It has the same android keys as the bigger logitech one, but it's cheaper AND has a trackpad. I picked one up :good:

Ordered one as well. The HP Touchpad keyboard is pretty functional, but the built in touchpad and android specific keys on the Motorola forced me to purchase.

Got mine delivered today, I like it a lot. Not as flimsy as I feared. Though it feels "cheap" compared to the Touchpad keyboard. The keys are some kind of plastic that just feels really cheap to me. Trackpad is nice, would have been awesome if it supported multitouch, but I'll take what I can get for the price. Android specific keys are a bonus. One disappointment is that the music shortcut keys don't appear to do anything when in some other apps. One the homescreen, it starts up some music. Just some rambling thoughts on the product...

I ordered this as well. How does the track pad respond? Is it in a comfortable position to use? I'm anxiously awaiting mine. I hope I made the right choice and picked this over the HP.

Trackpad isn't bad. I don't know that I'd call it responsive. The pointer moves fairly slowly, not sure if there's a way to adjust the speed or not (should add that it's not like you have a ton of screen real estate to mouse across, so it doesn't really matter). I haven't really had much opportunity yet to mess with it.
One kind of cool thing is that opening the trackpad drawer wakes the screen up. Something does. Sometimes it wakes up when I pick it up, not sure what is triggering it.
My only real gripe so far is just the material the keys are made out of. Though, as long as I'm griping, I prefer matte plastic to glossy as well.

If you go into Language and Input there is an option for pointer speed.

Yeah, found the setting and made some adjustments.
It's pretty responsive, some occasional failures to respond to taps (like I have to tap again to get it to do whatever, it's pretty infrequent though).
The keyboard is nice, love the Android specific keys, kind of ambivalent about the touchpad. It's nice to have (and was a good deal), but not something I'd pay extra for. I think I'd prefer what appears to be the updated version with a pointer nub instead.
edit: Rage at my palms brushing against the touchpad, so annoying.

T'is back for $29:

After having used it a little more extensively, I'm kind of thinking the trackpad isn't worth it. The inability to do any multitouch gestures really hold it back. I find that the trackpad doesn't really offer that much to the whole experience. Some little things that hold it back that you either can't do or I don't know how to do.
One example is there doesn't seem to be a way to open the notification drawer. I'll click on the status bar and it'll flash like it wants to open, but nothing happens. Same effect if you were to just tap on it with your finger. There's no click-drag thing like you'd have on a Windows laptop. For $30, the trackpad is a bonus. I wouldn't pay extra for it though.

I hate that us Canucks can never get these damned deals. Grr.......

Agreed. I know now have used mine and needless to say I'm disappointed with the track pad. The keyboard is definitely justifiable for its size, build, and and shortcuts. The track pad though... Is junk. You can pull the notification bar down but to press and hold and drag seems like it would break soon. But whatever needed something because these keyboards and docks for the N7 don't seem to be rushed.

I got my keyboard in yesterday and have been playing with it for a while. As a keyboard it's great, it types fast and accurately and has some nice Android hotkeys. The keys feel plasticky (because they are) but they're kind of a matte finish which is grippy. The trackpad is a nice bonus, nothing amazing but it works in place of a mouse in a pinch. Unfortunately it doesn't support gestures (it says it does, but I guess its only for Motorola devices). It does have a physical click, so you can use that or a double tap and drag around in place of a swipe. Overall I like it, `it feels solid and has a nice weight plus some extra features. For the deal price it's a great keyboard, if I paid the full MSRP it would be lacking.

LOL, there's a physical click somewhere? Can't wait to get home to see how I missed it.
I have yet to get that double tap and drag to work, just wasn't happening for me.

I almost missed it too. Although based on the angle I feel like I'm going to break it while pushing down to click. The click and drag is borderline impossible. I think I'm going to only use it when there's no surface for a mouse around in a real pinch.

What do you know, it is clicky. To be honest, I find the trackpad to be much more useful now. On a hard surface, it's just resistant enough that you won't accidently trigger it. I find myself able to drag and click fairly easily.
If only gestures worked...

