The question was what model iPAQ you have.

You can get a lot of things that local stores don't have. That's what 
the Internet search was for. Good stores will order anything they don't 
have, and you can usually save a lot by ordering yourself directly.

If your iPAQ is capable of producing a wireless connection, then many 
wireless keyboards using the same technology will work. The problem is 
that the word "wireless" is pretty useless since it can mean radio and 
microwave and infrared. According to 
http://reviews.cnet.com/system-accessories/palm-universal-wireless-keyboard/4505-8896_7-31125482.html
 
your keyboard apparently uses infrared. That article has links to other 
infrared keyboards. I should think some other infrared keyboard would 
work too, but maybe not all have drivers that work with iPAQs.

As far as i understand, this is the only problem you're having:

That should be easy to solve with old-fashioned mechanical methods like 
special rubber bands or an additional case holding both the keyboard and 
the iPAQ. I'm sure your local (real) hardware store or even a carpenter 
could provide an excellent solution.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
