When looking for PDA accessories, I really like
products with a true "geek" factor. The Logitech KeyCase
Keyboard is definitely one of those products. At first look,
it reminds me of the velcro, waterproof wallet I had as a kid.
This is a cloth keyboard with integrated circuitry that
"feels" where on the keyboard you are striking. Because it's
made of cloth, it easily wraps around your PDA when not being used
and still fits nicely in your pocket.
The use of the keyboard
is a little less impressive to me. You really need to use it
on a hard surface for maximum stability. The keyboard and
the buttons are slightly smaller than most portable keyboards,
causing you to really have to pay attention where you have your
fingers. For me, the biggest issue is the lack of tactile
response when typing, meaning that you don't get the "clicking feel"
of a regular keyboard. This lack of feel will probably not
make this the keyboard of choice for regular
typists.
Overall this is a
pretty neat accessory. While it may not appeal to someone who
types quite a bit, this is a great product for typing the occasional
email or memo. My recommendation is to find a "demo" at the
local electronics store and try for yourself.
