Used to work fine with my IPAQ.  Tried it today and I couldn't seem to enable it from the IPAQ end.  There is a little check-box which says "enable keyboard" and each time I click it the check mark would appear and then immediately disappear.  I wondered if it was because I'd restored from a backup the other week so I uninstalled and reinstalled the program.  I've got PPC 2003 if that makes any difference, and the driver for the HP G950 keyboard is version 1.0.0.  I've searched the HP website to see if they have any software updates, but I couldn't find any.  Doesn't mean there aren't any - but I find that there website can be a bit hard to navigate around.

Anybody had this problem?

If I don't fix it, the damn thing is going to EBAY! Angry

Had a similar problem with my BT keyboard from Dell.  Eventhough the light on the keyboard said it was working, I couldn't connect.  I put fresh batteries in my keyboard and it started functioning without a problem.  Never would have thought my problem was that simple Smiley

Just in case anybody else has this prob.  I got a resolution by going to the HP Forums and posting a question in their IPAQ thread.  The answer was:

Uninstall the keyboard, install BT keyboard driver update from
http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/HandheldiPAQ/us/download/22441.html
and then install keyboard again.

Keyboard works fine, however my old problem of multiplying ampersands has recurred.  When using the keyboard, you can use shortcuts to access menu options.  When you show the menu option, these shortcuts appear as ampersands i.e.

&Beam Document...
S&end via E-mail...

Each time I open the menu item, an extra ampersand gets added, even if I'm not using the keyboard.

It ends up looking really wierd,   Huh &&&&&Beam Document.... and S&&&&&end via E-mail...

Not a really critical problem.  At least the keyboard is working now, but I would have expected that to have gone away after installing the new driver.

Does anyone else have this problem, or is it just me?
