Opinions: GoType! for Visor keyboard
| chippy | DOES NOT FIT VISOR PRISM (COLOR VISOR) | 
| I bought the Gotype because its overall quality seems good. Unfortunately, it does not fit the Color Visor Prism. The packing claims for all Visors. I have to return it. |
| bjskelly | Yup! Works for Me | 
| I've read comments by users of both of the popular keyboards. I think that input and output devices are kind of a personal thing, and I would never think the less of a person that chooses one brand over another. The biggest complaint against this keyboard is that the key spacing is non standard. Having said that, I seemed to adapt rather quickly.
In fact, after just playing around with it for a few minutes, I felt good enough about the GoType! to take minutes at my club meeting. |
| gorrak | I love it |
| I have big hands and at first had some problems typing but after a few minutes I was up to speed. It's sturdier than the stowaway, can be used in your lap, easy to set up, and comes with a great word porcessor and thesaurus. This keyboard is an excellent value. |
| beccasue | Convenient way to enter data and take notes |
| I've been using my GoType keyboard to take notes in my college classes, which always peaks the interest of other students. It's kind of small, but sturdy (which I need!) and I can type pretty quickly on it. I'd buy again, if given the chance. |
| Captain Beyond | Like It! |
| I have BOTH the STOWAWAY (two of them -don't ask)..and really wanted to get the GO!TYPE. So I did, and must say I really prefer this keyboard to most of my general needs. I use this at HOME..and take the folding one on the road. Works great in your lap!LANDWARE folks are to be credited for their great support -I have read many USENET posts from their supportpersonnel. I would guess this same level of support is offered over the phone. Makes a great addition to your other Visor accessories. BUY IT and support our great vendors! |
| Anonymous | Solid |
| I had a "throwaway" for about three days before the "Q" and "W" keys came off. Had trouble sliding the thing together too. I have never had a problem with my Gotype. |
| techalan | The extras alone make this the better keyboard |
| Are you kidding? Fist off, you can use it in your lap easily. Second, it has an excellent WP program. Third, it's also a USB sync cradle. Fourth, it's $30 cheaper. I have had one for my VDX since day one and I'd never switch to a Stowaway. I have yet to use one of the Targus/Stowaway keyboards that actually closed properly. A good friend purchased the Stowaway for his Vx, and returned it after using my GoType. (a bonus for Vx users, it works as a cradle *and* a recharging stand)
Landware has the rest beat thus far. |
| Bobby Meeks | Can't beat the value! |
| It took much deliberation, and I am glad I chose the GoType. It is much tougher. I cracked the screen on my VDx the first week I had it, so that was my main concern. I tried the Stowaway at CompUSA and it was just too flimsy feeling even when on a solid flat surface. I can take the GoType and do spreadsheets in bed - not to mention the ability to USB hotsync out of the box. Not as cool looking as the other - but very functional. The free software is great too. If the Stowaway were cheaper then it would be a different story. |
| Nick C | Good basic keyboard |
| The GoType! is a perfectly decent keyboard if you don't want to shell out extra for a Stowaway. The keys might be a little small, but they're easy enough to get used to. In addition, the software bundled with it is a good complement to the hardware. I especially like the fact that you don't need a cradle to HotSync. |
| Tom. | It replaces the laptop computer for me! |
| I received the GoType bundle for a gift, and I now am now not interested in a laptop computer anymore. The functions are simple to understand, and any application software is available for all of my business and travel applications.
