Thank you so much.

same deal here. im looking for a confirmed working bluetooth mouse for use with the gt-n7000.
if anyone can list any they have had success with that would be great.
even any models confirmed not to work will help narrow down the search.
i am in australia and dont care too much about the price or local availability.

What about Bluetooth keyboard? Any suggestions? I prefer foldable and has buttons for menu and back, perhaps also for SMS, phone call, etc.

Search after online shpops ala Amazon or E-Bay. You van use every Bluetooth Keyboard is compatible.
No Ultraslim so maybe the Freedom Pro?
As I look for a reasonable keyboard for my Note, allow me to lament that I can't get a Think Outside Ultraslim. After several years of heavy use, my keys started sticking but they were the best.
Freedom/ Freedom Pro have some extra buttons and are quite nice. As I write this, Amazon has the seemingly identical Verbatim version for $10 less than the Freedom Pro. aren't as good - and the one that I did buy didn't last as long - though it's what I'll likely get unless there's something better on offer.

Hey, guys! My Galaxy Tab will be here on Wednesday (very excited). I am looking at accessories for it now, and I'm kind of stuck at the keyboard option. Here's what I'm after.
- "Real" keyboard. I spend my life in front of a computer, and I don't care for the soft touch keyboards at all. Just don't feel right to me.
- Small, but not micro. I really just want a keyboard that's essentially the same as a laptop keyboard, but without the laptop.
- I don't want to go broke buying a keyboard. I don't have to tell you guys how much the tablet already cost me, and I don't want to spend a huge chunk on an input device for it.
Any and all suggestions are appreciated. Thank you so much!

There are alot of keyboard that work.
I use my Ps3 keypad. Once CM7 comes for me, I'll be using the controller and the keypad as a combo.
I never used apple's mouse. I doubt they will run on my tab.

Microsoft Mobile 6000 Bluetooth Keyboard for me - it works perfectly and you of couse can have your Tab in portrait or horizontal position.
Hi, I just bought an apple wireless keyboard today. It is light, elegant and well-priced for its quality. I am glad to report that I got it connected to my tab at first try.
Switched on Bluetooth, found the device, typed the passkey that appears on the tab screen with the apple keyboard, press enter and I got it! it works together with Samsung on-screen keyboard. Nothing to complain except that caps lock doesn't work. But I assume you could always download a driver from the market to make it work. I am happy for what I got for now.
Lastly my galaxy tab is an international model - in Australia. Hope I have helped those who were as anxious as I was while deciding whether to get the apple wireless keyboard.
Logitech keyboard for Android 3.0
This keyboard works pretty well for me. I liked this one because it has android shortcuts. Some of them do not work since it was designed for 3.0(HC). Cant wait to see HC on the 7in GTab! Then all the shortcuts should work.....

What is about leather cases with small keyboards that can be bought on Amazon or elsewhere? Do they do a job, are they worth for money? Many thanks.
I'm using a bluetooth keyboard with my Verizon Tab 10.1 (Model SCH-I905). The keyboard, which comes in a case that holds both the keyboard and Tab, is called:
eWonder Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard Case for 10-Inch Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
I purchased it on Amazon for $44, and it was very simple to setup (under 1 min), and has worked like a charm!

You can consider Aluminum bluetooth dock keyboard for GALAXY Tab 10.1, model should be P7510. but a little expensive as it looks very cool, $50.35. The online store 's name is Casesinthebox, you can google it to find the keyboard.
Well, this bluetooth keyboard is just what i use now, this one is pratical cause it is a case meanwhile, so my tablet is well protected from the dust with the multi-functional keyboard.

I have to agree with the Apple bluetooth keyboard, works like a charm, like it was made for the SGT.
my tabs is galaxy samsung tabs 10.1 I try to connected with apple bluetooth keyboard but is not working. I already followed your suggested. whats wrong. the batery is good.

I don't know if it is still available, but the Dell BT keyboard I used for my Dell Axim is the thinnest and nest I've ever seen and works great with the Note. I think it was made by 'Think Outside', and I had a neat small BT mouse too, but I have lost that one.
I've just ordered a couple of PC games that I can no longer play on my PS3 (since it died and I bought a slim one as a replacement - they're old PS2 games) and want to use the PS3 controller to play them. I've seen all over the place that it's easy to do so now I'm just left with the fact that my PC doesn't have bluetooth. I've never needed it, so it's never been an issue until now.
I just wondered if anyone has any experience with the cheap dongles that are all over ebay. You can get them for as little as £1.46 (in the current listing), but I obviously wonder about reliability and quality at that price. If they work for a year and then die then fair enough. I just want to know where I stand with them.
Incidentally, I want to do this on the cheap. I'm not a cheapskate, but I did just buy a 10" Galaxy Tab a few weeks ago and a car last week. I'm not made of money you know!
Thanks

Interesting. I didn't realise you could use it cabled as well. I'll give that a go tonight. I do still want to go down the bluetooth route for the long-term though as I just prefer to have as few cables as possible.