[REVIEW] Detachable Bluetooth Keyboard + Folding Synthetic Leather Case Stand

I was in the market for a case with a keyboard included, and there are a ton out there. This one caught my eye because of the included sd card reader. I actually thought that it was going to be a mini-usb connection, but if I just read more carefully, I would seen that it says USB in plain sight. Anyway, not that big of a deal, Im sure there are mini-usb to usb converters I could snag. I just received this this today and overall Im pretty happy with it so far.

This is the packaging it came in... Pretty standard, I guess. Not much to say about this portion of the review, moving on.
Its definitely not real leather, as indicated by the title. But, Im actually impressed with the feel of it. Now, I haven't been in the tablet crowd for very long. This is my second tablet to a Toshiba Thrive. I didn't buy a case for it. I bought a sleeve case for my Nexus 7 before this one, and it was pretty handy. However, this one is just what I was looking for in a case. The Nexus 7 slides right in to the sleeve part on the top and is a great fit. The opening for the screen gives enough room on all sides. The camera cutout, also, gives enough room for it's intended purpose as well.
I've read around that a lot of people dislike keyboards with tablets, but I think it's quite handy. I'm getting away from using my computer almost completely because of how advanced these tablets are getting and a keyboard gives me that extra push. The keyboard with this case definitely takes some getting used to, but not as much as I thought it would. I'm writing this review with it now, in fact.
The response of the keys are pretty spot on. Every once in a while I'll miss a keystroke due to the fact that I'm not used to the compact style yet. The layout of the keys are a tad different, but I do think that it is a form factor for these smaller keyboards. Enlighten me if this is not the case. The special function keys work as well... There are volume keys, a shortcut for email, music playback keys, and much more. They all seem to work well. It was easy as anything else as far as connecting it to the tablet via bluetooth. I think I read that you can get upwards of 50 hours of typing time on it before it needs a charge. Also, it has some blue LEDs built in, giving it a nice look when you turn it on and pair the device. The keyboard is secured by magnets, which I just found out as I lifted it off of the case. Nice feature, now that I can just sit back and type with the tablet a few feet in front.
I read about a case being titled a "Smart Case" and this one is indeed a smart case. Whenever you close the device, the tablet turns off, and sure enough, opening it turns it on. Great idea and great functionality with this case.
Here's the card reader. Nothing too special, but small enough to where I can get an inline adapter and connect it via the miniusb port and have some extra space when I need it. Glad it came with the case.
So, there you have it as far as my review goes. I'm very happy with this case, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a well made case that comes with a keyboard. It's not too expensive, but it's not the cheapest one out there either. Well worth it in my opinion.
*EDIT* Forgot to post pictures of the case closed:

Thanks for the review. Much appreciated
Can you post pics of it using the kickstand?
I'm trying to decide whether I should get this (along w/ a wireless mouse) so I can use my Nexus 7 at work for meetings, taking notes, etc.
Or if I should go with one of the more traditional keyboards, like the Logitech -- http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Tablet-Keyboard-Android-920-003390/dp/B0054L8N7M?tag=notebookscom-20
Thanks for the review. But there two things stopping me from buying a bluetooth keyboard.
One is the reliability factor. I'm tired of getting burned by the no names. My last corded keyboard lasted one day.
Second is the flatness of all the keys. Most bluetooth keyboards have the same flat keys that is hard to feel them apart.
I've seen a couple with better keys, like the one below, but they have the cutout for Galaxies and not Nexus. Even then, I'm still considering one of them and cutting the 'leather' to fit he Nexus inputs. But the reliability fear doubles when I think of that.
So, as of right now I feel stuck. I will ask you again next month to see how well the board is holding. Until then I will keep looking around for something that matches what I want.

Posted the same picture twice on last post... oops. But there are some pics of the stand.

Leather cases to me look horrible.
I don't know if its just my style or what but I don't like them.
Is the keyboard detachable from the case?
Or is it in-built?
Thanks for the review btw !

Kickstarter Idea- TouchCover for Note 2...(PICS!)

I would be glad to entertain the idea of putting this up on kickstarter if there is enough interest. Would require a hefty amount of research and dev however.

I suppose this could work with bluetooth. Typing on something that small would not be enjoyable. It would be neat though

cool idea but how are you going to type on it and support the screen at the same time?

