bluetooth keyboard

I ran across this http://www.mytouch3gaccessories.net/bluetooth-keyboard-b0056.html and wondered if any of you have tried it? I know at the bottom theirs a disclaimer that it doesn't work on 32b's but i figured i would ask around see if any of you have figured a way to get it working, or any other smaller bluetooth keyboard for that matter?

Scam
I will buy one and see if I can get it working. But I can't afford it right now. I'm waiting on a check from a guy in Nigeria who sent me an email asking me to help him out of a financial jam. Once I get the check I will buy everything on that website you linked to.

ive actually been looking at this same one for awhile now i and building a little somethingi am calling "mini mac" based from my itouch 2g 8gig and this is the one that ive looked everywhere and this has always been on top of my list... i think next checki will get it i think ive seen it a bit cheaper too.. well if i get it before u then i will update u on it and if u get it frist post it...... ooo and i plan on using this in my itouch computer, my mytouch, and ps3 slim

I can confirm you can easely connect ANY bluetooth keyboard to android (you need root, though.)
Tried it out with an Apple Wireless Keyboard.

Enjoying the Logitech Mediaboard Pro
Ive been using Logitech mediaboard pro
http://www.logitech.com/en-us/keyboards/keyboard/devices/3616
for a couple weeks on my Rogers Magic 32a Running CM6
the board is great, Keyboard and touch pad is fully functional out of the gate.
and the MENU button on the top of the board opens MENU
the only issues i have are:
1. a normal keyboard does not have the BACK button, (i changed the android config file so that ESC acts as BACK)
2. The ON Screen Keyboard still pops up when selecting a text box
Be Sure the ROM you are using has a HID Stack installed for bluetooth
most roms built off of cyanogen's roms have this.

If you are after something small and portable I can recommend a Rii Mini Bluetooth keyboard.
http://www.riiminikeyboards.com/entertainment.html
I use it for HTPC but paired it with an eeeTransformer as a test and got keyboard and mouse functionality instantly.

I have a logitech dinovo mini, the most expensive useless thing I've ever bought. It works with everything BT, but it's just not practical: You're happily texting away and then you have to use the touchscreen for something like changing screens, closing apps, there's always something the bt kb won't do or you just don't remeber which key does what.
I tried using it with my deceased N95, with my computer as a "media remote control" for when I'm watching movies... It's inside a drawer in my bedside table. Beautiful thing, though!

I ordered one from DealExtreme but be warned that it might take a month before you get it in hands
SKU 13760
MSI BGP100 Bluetooth Gamepad (1*AAA Battery Included)
$25.10
Of course, you could buy the same thing from eBay - for $35

If you get the $12 EMS shipping when ordering from DX you should get it quicker too, it's the free shipping that takes a couple of weeks. I ordered mine yesterday BTW.

Max # of connected Gamepads?
Hello,
What is the max number gamepads that the HD2 can handle at one time?
Also, I have a BT keyboard that works great. Anyone used the gamepad and a BT keyboard together for multiplayer gaming?
I am planning to purchase a gamepad, and possibly more than one... would like to know soon.
Thanks in advance!

There is an app that allows you to use one WM phone to control another and even use it as a joystick:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=634675
My current plan is to use an HP hw6925 as a joystick/keyboard for the HD2 (too bad I didn't find this software before I purchased a BT keyboard).
When I test the possibility of using 2 WM phones as joysticks for the HD2 I'll decide on still getting 1/2 gamepads.

Anyone got their pad yet?

I'm still waiting for mine ...

Thanks... ive seen that app but yet to try it.
What im really after is a competitor to the MSI BGP100... i have one and think it could/should be so much better! Surely there is someone else out there who makes these products?

Ive got one of the MSI pads, Waste of money. 6 buttons with only 4 usuable!
rubbish pad

Be very cautions with deal extreme.
I've ordered mine in the beginning of February because they said the item was in stock. "Item in stock" remained at the item's description until now and even after I tried to contact them since last week with no answer, the item's description changed today to "temporary stock shortage".
I'm going to try to buy it somewhere else because I won't wait so much time at dealextreme.

Will an OTG cable work with stock, or do you need to root and/or have custom firmware?

Depends on what you are using it for, mouse/keyboard/game controllers(I think) do NOT need root. A flash drive or hard drive DOES need root, in which you can use StickMount.

Ugh...just got my Nexus 7 where I want it with the apps I want, configured the way I want, etc. Just read that rooting it will erase everything.

If you use this toolkit it will backup your apps and restore them when the rooting and unlocking process is done

Updates
1 out of 5 is not working for me ..
buy it at your own risk.

Haha - saw this too late. Already redid everything after rooting. My OTG cables should be here soon. I'm planning to use one "as-is" and the other one I'm going to see if I can mod into my case. I ordered a keyboard case and I'm going to shoot to find some room in there where if I strip down the cable and put a microSD adapter on it I should be able to hide it somewhere!

