You're not alone.

It won't work. And seriously, you can't be willing to type on that
thing more than absolutely necessary. I just got myself a used 12"
Powerbook for portable typing, although I could travel lighter with
the Newt. The Newton keyboard is a crime, especially when realizing
how very efficient and ergonomic all the other hardware is.

Depending on where you are (QWERTY territory = more choice), in
descending order of looks, you could get:
- the Matias Tactile Pro 2.0
- The Happy Hacking Keyboard (there are many)
- an iMate Adaptor + Apple Extended II Keyboard off eBay
- a serial adaptor + IBM Model M off eBay
Most of these are neither exactly compact, nor pretty, and none are
BT, but they are one thing for sure: Good Keyboards.