My idea for that would be to integrate a sleek kickstand on the back of the case.
Currently I would say that the back plate would have to integrate some sort of kickstand. I think this wouldnt be too hard to do. Also, if you lay your Note 2 across your keyboard to see just how many keys would fit on this, you would notice that it isnt too far off from a cramped up netbook-style keyboard. I think it would be usable for most people.
I want a cover that has a cutout for the back camera so it wouldn't be awkward to take a picture.

I would just let the cover hang down when taking a pic. Honestly I think that the huge hole in the cover would defeat the purpose of having the keyboard there in the first place. It just wouldnt work. And that hole would look straight up stupid when the cover would be closed. Idk .
I would be down to support, looks sick!

Love XDA. Fresh ideas every day.
I like it!
there are some bluetooth keyboards that you could hack up to make a mockup..
Honest questions: does MS have a pending patent for this design? If so, would it affect the development?
I'd support that, but depending on how long development would be. Lots of Kickstarter projects take forever to start shipping. I might be on the Note 3 by then...
I'd prefer a slide out KB case. How much would this cost? If it's like $100 no thanks

Great idea. Great mock-up. Spread ther word
I'd buy it although I haven't used a "querty" for over 2 years.
I would probably look really close at buying it if it were on the shelf right now. I think it is a terrible idea from a financial perspective. You have to look at how many of these phones are out there and what percent of people would buy. Like the other poster stated, we will be on a newer generation phone by the time this comes out.
You are also screwing yourself because all this money and time goes into one particular item for only one model of phone. Don't waste your time or money. Try to find something universal that many different phone owners can use.
THE problems with this.
1) The vast majority of users are perfectly happy typing on their screen.
2) Obviously, since it is so small, the idea of "touch" typing is out. It will still be hunt and peck.
3) If this is laying flat on your desk as you type, what is to keep it from sliding all over the place every time you hit the keypad? The Note II doesn't weigh enough to keep it in place.
4) Flip cases are already expensive. One with a kickstand and keyboard will be prohibitively so. Does the user receive enough additional benefit to justify the additional cost?
5) M$ spent a lot of money creating their flip cover keyboard. You would probably run into patent infringement left and right.
I think this would be one of those products that looks cool which no one buys - or at least not in the volume necessary. Think about it this way. Cases have been around for a long time manufactured by companies always looking for ways to make money. Since no one has tried anything like this you have to ask yourself why not? Probably because they determined they could not make any money.
Cool idea, won't work. You are trying to turn a handheld device into a desktop device. The ergonomics are all wrong.
Hi. For sure this is not a new idea (Surface) but it looks interesting. However the biggest issue is the size of the keyboard. It is too small in order to use it like a small Surface.
Looking good. I will consider to buy it.
it's a solid idea. Obviously, from a business standpoint, I"m like others and question how well it sell for various price points versus the cost.
The other issue I see, the cover lends itself to a landscape mode on the phone only. As one who uses a BT keyboard with the phone at times, not all apps are landscape friendly. I have Freedom Pro portable blue tooth keyboard; supports both HID and PTP formats.
Plus given the same of the cover, it may not be that user friendly for regular typing. The keyboard to type on would be about the size a chatpad used on controllers for video game consoles. Unfortunately, their size of my thumb typing friendly versus ten finger typing (what an awkward way to stated that).
I do agree there is a market for something that is compact, extremely portable, for phablets to type on. There is a reason way the Surface has it, there are quite a few for iPad and other tablets. Personally, I don't really like using virtual keyboards; I hold great disdain to autocorrect. II may be more old school since I've been using full keyboards for around thirty years, so it's basically ingrained into me the correct feel.
It's possible a slide out keyboard may be a better option in this situation. The bad part, added bulk. Not everyone is like me and doesn't care how think of phone gets. The plus side, if designed right, no need for a flat surface around, thus can use while just out an about, say at a bus stop. Then again, it could be redundant with the size of the phone which also influences it's own virtual keyboard.

I love the Windows keyboard (see windows key at the top left corner). If you do go Kickstarter, I would change that to an Android symbol. I agree about possible litigation. I would check make sure MS or something get a patent on a cover keyboard. If they did, you could still do it, just need to work out the royalty with them that makes sense for you to be profitable.