Okay, Well it seems the PS3 Controller uses a "CLASS 2" Bluetooth Chip, Which means, Only CLASS 2 chips will work with it.
CLASS 1 has a Bluetooth distance of 100m (average)
CLASS 2 has a Bluetooth distance of 30m (average)
Hope that helps while buying one!

Yeah, thanks. I was aware it's bluetooth 2 - I don't think bluetooth 1 was fast enough, hence most companies' choice to go with radio instead.
Yeah, we're talking at cross purposes. You can actually mix classes, especially if range is not an issue (as it's not in this case). I was obviously talking about versions, as you pointed out.
Hi All,
Can anyone recommend a decent BT keyboard to work inline with the Nexus 7??

I have this and it works great. I'd also assume the motorola one would work just as well, but I think it's pricier. You can get a generic keyboard much cheaper, but you don't get the android keys (home, back,menu,search).

I had the Motorola one and the quality was really so-so. Much nicer to type on the Logitech.
Should add that the Logitech tablet keyboard for iPad is £15 cheaper than the Android variant: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0053FAL...de=asn&creative=22206&creativeASIN=B0053FAL24
Can't see why it wouldn't work, it uses Bluetooth too. So maybe it's just the function keys that are the difference between the Android and iPad versions?
Also had a few other decent-looking bluetooth keyboards bookmarked:

I have the Touchpad keyboard. Works great with Android, and fits well in a bag. Though the media keys don't map to fn keys and there's no ALT.
The Perixx looks really good. So good that now that you've brought it to my attention I might flog my TP keyboard on eBay and get one.
I'm pretty happy with my apple keyboard heh. It's full size for typing, and small for throwing in my bag and my favorite feel for a keyboard next to my Model M. I bought it for my nook color when there weren't even decent android keyboards to buy if you wanted to. It was good to my nook, and it's even better to my nexus

I'm not trying to troll, but why do you want a keyboard for a tablet. I've never understood this. Isn't that what a laptop or netbook is for? Just curious.....maybe I'm missing something.

You can't detach the keyboard from a laptop or netbook. You also can't hold a laptop or netbook in your hands while using it. A tablet with a keyboard accessory has more versatility and portability than a laptop, the only question is whether you'll find the apps and OS sufficient to do your work.
Back to the topic, I picked up the Logitech keyboard today. Best tablet keyboard I've used so far, certainly much better than the poopy one I got with the dock on my old TF101. Pick one up if you can spare the cash.
ThinkOutside
I use my ThinkOutside BT keyboard. It works a treat. It can be a bit pricey from some places, cheaper from others, but I think they are all teh same thing. I have had mine about 5 years, and it works with almost all devices.
Pros:
1. Thin
2. Full-size keys
3. proper keys with travel (not rubber)
4. Stand for phone or small tab
Cons:
1. Price?
2. ?
Had this same issue last week and while the Logitech is good, it is expensive without getting a refurbished one.
I got a Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 5000, it works perfectly, portable and comfy to type on. Also its only $35 on amazon

Ever tried typing into a tablet, with your fingers, on a train in the UK ?
A keyboard ups the WPM dramatically
Also working well a Gigabyte GM-M7700B Bluetooth Laser Mouse.
well this might be a stupid question but I want to know if the Logitech keyboard for IPad would work on Android because they have 2 separate models 1 for Android and 1 for iPad. I happen to be traveling right now and found an iPad keyboard for 20 dollars when it's normally 70 back in Canada so I just wanted to know if it would work or not. if I recall that they both work on Bluetooth so just wondering why it wouldn't work on Android.
suppose I find the Android version. Would it work on my computer via Bluetooth as well?
May want to wait on more feedback, but if it is just bluetooth, I see no reason at all why one keyboard wouldn't work on many devices

Should work. You will probably have a few iPad-specific buttons you can't use. And of course the iPad-keyboard will lack the Android-specific buttons. At least that is what I understand is the difference between the two versions of a Kensington keyboard I have been looking into.

ipad keyboards on android.
I know the op's question was back in august. But i figured since ive been in this mission id share my findings.
Im currently using a note 2 non rooted 4.1 jb., but i also have an ipad 3 and i wanted to use the same device on both. i have experimented with a few logitech keyboards and apples own bluetooth kb. No issues at all unless u decide to bring a mouse to the equation. You may at that point go thru alot of headaches. The two main issues are spammed keys and pop up dialog boxes foe special characters while typing. Ive tried two mice and several keyboards and no luck unless i go with both apple keyboard and mouse. Downside is you lose all the function keys on the apple brand keyboard.
my local Costco (Calgary, ab) had the android version for 20 bucks right before Christmas... works great with the n7
