Snap On does work with Prism.

I too am waiting for a full review on these products by VisorCentral. Any word on when we can expect one?

Also, with the SnapNType do you have to push the symbol key each time you want to enter a numeral? That seems like it could be a pain. But, does having fewer (larger) buttons make it easier to use over the Thumboard?

Caps Lock

My ThumBoard has a caps lock button which is useful for some QuickSheet entries. I wonder if SNT has the same for numbers and capital letters.

Where did you get the 1.1 driver? Seiko's website still has the 1.0 driver that I got on the disk in the package?

And more importantly I guess, does the driver do anything besides fix compatability problems with modems?

(Love the Thumboard too - best 40 bucks I've spent on my Visor)

Send me an email and I will attach it to the response.
I tried to attach it to this reply, but VC doesn't allow attachments other than .txt and .jpg.

Don't know if it does anything new or not, but I downloaded 1.1 last week when I messed up the diskette opening the package.

Like my ThumBoard so far. Taking alot of time to get used to where the various keys are. I keep wanting a shift button on both sides like a PC keyboard. And I wish the Command key were down with the letters instead of the extreme top right with the Buttons.

So far, I've maxed out at about 25 wpm.

Does anyone else own the Fellowes Pocket Keyboard? I picked that up last week, and it's very similar to the other two, except that it hangs down below the Visor, and the "keys" are actually just a touch-sensitive surface. I've been thrilled with it, and they have them for all Visors but the Edge, and most Palm Pilots.

Yeah I've noticed that at CompUSA stores. It looked flimsy to me, because I thought you had to push the keys, guess that's not the case. Do you think it doesn't stress the hotsync connector port?
The other mini-keyboards just looked like they were positioned better for thumb typing. How do you hold the Visor/PocketKeyboard combo?

For hand typing, I hold the Visor in one hand and the tap on the keyboard with the other. It also has a fold-out stand for table typing.

Since the keys require no pressure to activate (they work with the slightest touch) the stress on the Hotsync port is nil. I'd actually expect the keyboard connector to break before the Visor did.

Someone mentioned a WPM program. Where can I find that? I'd love to compare my Graffiti vs. the keyboard vs. my Gotype.