The Nexus 4 as a tablet

I sold a 10.1" asus (tf101) transformer to buy my N4 figuring the phone could double as a tablet and so far, it's doing the job; better, if anything (It hasn't creashed yet!).
The N4 screen is obviously physically smaller but screen resolution is practically the same @ 1280x768 vs. 1280x800, so I simply hold the N4 closer to my eyes assisted as necessary by reading glasses. i'm aged 54 and wouldn't have required those in my 30s. There is also the option of plugging-in to a TV or monitor via the slimport adaptor.
of course my fingers now place a proportionately larger fingerprint on the touchscreen requiring a more delicate touch than with the 10" screen, but i use a BT mouse and keyboard when precise work is needed. Coupled with the DroidEdit app, I can finally use an android device as a productivity tool.
My asus had better battery life than the N4 but i've bought an Anker 10,00mAh portable charger to keep it going practically indefinitely.
finally I use an app called "screen rotation" to auto-rotate the Home screen, just like my old asus, so that i can use the phone entirely in landscape orientation while mounted on a stand.
when i sold the asus I kept my 7" blackberry playbook as a fallback but even that isn't getting much use now.
what else can a tablet do that the N4 can't?
I still prefer using my Nexus 7 to my Nexus 4 for most tasks... It's really inexplicable, technically the N4 is better in every way, the screen is better, the CPU is faster, the GPU is more powerful, they have similar battery life.... But somehow I just prefer working on a physically larger screen.
Then again, maybe I'm just stupidly fussy. Obviously, I can and do use my N4 for everything I'd use the 7 for, I don't always have the 7 with me...
i haven't touched my N7 since i got my N4, damnit google lol
If my phone had a 10" screen and a hot pluggable keyboard like my Transformer Prime, sure I'd ditch the tablet. All kidding aside, no way will a tiny handheld phone replace my 10" tablet.
I can't see my N4 replacing the iPad, the screen is too small so I have to focus more when I do stuff on the phone than I do on the tablet (I mostly do SSH and some light surfing).

you don't actually need it that close. i was making the point that apparent screen size is contingent on distance from the viewer.

What else can a tablet do that your n4 can't?
It gives you the comfort to sit back relax and enjoy it (the tablet), all in one package - without the hassle of switching between using your fingers and a bluetooh mouse (???????) On a tiny device.
If you must only have one device then I guess an n4 can be productive. However productivity on a tablet is much better.

Tablets can switch user without mods
Tablets have a different UI without mods
Tablets can run different apps without mods
However, if you are planning to root&tweak, the only difference will be hardware really
Yeah i had a nexus 7 and sold it along with my old phone to fund the purchase of the n4, very happy with the n4, but i'll probably pick up another n7 or its successor in the summer as for watching video/browsing the web the bigger size is much nicer..

Note 5 Keyboard Case?

So one of the main reasons ive bought the note 5 is because i saw the keyboard case! i personaly miss having a phisical keybaord (even if its just a overlay) but i cant seem to find it at any store! amazon/samsung best buy none have them listed anywhere and i cant seem to find anymore information about it altho it is still on Sammys page for the Note5. this did pop up today on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/252096526715?ul_noapp=true&chn=ps&lpid=82 but i dont trust it because i cant find it anywhere else. anyone else have one or seen one before?
I want to try this case too and I am patiently waiting for it to show up in best buy so I can decide if I'm buying a note 5 or not.
Someone had posted it was available for pre order somewhere in Europe a couple of weeks ago. Then last week I saw them on eBay. I have a feeling that the eBay ones are coming from overseas.
Someone in the q & a forum has one and was asking a question about different languages on the on screen keyboard or something.
They're the only one here that I've seen so far that actually has the case.

Even if you did want to buy this, would you really be willing to pay 50$+ for a cheap piece of plastic that just covers the screen and presses the touch screen for you(Yes thats what it does, it doesn't actually connect to the phone in any technical way, it just presses the keypad on the touch screen)
Anyways if you are truly interested, it sounds like it'll be released sometime this quarter.....My assumption is it was bad enough that they had to delay the release just to try and get a workable version of some form.

