logitech keyboard for ipad works on android?

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

OMG! someone needs to make a video like this using the Nexus 4 as a desktop computer!

He is using a Galaxy Note in the video but it seems easy right?
- HDMI to a monitor
- Bluetooth mouse
- Bluetooth keyboard
Seems like an awesome idea to me. Use the Nexus 4 as your mobile device when your outside of the house and when you come back home and need a desktop to work on just plug in your Nexus 4 and start. Finally PC free. One device to rule them all :victory:
Anyone else going to try this with the Nexus 4 when it comes out? I know I sure want to but I'm not sure if the Nexus 4 works with bluetooth mice the same way the Galaxy Note does Galaxy Nexus users would probably know.

I can confirm that the Galaxy Nexus works with a bluetooth mouse and keyboard. I have used my phone as a "desktop computer" when I was on a vacation.

Thank you for letting me know! :good:
Makes me really happy to hear that. I don't really need PC programs so I love the idea of using a smartphone as my one and only computer :highfive:

The Nexus 4 uses Slimport HDMI, according to the specifications it allows HDMI output and USB-otg at the same time!! This means there will be docks with HDMI out and several USB-ports (at least I hope there will be).
So you can connect a monitor USB keyboards, mice and harddrives all at the same time!
Edit: I might have gotten a little too exited and misinterpreted the data sheet.
Simultanious HDMI output and USB-otg might not be possible after all.

I do the same atm with my one x, only problem I can see is the lack of mhl will make it more expensive

I'm expecting/hoping canonical will release ubuntu for android for the nexus 4

With miracast, charching orb and BT keyboard/mouse combo, you can do this totally wireless and cooler and pricy.

I would have thought a tablet would be better because of tablet-optimised apps. If you wanted to do office-type work, the tablet versions of office suites makes much better use of the screen real-estate.

You can achieve the same result with most 'modern' smartphones that support HDMI out. It's a neat little trick, I use it a lot with my tablet. I think someone above mentioned the tablet apps are better - and this is definitely true at my end. Far more suited to a telly.
So as this can be prescribed to pretty much any phone, I'll go ahead and close it here. Give it a shot though - definitely worth doing.
Just for curiosity's sake, Samsung have released a dock for the Note 2 to make the most out of this. Provides not only HDMI out, but also full-sized USB ports for peripherals and 3.5mm audio-out. I'm waiting for it to hit :good:
Closed!

Nexus 7 w/ Keyboard

So for University I was planning to buy an ultrabook but to save money, I will probably use my Nexus 7, since I am only typing notes.
I have read online that there are a few keyboards that are designed for nexus 7. I was wondering if I get a usb-to-microusb
converter, will my keyboard work for the nexus 7? Or would a regular Bluetooth keyboard work with Nexus 7?
The keyboards made for tablets just seem too small for me.

Pretty much any usb keyboard will work on the n7 with the otg cable. I have not tried one that didnt work yet. As for bt, I dont know. They are supposed to work, but i dont have one to be able to say which does and doesnt.

bluetooth would probably be your best bet. why attach wires when you can go wireless

I got this keyboard
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wireless-Bluetooth-Keyboard-Google-Tablet/dp/B009SL3WS4/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1356522230&sr=1-1
works pretty well for what you may need it for...

Hey guys I was just wondering If anyone has found a good keyboard/case with an inbuilt battery like how the Asus Transformer series have. When the keyboard dock is plugged into that device it extends the battery life of the tablet..any such product for the N7?

Thanks for the replies! Were helpful. I'll have been looking at otg cables before but was unsure.
They are pretty cheap on amazon so I guess I'll just order one.

[Q] Microsoft wireless display adapter not recognized...

Switched to this Nexus 6 yesterday and everything was going swimmingly until I tried to connect to my Microsoft Wireless display adapter and the nexus 6/doesn't see it. Worked with my galaxy s5 just fine.. Even with 5.1 . So is this an issue with the Nexus 6 or am I doing something wrong?

The Microsoft Wireless display adapter uses Miracast technology. It is not supported by the Nexus 6. Go here to read more > http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/help/nexus-6-miracast-t2952461

thanks for the link. So ridiculous though.. it's always something! Thought the Nexus 6 would end my days of rooting and rom'ing and now I'm gonna have to F with what otherwise was a fantastic phone.

Using HP lapdock with Note 8

Hello I got an Samsung note 8. I want to use this phone with the HP lapdock. But I don't get it worked. Can someone help me?
Thank you!

It's not designed to work with Android! Some modders may have gotten a custom rom to work partially with it, but not for the Note 8.

Whether it's designed to work with Android or not, it works really well on the Galaxy S9. I'm typing on my HP lapdock via the S9 right now.
Are you using a Thunderbolt 3 cable?

Hey. Is your S9 stock or not? Also, you mean exactly thunderbolt 3 cable or any usb-c? Maybe you can put up a short video on YouTube of how it works?

It is stock. I had to go out to Best Buy and spend a good chunk of change on a Belkin Thunderbolt 3 cable, but that was all I needed to get it working. Nothing special I had to do in the settings. Sometimes I'll plug it in and the resolution is funky or the sound won't work, but simply unplug and plug it back in and it'll fix.
I don't know if the Note 8 has DP over USB-C, so it may not work with the HP lapdock. The S9 does which is why it works. Now, as I see it, the ultimate phone to use with the HP lapdock other than the HP phone itself would be the Note 9, since apparently it will output Dex without the need for the Dex Pad and it's much better then Sentio.

Are you able to use the touchpad on the lapdock? I am also typing on the lapdock but ever since the oreo update it will not let me use the touchpad, only use the screeen as the touchpad, which is annoying.

I got everything working! Using the V8H07UT model with working video, keyboard, trackpad and mobile charging using the included USB-C cable. Initially had the problem with Keyboard and Mouse not working - but the Note 9 forum guys recommended a hard reset on the HP Lapdock itself by pressing on it for 15 seconds until the keyboard flashes and reboots. Worked fine from there when I plug in my phone.
I am loving this setup so much..

I have the Note 8 too with the HP Lapdock... Yes it works great most of the time
Just sound is the issue sometimes, but the 15 second reboot usually fixes the problem.

Note 8 & HP Elite X3 Lapdock
Is your setup still working? No other issues other than sound?
