(More customer reviews)I have an HTC HD2 running ChuckyRom Winmo and DarkStone Froyo2.2 with Cyanogenmod 6.1. In Winmo the keyboard works as intended and does essentially what I want it to do. However, when I boot into Android (which I use as my main OS), the keyboard does not work.
The product comes with a CD and what it leads you to believe are the necessary drivers to run the keyboard. I installed the program and then tried running it, only to repeatedly get an error saying the one time registration had failed, and the program closed. After some searching on Google I finally find that the manufacturer hasn't renewed their license with the company that provides the software drivers for the phone. After spending 28 dollars on the keyboard, I find that I now have to pay an additional 10 euros to download the software that the manufacturer claimed would come with the product.
Additionally, I haven't been able to get the keyboard functioning on an Android build that doesn't have Cyanogenmod 6.1 installed, so if you're running a stock phone it seems like you're S.O.L. there too Be aware of this product and the countless other "mini bluetooth keyboards" that are seemingly made by different manufacturers but are all exactly the same product. Using multiple brands for the same product is usually a sign of a disreputable company.
As for the keyboard itself, it's very light and feels sort of cheap, but it is sturdy enough. The power switch is a bit difficult to slide, and the mini-USB port doesn't seem to be very well attached. My power light flickers and turns off frequently while charging, and wiggling the wire around usually brings it back on for a while.
Overall, this is a very cheaply made product, but unfortunately it seems like its the only bluetooth keyboard of its size available at the moment for a reasonable price. If you are running Android, I strongly suggest you DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT.
