I'm currently using Resco Keyboard instead of the built-in one on my XDA Mini, simply cos it looks a lot nicer.
Can any recommend any other keyboard software that's good? I've tried TenGo and Fitaly, but I don't really want anything fancy that tries to speed up input time but re-arranging keys, etc.
Cheers

Spb's FSK? http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/fsk/?en
I use Calligrapher 8.3 for a couple of reasons. It has a shift key on both sides, and you can create a customized numeric and "special key" keyboard in addition to the keyboard. That special keyboard comes in very handy for entering in contacts.
It's a bit pricey at 39.99USD, and I've found that the other features of Calligrapher aren't for me, but there's no denying that you get a lot more for the money than just the great keyboards it provides.
Hi
Does there exist something like http://www.mulliner.org/bluetooth/xkbdbthid.php for Windows Mobile?
The Windows Remote Desktop client for the Nokia 770 (lovely 800x480 screen!) requires use of an external BT keyboard, and since I already carry my HTC Hermes with me, and the Nokia depends on it for GPRS Internet access, it makes sense to use /it/ as the keyboard. Is this possible?
Google has only turned up physical folding keyboards, or replacements for MS's own on-screen keyboard (for use in WM only)
Cheers,
Gavin.
push!
I'm searching for exactly the same thing, does anybody know something like this?
regards
for now this is the solution which is the closest by far:
anyRemote
otherwise tuxmobil.org has some programs listed, but nothing really compareable to xkbd-bthid. sadly.
Any luck for this software?
I am coming from SE K800i which included a wonderful bluetooth HID remote control that was so much customizible... and having something similar on a WinMo (SE X1) will be great...
it looks like MobileRemote from mobilesrc
Hi all,
I just had an idea: I was wondering, if it is possible to connect the X1 either by bluetooth, WLAN or USB to the PC and use the X1 keyboard as a keyboard for the PC.
I was also thinking, that the touchscreen could be used as a kind of touchpad (like on notebooks) to control the mouse pointer on a connected PC.
So I was searching the Internet if anybody wrote a software that can just do this, but had no luck. So my question is: Does anybody know a software that can just do this?
Cheers,
foo
P.S.: I know there are some remote controls for winamp & co but this is not what I'm looking for. Actually I'd like to have something like this for a much more smaller amount of money by using my xperia and a special software.

There's something on this very forum for a VERY small amount of money - all you have to do is learn how to search and it's yours. I'll even give you a clue - it' in the "Development & Hacking" section.
Go here http://t2remotetouch.blogspot.com
Is there a thing like that that use bluetooth only? like a usual bluetooth keyboard or mouse.
like that: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/features/bluetooth.mspx
Thanks kostis60, this goes in the right direction, though it lacks the touchpad feature which I'd need really badly. This app is more like "Windows Remote Desktop" or VNC.

Are you also referring to the application mentioned by kostis60 or is there something else?

nueUSBkeyboard is what I use - nt bothered about track pad - I think there is something that works with this but not sure of name.
And there's a paid for prg that works over bluetooth aswell but again its name slips my mind
Check out Pebbles. It allows controlling of the PC via Touchpad and Keyboard (Hard- and Softwarekeyboard). It is for free and works via Bluetooth and Wifi.
Nice Gadget but a wireless mouse and keyboard is more convenient from my perspective.
You could also use MS Remote Desktop Client to atke remote control of your PC.
Also LogMeIn works even better.
I think he is more looking for software to make the device a mouse/keyboard, not remote desktop software. These are two very different things. +1 for nueUSBkeyboard though.
Mobileremote by mobilesrc is what you are looking for.
Works like a charm for me.

