The Stowaway keyboard is a full-size keyboard when open but folds instantly to about the size of your Jornada. This portable keyboard has the same key spacing as a standard desktop keyboard so it's comfortable to use. Plus, at only 7.9 ounces it won't weigh you down. This Stowaway portable keyboard is compatible with HP Jornada 520, 540, and 560 series Pocket PCs. Installation of the Keyboard application onto your HP Jornada is done simply via Setup Assistant from the included CD-ROM. Because the Stowaway keyboard only needs power while it is actually being used, the effect on the overall battery life of your Jornada will be minimal. To operate the keyboard with your handheld, click the Stowaway keyboard open from its folded position, lay it flat, and slide the keyboard parts together (it's separated into thirds for folding). Then, simply attach your handheld and start typing in a text-based program. You can do virtually all your work without taking your fingers off the keyboard with the Stowaway. The four custom keys on the right side of the keyboard (Inbox/Notes, Contacts/Word, Calendar/Excel, Tasks/Money) are preprogrammed shortcut keys to activate certain applications, but they can be customized with the Keyboard application. Placing the keyboard on a firm, flat surface offers the best results, because of the folding design. However, you can use it on your lap as long as the keyboard is supported by a magazine or book across its open expanse. --Agen G.N.

It came like new and was long way helpful with my current handheld. I became fond of TARGUS: they do things right! ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars Too Big, Too Expensive *by S***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2002* I bought both the Targus Stowaway and the HP Pocket Keyboard for the HP Jornada 568. What did I end up using ALL the time? The Pocket Keyboard. Targus had a great idea when they first came out with this keyboard, but the latest crop of pocket keyboards makes the Stowaway look like a technological dinosaur. If you MUST have a full-size keyboard, buy the Stowaway, but realize that you're not going to be able to use it in many conditions (i.e., on a bus or train with no flat, hard surface to put the keyboard on). You CAN use the Pocket Keyboard virtually anywhere, and it is about half the price. Of course, you'll be typing with your thumbs instead of the rest of your digits, but I found that the Pocket Keyboard was much more useful. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, but not as sturdy as I'd like *by Z***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2001* I owned my Jornada 548 for about a month before I broke down and bought a keyboard. After laying out about $500 for the Jornada, another $100 for a peripheral seemed pretty steep ... until I started trying to use the handwriting tools (not bad if you have consistent handwriting habits) and the on-screen keyboard. Neither seemed to work really well for me, so I broke down and bought a Targus keyboard. It really has worked well for me, but it's not as good as it could be.The concept is great - the keyboard folds up to the size of the 548 when it's not in use, but unfolds to the size of a laptop keyboard when you're ready to use it. The keyboard has a connector that sits at about a 45-degree angle and plugs into the Jornada, plus a little metal bar and plastic piece that supports the Jornada when it's plugged in. There is also a place to plug in a power supply so that you can keep your Jornada plugged in, and two small wells in the corners of the keyboard to hold a stylus.The keyboard itself works well, with function keys for some common commands across applications (OK, Esc, power off) and other keys that can be programmed to start up specific applications. In addition, certain characters like the forward and backward slashes (/ and \) cannot be written in the single-character recognizer because the stylus strokes are used for other purposes, so the keyboard helps take care of that. Because the keyboard is laid out like a laptop keyboard, you don't need to relearn most of your typing, as long as you remember that you can't use function keys like you do on your laptop.One thing it won't do, however, is select menu items with shortcuts, as you can do in Windows proper, but this is a Windows CE issue, not a keyboard issue. Another slight drawback is that the Jornada interprets your use of the keyboard as using the on-screen keyboard, so it displays the on-screen keyboard for you, which then takes up the lower third of your screen.I've also had a couple of issues with the keyboard - one is that the support for the Jornada is not great, so you have to use two hands to turn it on with the power button, and the other is that the keyboard occasionally freezes up. I've been able to correct it either by activating the special keyboard application, disabling the keyboard, and re-enabling it, or by using the on-screen keyboard to type a letter. Neither is a real show-stopper, but they certainly are annoyances.Overall, the keyboard is a great time-saver, and it will certainly draw attention, especially when you fold it up and store it. The size of the keyboard and PC combined may be a drawback for some, and the way in which it works could be a little better. I'd still recommend it if you intend to do a lot of typing on your Jornada. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/182110262-targus-pa820u-stowaway-portable-keyboard-for-hp-jornada](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/182110262-targus-pa820u-stowaway-portable-keyboard-for-hp-jornada) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