M that's not what it does it must have some type of technology involve because the entire screen shifts up it was what you say the display will remain the same and just be covered by the keyboard.. And the actual keyabord is hard at the back so its definitely not pressing the screen. I'm not sure where you got that info..
Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk
The keyboard part of the case clips on the front of the phone when you use it. It shifts the screen up because it brings up the touchscreen keyboard behind it. You can unsnap it from the front and snap it to the back to store it when you want the phone full screen but the keyboard cannot be used when it's clipped on the back side of the case.

I just tried this keyboard and if you are using a customized keyboard, you will have a tough time with this.

I also noticed a bit of a lag on the keyboard with this...
Sorry guys i been away from the internet for about a week! super busy with work and forgot to check back in here. @tarunscool yeah i figured you'd have to use the stock keyboard to make it work right. @BKayrac ive seen the reviews mmain thing ive seen is that they all end up quoting the same person and it docent seem like theirs to many true reviews about it. i bought a $800 dollar phone because of that darn case 80 bucks yeah is expensive but if i can type better on it itll be worth it, even if its not a good case the phone is still really awesome and well worth the money.

M that's not what it does it must have some type of technology involve because the entire screen shifts up it was what you say the display will remain the same and just be covered by the keyboard.. And the actual keyabord is hard at the back so its definitely not pressing the screen. I'm not sure where you got that info..

that was my impression of what the case does. have you seen one in person? it could have a NFC chip in it or a magnet so when its clipped to the front it adjust's the screen just like the flip covers do.
I'll use the google swipe keyboard. Nice and simple. Not an over-abundance of on screen buttons to deal with. Fastest input method besides maybe voice. No need to spend $80
Not a fan of that keyboard case, it does not look very comfortable to type on. I'm going to be trying out the blackberry priv when it comes out if it's available on the jump program as blackberry makes the best keyboards.
Look at this from the Samsung Web Site - not available yet but coming soon: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EJ-CN920UBEGUS
see my topic in the same section ... basically has a big lag on it . making it unusable . got mine via amazon . WASwas shipped from HK . its genuine
I clicked that Samsung link and it's listed and available and... 59.99! That's better than 80!
Wonder if they're worried about performance...

It already selling at Malaysia. For me it is some how ugly.
Does it work with alternative launcher like Nova? Thank you Danilo

Not something I would use. Also reminds me of my old Blackberry Curve 8330.

If my fat fingers had not make millions of typos before, this keyboard certainly will ensure that now~
Most likeyly, I would end up in a mad fury and throw that sucker across the room....

Cheap and reliable gaming mouse? Holife/Victsing/PICTEK 7200DPI Mouse

I'm sharing my experience with a really cheap and reliable gaming mouse.
It's this one

you'll find it on Amazon under various brands like Holife/Victsing/PICTEK and even with RGB(I have the old non RGB version).
I'm using it since 2017 for my daily work AND I'm playing a lot, mostly FPS(BF, DayZ, Warzone) and RPG with it.
The fact that you can get it for 14€/14$ is incredibly. Compared to the price you receive
fully customizyble LED or RGB illumination via software, also the rest of the keys
7200DPI sensor which works on every mousepad I've been using over the past 5 years(switching them at least once a year)
On the fly up/down programmable DPI keys next to the mous wheel with optical feedback(in my case)
nice switches with a very good feedback and short way
mouse feet with a superior lifetime, they're like new, no wear
The whole mouse, the mechanic, the cover shows no wear or damage. It has also no ugly rubber on the housing which feels like glue after some time. Sturdy, cheap ABS plastic, nothing else
How are the ergonomics? It looks a bit "flat", does it fill out the curves of your hand @strongst ?
My all time favorite mouse...

That's a cheap and decent price it's probably worth every penny
I'm probably not gonna buy it because I already have a mouse but if something happens to it these are type of mouses I should definitely buy it

Maybe he should send out a video of using mouse in order to explain that
Sounds good. I only use my notebook built-in track pad!

It's not a big one 124x63 and 40mm high. I'm wearing glove size 8/9
I have a Microsoft Sidewinder mouse too, which is nearly the same fit
