N95 and Palm Universal Wireless Keyboard

4 replies · 7,004 views · Started 22 August 2007

Hey everybody, I'm a complete newbie on Symbians OS, coming from Palm and a Mac, but I'm thinking of buying a new smartphone, either the N95 or the E90. I'm already having a Palm Universal Wireless Keyboard and even have got a sort of driver for it. I only can't test it though, because I don't have a N95. This would maybe make my choice between the N95 and the E90 somewhat easier.
So the question is: has anyone already tried to connect this keyboard to the N95 and, even more important: did it work?

Thank you so much for all the answers,

Is this the infrared keyboard you are talking about or the bluetooth one?

As far as I know there is no driver for S60 v3.x (which N95 uses) for the infra red keyboard. The bluetooth one should work though, as the software comes preinstalled on every N95.

I think that Palm's universal keyboard was made by thinkoutside, so you can always try asking them for drivers.

I am, indeed, talking about the infrared keyboard and downloaded a driver from the website of Stowaway and I was wondering, if this keyboard would work with this (or another) driver.

I have the infrared keyboard aswell and so far I haven't find a working driver. The one you found is probablly an old driver that doesn't work on S60 v3 OS 9.2 anymore.
