It works perfectly, except if your windows pc is not visible

I bought this adapter for my palm keyboard, and works flawlessy in all modes (USB and Bluetooth) and the support is very helpful with all the issues you may encounter with the device or your keyboard!

Warning: the adapter will not work if your computer is not visible/searchable on bluetooth (on windows 11), you must have the bluetooth visibility/discovery service (called “Bluetooth Support Service”) running and set to "automatic" or "manual".

Excellent engineering and seller

Fantastic communication throughout, posted quickly overseas with tracking, and the module itself (v3) is a marvel of simple yet functional engineering. Very nice work!

Brings life back to my favorite folding keyboard

Everyone has their own idea as to what a good portable keyboard could be. For me, nothing has met or come very close to the original Palm keyboards and I've tried a lot of them over the years. The Palm keyboard had properly sized keys (at least compared to a laptop) with good action. Small enough that it sits in my bad side by side with a book (or similarly sized device) in my bag. I used a Palm III and then the Palm V at conferences to take notes, as well as some light writing.

This module is as easy as can be, you charge it, plug it in, and it's ready to be used. I've connected it to a Microsoft Surface Duo and a Pixel Fold already, and it just works.

If you love the Palm keyboards, I recommend you get at least one extra - even a broken one will do. The little membranes can give out, and having spare parts is great for something that's not been made in two decades.

Great Product

I could never bring myself to throw out my old Palm Pilot portable keyboard. I'm glad I didn't. Now I use it with my iPad and iPhone, and I like it much better than other portable keyboard I have used.

Fantastic product!

I bought two adaptors, one for the Handspring and one for the M500. Both worked perfectly. Thanks for a great product.

So thrilled for this excellent item!

I have treasured my old Palm Keyboard, hoping one day to find its equal, but instead I found this lovely item! It works as a dream, all as promised and the seller was fast, both with sending and responding to questions. I want to give the very highest praise for both the item and for the sellers innovative work and handling of everything.

Excellent little gadget

I was looking for instructions for how to build this myself when I stumbled on this. I ordered and quickly got a tracking number. The tracking number indicated that the item was stuck somewhere on the journey, Xinming noticed it was stuck and sent me a replacement without me asking for it. The device itself works beautifully, is very well crafted and enables me to use my old Palm keyboard on my phone or laptop. All up a very good experience.

Brilliant!

I'm so happy! It's so nice to have a use for my old Palm keyboard. I'm really excited to use it again.

Bluetooth Adapter brings new life to Palm Portable Keyboard

Acquired aeons ago to work with my even more ancient Newton Message Pad, my Palm Keyboard had been collecting dust for over a decade. This ingenious little adapter lets me put it back to good use on my Android phone. The device comes with clear instructions and is a breeze to set up, all I had to do was to activate the correct QWERTZ layout in the OS. The seller also found an excellent and accommodating solution to a shipping issue. Great product, great service, highly recommended.

WOW

I kept my Palm V keyboard, long after getting rid of my Palm V, because it was a gift and I used it a ton during college lectures and got the best grades of my life. Amazing that I can continue to use it now. The adapter is very simple to use and the one sheet of documentation tells you everything you need to know. I do wish it had a button to forget pairing but that hasn't been a problem yet. Well done!

Great Little Product!

I had the palm portable keyboard as an undergrad in college and always loved how it folded, stored and felt when typing. Stumbled across this, purchased an old foldable palm keyboard and boom. Just like the good 'ol days. I use it on my iPad mini, iPad Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max - all work perfectly. When I want to pack light I grab this adapter, the keyboard and the mini and head off to a meeting. Great work!

Works great

I stumbled upon this adapter and decided to give it a try. I ordered it and a keyboard off ebay and it works great! Probably get a second one when they are available.

Retro cool

This little adapter is great. Paired it with a Palm III board I got off ebay and everything worked without a fuss. I can tell you the keyboard is just as satisfying to use as it looks.

Xinming was very communicative and shipped the item quickly.
