I was thinking about getting one to make typing easier when I'm surfing the web on my N7. Such as this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-920-003390-Tablet-Keyboard-Android/dp/B0054L8N7M
The problem I have is doing things like scrolling or clicking (touching) links seems like its going to be a pain since the N7 will no longer be in my hands. I will have to reach forward to click on something. Is this as big of a pain as it seems? Is the keyboard worth it?
Hi, after rooting my N7 I plugged in ( via OTG female USB to micro USB adapter ) a USB wireless adapter for my mouse and keyboard that came with my Revo computer. Both work together and the scroller on the mouse pulls the screen up and down on the N7. So cool.

Yeah, in fact you might as well get a mouse+keyboard combo with one wireless adapter and skip the bluetooth.
I have a physical logitech keyboard and it's great for typing up a paper and it's better to get a usb instead of blue tooth uses less battery

Yeah its great for anything because you can use most of the keys on the keyboard so it works very well for browsing also

It appears Best Buy has the Nexus S dock on sale right now for $19.99 instead of the normal $39.99. I picked one up for my Nexus S last night. Be sure to check out your local store if you are in the market

I bought one. It will be handy St work. Decent price I think at $20?

Yikes, just read the reviews on Best Buy's website. Seems that this is not a multimedia dock, but just a piece of plastic that holds your phone while it charges. No speakers or audio input on the dock, nothing multimedia about it.
Then don't buy it

It clearly states in the description that it is designed for you to use the speakerphone and media player while charging the phone. Think of it like a kickstands that charges your phone.

The Nexus S Dock is a bad joke. No comparison to the great Nexus One Dock. I don't want to have to fit in the usb slot every time I put the Nexus into the Dock. With the Nexus you just put the phone on the Dock without fiddling around. I think every Nexus phone should have such charging contacts like the Nexus one did...

I picked one up. If nothing else, it's a cheap OEM charger. They also had an open box Samsung Nexus S car dock for $22.99.
Both work great, especially the car dock. It's nice to have something made for the Nexus S, even though the dock isn't powered (you have to manually plug in the cord). Not a big deal as I've been doing it all along anyway when I get in the car.
yeah this dock is kind of a joke compared to the nexus one dock. i hope the nexus prime or whatever they call it has inductive charging or at least charging contacts like the n1 did.
I have a rii keyboard and touch pad combo I use for my laptop. But I'm looking for something that will work on the bionic in webtop mode. something small that has a built in mouse, or key pad. All the ones I see have a USB dongle which obviously won't work. Anybody have a good alternative? Or ideas?

That's news to me.
I used the Microsoft and Logitech devices and the phone picked up the dongle and devices just fine.

Scratch this, found out someone answered in another thread.
My very old Logitech MX5500 keyboard and mouse combo worked just fine. You should be able to use just about any Bluetooth device...

I got the RII mini keyboard for Christmas and it does work with the Bionic (using it with HDMI cable and web hack now!) I got lucky and figured out the bluetooth pairing procedure (no help from mfr)
1: Do not download their apk, you dont need it. Uninstall it if you have it installed.
2: Remove it from bluetooth devices if it is listed.
3: Go to bluetooth menu, scan for devices, turn on keyboard and press bluetooth button.
4: When prompted on phone for password type 0000
Now comes the part they dont tell you..
5: Right after entering the password on the phone, type 0000 then press the enter key ON THE KEYBOARD.
The keyboard should pair and work with your bionic.
Play wih the Fkeys to see how they control the menu,home,search keys on the phone
I know this is late, hope it helps
Thank you for your input. But unfortunately my rii doesn't have a blue tooth button :/ . I guess I have the old model. It is a few years old. Maybe I should upgrade . If you don't mind me asking, what model number is yours? I'll get the same one

You Rii isn't bluetooth?
The button is the bluetooth symbol on mine.
If it is bluetooth, how do you get it into pair mode?
It goes into pair mode when I put the dongle in the computer. But the actual rii doesn't have a Bluetooth button :/.

If only they did such accessories with a Dvorak layout, I might be interested! Then again, since dvorak is optimised to alternate the side of the keyboard you type on as much as possible, it's pretty much perfect for typing with 2 thumbs - I'm actually faster typing on my on screen keyboard and having swiftkey correct all the mistakes than I am on a physical keyboard!

I have almost the same thing. It works fine, but it's not exactly fast to type. The buttons are far too close together to type normally and a bit too far apart to be fast for thumbs-only. Particularly reaching the right-thumb over the touch pad is a drag. But it is still better than using the on-screen keyboard in a terminal emulator. Having all the F-keys, arrows, edit keys, and immediate access to shift and alt and ctrl keys instead of always waiting for long-presses or diving in to alt keyboards is a big deal.
Minor issues: no page up page down keys. I wish the "/" didn't require the Fn key as it's used a lot in linux comands.
Unexpected bonus, it actually comes with a usb bluetooth dongle stowed in back. So you can use it on say headless servers with everything you need right in your pocket.

Got the Motorola Keyboard in today.
Pluses
1. Feels solid (well built) .
2. Love the retractable touchpad.
3. Touchpad is a nice size.
4. Connects with absolutely no problem and works great!!:good:
I already think this is going to be the one to go with! I will post more on battery life after our techs use it for a couple of days
You will need to adjust the pointer speed its a little to slow on the default settings
Title says it. Are there any BT keyboards with a built-in phone stand? I'd love to have a full-size keyboard I could just plop my N2 on when I'm home and have it on my lap.

same one I have, also with a bluetooth mouse it is a awesome combo when hooked up to all share cast or mhl...etc.
Thanks a bunch. Does the stand actually connect to the keyboard?
I have the same question. I have had my Note 2 for about a week and I have discovered that my Chromebook is collecting dust because this phone can do everything that the it can do and more, except for typing long emails etc.
What I am looking for is a keyboard and trackpad combo with a built in stand.
I was hoping to find something like this Logitech USB keyboard/trackpad that I use with my media center PC but with a built in stand and bluetooth..
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...E16823126315&gclid=CMPMk_qBibcCFQFp4AodwTsAkQ
Didn't samsung make a keyboard/trackpad combo for the Galaxy Tab? I can't find it online now.
PS - anybody want to buy a used Chromebook?
hey droids!
just thought id share my set up atm incase anyone is keen to do something along the same lines.
Currently running Ubuntu 13.04 raring ringtail on the nexus 7, sitting on an adjustable stand i salavage from a desklamp.
when running the device i use a wireless mouse and wired keyboard via an otg cable and a 4 port usb hub, then a 1tb desktop HDD then to finish it off it an extra usb charger i wired up from the pogo pins
so far so good. it doesnt really charge while using it, it more sits at the same voltage lol so thats fine. when the screen is off it charges fine.
pics tomorrow
Sounds interesting, how do you charge it, using a pogo dock?
You should post pictures of your setup