MobileSRC MobileRemote Xperia Issues
Okay, is it just me or is anybody else having the following issue with the Xperia keyboard when using MobileSRC MobileRemote..?
When I use the keyboard all of the 'Blue' characters are displayed rather than the letters. The only button that also has a 'Blue' character assigned to it which works correctly is 'Q'.
The buttons without 'Blue' characters (A, S, D, F, G, @, Z, X, C, V, RETURN, TAB, DEL) work fine.
'W' gives me ", 'E' gives me /, 'R' gives me & and so on.
Shift doesn't work either.
I've tried pressing the blue button, Sym and everything else but no change.
Any ideas?
Regards
Sonny

I have the same issue, but the developer announced a new bugfix release in the next couple of weeks also including some bugfixes for hardware keyboards.
I had tried this application before. At that time, it didn't yet work well with the X1. Now, however, it's getting really close to being fully functional.. nice!
Current issues I find annoying:
- HW keyboard support (always in FN mode)
- Touchpad can't go fullscreen (except for LMB and RMB ofc)
- Connecting it is a bit awkward (though should be full auto in retail version)
I'll soon be buying a media center with my TV. I'm hoping I can get my X1 to be the HID. Little more fixes and this app will do all I need.

I bought the application and connecting works like a charm.
As I need the touchpad functionality most of the time, I bought it even with the keyboard problem - still worth the money for me
In case I have to enter something, I switch to the software keyboard.
try this
sailing clicker -
does exactly what you ask...with extra media player functions etc.

Aye, I'll be waiting for a proper release, might buy it then.
Hi - has anyone found a decent notes taking tool that uses a stylus for handwritten notes ?
using my Ipad with a simple Pogo i can get really useful results but i havent found any App for the Acer yet that seems to be of any use.
Nope, neither diopen not flex speak.tap.write.trace work for me.
I haven't found ANY keyboard app that does handwriting, let alone properly!.
I only know Handrite, don't know if it is what you are looking for
FlexT9 keyboard has a handwriting feature that works ok. It would probably work alot better with a stylus, but I've only ever tried it with my finger.
thanks all, tried i think pretty much all apps that accept finger (stylus) writing but not a single one of them gives any kind of legible notes. Shame as even the freebies on the Ipad are pretty good, and i REALLY want to use my Acer more for meetings and this is an absolute necessity to be able to to that -
Freenote is the best app I've found in the market for handwriting notes. I tried Pensupremacy and tabnotes before this. Bought both of them actually and freenote beats them both in my opinion. I use it for all my meetings now and dont have to carry a notebook, you can write and draw on the same page. embed pictures and stuff as well.
Hello,
I'd like to use software virtual keyboard in portrait mode, maybe pressing a combination or whatever... Any ideas?
I read http://www.droidforums.net/forum/mo...-way-force-screen-keyboard-portrait-mode.html
No intelligent answers.
In my case pocketcloud remote desktop does not get numbers to the remote session.
Plus one hand is easier while driving
Any hints?
smart keyboard pro
This got me a little further
Smart Keyboard got me one step closer to what jojomi is trying to do, thanks Rafeee2.
Smart Keyboard is the first aftermarket keyboard that has worked for me at all on my Droid Pro.
It will display just fine in landscape mode after editing some of the advanced settings.
However, I still can't get it to come up in portrait mode which would be nice...
Yes, I know it has a portrait physical keyboard but, depending on the situation you are in, it would be nice to have the option of an on screen keyboard as well.
rdp 2x client w/ sw keyboard and Free Working Keyboard
Hello and thanks for your replies.
I tried smart keyboard but it does not work portrait mode.. how did you do the test? Enable it as default and it does not show up like the multitouch from motorola.
What are you trying to do PEZ Dispenser?
Anyway with RDP I found a midwise solution: 2x client has a great software keyboard, alas not what I wish to use on such a small screen while on rdp and others have only hw working
Cheers!
Just adding that the app from ericom and AnRdp work, both differently with rdp on droid pro. Disappointed by wyse pocketcloud pro I bought not working on this phone
Well it would be nice to type with one hand and that is a little difficult with the pro hardware keyboard.
Ultimately I would like to get swype working in protrait mode but I will settle for it just working in landscape mode.
Smart Keyboard is super useful for use in the terminal emulator and when using vnc.
Swype would be ideal for sms so it would be great to have that working as well.
I will investigate RDP and 2x Client's app.

I find the hardware keyboard to be great for one-handed typing. Swype might be a little faster for that, but I'd get frustrated with the small screen size and the increased errors it would bring about.
One would think there would be a relatively simple way to do this, but I guess Motorola figured that people who buy this phone are doing so for the hardware keyboard, so they left out any straightforward settings for it.