Thanks!
Wish I had seen your post before. I ordered OTG cables from Amazon, they were cheap but I realized too late that they were shipping from Hong Kong so who knows when I'll be getting them...

something to watch out for... due to the N7's bezel, the OTG cable i purchased does not insert all the way. since its impossible to know yourself, buy ones tried by other members. i have to buy another.. sigh..

I use the Motorola Camera Connection Kit cable found HERE, which was shown by @sleeplessninja HERE.
It is much more expensive then the generic ones but I feel it is better quality.
I use it for keyboard/mouse (use at the same time with USB hub) and a PS3 controller, I actually use a Nyko 3rd party PS3 controller and works fine. All of them work with the N7 out of the box (stock, locked, and not-rooted).

I got the one from eForCity for my Galaxy Nexus (sold on NewEgg, but amazon has them, now, too). It works on the Nexus 7, too.
Should be this one. Much cheaper now than when I ordered mine! http://www.amazon.com/Micro-USB-OTG...e=UTF8&qid=1343765093&sr=8-1&keywords=USB+OTG

Would a Micro USB OTG to USB 2.0 Adapter compatible with Samsung Galaxy S III / S3 work on the nexus 7?

Same here. Does not insert all the way and what's upsetting was it cost a little more than the others that do work, atleast the one I bought

I too, have the Motorola Camera Connection Kit cable.
Heavy duty cable that one is. Fits fine, works every time.
Guess it's a case of "get what you pay for".

As much as I wanted to buy a cheap OTG, I couldnt wait when I got my nexus ended up ordering the Samsung Official OTG and it works perfectly with the Nexus 7, its not cheap but hey its well constructed and works.

Got the one from Hong Kong took about 2 weeks. Works just as it should. Gonna pick up a 32gig USB from micro center for dirt cheap and make this tablet limitless.

Cheap Ebay PS3 SIXAXIS controller Fully Working on Nexus 7

Here is another cheap fake PS3 controller working with my Nexus 7 paired with Sixaxis app.
XDA isn't allowing me to post outside links, but search ebay for: Bluetooth Wireless Controller for Sony PS3 Playstation 3 Blue Free Shipping
Everything seems to be fully functional so far. I believe any fake controller that looks like this one, should work fine.
Note. Seems like seller updated the listing. I bought it for $13.14, now it is $63.14, Nevertheless, this particular controller seems to work fine with Sixaxis app.
Mode no. CECHZC2U
WIRELESS CONTROLLER
MADE IN CHINA

Item number: 190687956259
I do not have PS3, so I cant really check it. But I am assuming it will work fine. I dont think it has DUALSHOCK built in, then again not able to confirm it (i could disassemble it tho..)

Easy way to tell is. The DS3 is MUCH heavier than the Sixaxis. I also assume there will be a good amount of Old Sixaxis controllers still availible and will be cheap since people want the DS3 instead.

True, this one is really light.

Don't expect fake PS3 controllers to work for very long. In the long run, you're better off just spending the $50.

I think you are right. I got this controller so I could try it, before I spend $50 on a controller that I might end up not using.
And besides, I will wait when PS4 starts selling and expect PS3 controllers and consoles go down in price.

Hmm, instead of buying it you could have just borrowed one from a friend (if such an option was available)
Sorry I'm just a big gamer, and I've gone through a bunch of PS3 controllers. There are so many fake ones out there close to the price of the originals that it's frightening, and it's getting harder and harder to tell the difference.. though anyone with experience can tell just by picking one up.
The PS4 still has another year or so to be released.

Yeah, I could borrow one, but they wanna play their games too. So, when this one quits working, I will pick up one from Best Buy or Walmart. I would say, they carry authentic controllers.
As far as PS4 I think it will be available for the holidays, which is 6-7 month. Not so far away

I sure hope so, I can't wait for the new Killzone. I must have spent 900+ hours on Killzone 2..

I would wait a little before I get the new PS4. I'm sure prices are gonna be outrageous. Sure you cant make core gamers wait for a new toy tho.

cool. thanks man i was wondering if this would work. and indeed it does!

I'm not sure how long its going to hold up. I have been slashing some monsters on Dark Meadow, going strong so far!

media link HD: dg h200 vs dg h300 ?

Hi does anyone know what the difference is between the h200 and h300?
i didnt see any model numbers mentioned on the htc website however i have noticed on ebay there are several dg h300's and handtec also sell this - amazon UK only have the h200.

I dont know what the difference is i'm guessing maybe just regional differences? I got one free with my HTC One

i think the 200 only supports the one series whereas the 300 supports more devices. if anyone can confirm this it would be appreciated. i just want to verify if either version will work with my dinc 4g. (seen mostly the 200 on ebay...)
