Palm's old Bluetooth Keyboard is reported by our own WyreNut to work.

I am also trying to find a mini Bluetooth keyboard. I live In the Netherlands but have a US touchpad. Accessories are a bit difficult to come by here.

There are some Palm BlueTooth keyboards and Stowaways on amazon.com, but they're asking $160 - $175 USD for them!

I bought the HP Bluetooth keyboard for my Touchpad.  I paid $29.99 USD from HP Store.  It is an excellent product.

 

Note: I just revisited HP Store.  It appears that the keyboards have been sold.  Now, I get the reason for this post.

onSale had/have the HP Bluetooth TouchPad Wireless Keyboard for $24.99 + shipping. Had it paired up under a minute and using it in the car.
  With a Targus Truss case, laid the TouchPad over the steering wheel. The HP keyboard at the bottom of the wheel - away I went with typing - and playing with the buttons.

 

  The only thing I have done was so simple, yet keeps the switch from turning on accidentally.
  When the switch is turned on there may be a green flash from the LED - this indicates the search & find mode. So wanting to know when it was off I had painted the other side of the switch with red fingernail polish.
  This in turn also gave the switch a slight build-up on one side which meant it needed a lightly harder push to enable. As such there would be no accidental enabling of the power switch. :smileywink:



Note: Red was the only color I had on hand, and used red to match the bezel of my XPS 630i's trim. The buttons and trim were red, but the power light was a blinding white, so bought some red fingernail polish and painted that red. Easy fix!

I use a Nokia Wireless Keyboard SU-8W which I bought a few years ago.  It works perfectly.

I think they're still available.
