This keyboard type is a must-have for people with big thumbs, because the keys are small, hard and spaced apart and can be felt easier than laptop-style or bubble keys.
F11 and F12 are accessible via FIXME.
FIXME — List the complete keyboard layout, including all special keys and special characters.
TODO – Where is the pause key?
Scan codes are broken:
- Cannot use alt codes! (203 = e with accent)
- FIXME: map the alt-codes.
Be careful not to hit the enter or space bar on the side, it could break. Not generally a concern.
The Newton keyboard can be adapted to the HP 200LX adaptable keyboard (a custom program must be run, freely available, and a patch cable must be fabricated)

The Jordana 430SE keyboard can be adapted for the 200lx / HP Windows CE device ($140USD).
- Requires a standard serial port adapter (connectivity kit)
A “real” keyboard can be plugged into the HP Palmtop, which you can now do with the HP 95LX and Centronics new Dock 101 keyboard (won’t work with all programs, some poll the palmtop keyboard. Also, this keyboard requires an AC outlet)
- FIXME – get a link
