User Opinions: GoType! for Visor keyboard


chippyDOES NOT FIT VISOR PRISM (COLOR VISOR)

Thumbs Down

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.

bjskellyYup! Works for Me

Thumbs Up

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.

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.

Thumbs Up

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.

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!

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.

techalanThe extras alone make this the better keyboard

Thumbs Up

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 MeeksCan't beat the value!

Thumbs Up

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 CGood basic keyboard

Thumbs Up

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!

Thumbs Up

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.
