The Palm Wireless Keyboard has worked pretty well for me. It
will work with both of your units, although not both at the same
time, obviously. Just install the driver on both units, and
either will work with the keyboard. Google should give you lots
of choices for places to buy. Ads are not difficult to find on
the web.

I bought a DConnex " Wireless IR Keyboard". A lovely unit but now and again,
it get confused and will only type 1 instead of J and K instead of 2 etc but
it works on the Vx and Zire 71..The Palm keyboard that slots into my Vx is
far cooler though..classic design. I just lovely looking at it
