Thread title says it. I really want a bluetooth keyboard to use with my Sprint Touch but reviews for BT keyboards are all over the place. Some positive, some negative, some have driver problems, some don't... and then half the neg reviews are from dummies who really shouldn't be reviewing technology in the first place.
So if you have found a good working BT keyboard for the Vogue, can you tell me about it? Thanks!
Not BT, but my personal recommendation is the Spb FullScreenKeyboard, works perfect, and no need to carry anything extra.
I use a iGo (ThinkOutside) Stowaway and it works great. iGo has stopped producing them, so prices are all over the map, but I did see one on Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/Stowaway-Ultr...AKD1J9QB9025J&s=generic&qid=1214779131&sr=1-2 - for $39.99. I travel a lot and don't always want to drag out my tablet so I use this and a bt mouse. I had their IR model before this one.
+1 for the stowaway. I've had one for about 2 years and am very happy. It sips batteries and hooks up to any BT I've tried it with. Thier mouse on the other had has a huge appetite for batteries. Not worth it in my opinion when you have a touch screen within reach.

i've been waiting for this one,

but they keep pushing the date back
I've used the iGo/ThinkOutside BT keyboards with several devices, including my XV6900. It's an awesome keyboard.

I use Logitech's Bluetooths Mini Dionvo keyboard on my VOUGE 100 device. Pricy but it's current the BEST!

hands down igo stoaway...awesome keyboard and batteries last forever
ThinkOutside BT
++ThinkOutside Stowaway BT! I've had it for a couple of years, used on several devices, and love it! I love their BT mouse as well.
I use the apple wireless keyboard with my verizon touch and it works without any extra software you just pair the phone to the keyboard and it works fine. seems like the easiest thing to do
Hi, can anyone please advise a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse that is compatible with galaxy note and won't be too heavy on my pocket?
P.s: I live in India. Please help me with retailers that ship world wide.
Thank you very much.

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.
Hi All,
Can anyone recommend a decent BT keyboard to work inline with the Nexus 7??
Cheers

I really like this one...

Very nice quality.
I have also been looking for one, however every one I have seen on various websites is either stupidly high in price or has a lot of negative reviews from other android owners.

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:
Perixx: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Perixx-PERI...TF8&coliid=I220068LGN8Q3Z&colid=2BR9RKFGQNYYD

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.
Just wanted to let people know that there's deal on a bluetooth Android keyboard, mouse, remote, and Motorola Atris 4g dock. You probably won't have any use for the Motorola Atrix 4g dock but the keyboard, mouse, and remote might come in handy. It's only $29.99 right now with free shipping this week. Put in the coupon code A4C5OFF for 5% off. I don't have one of these but I would assume it works just fine with the Nexus, minus the dock. Gotta love a keyboard with a bunch of Android shortcut keys.

I got my keyboard by buying that set a few months ago, on eBay. The remote and dock are pretty useless for our N7 but the mouse and keyboard are fine and well made.
Just got this set yesterday, works very well! Hoping I might be able to set it up for fps games on android. Anyone know anything about that?

I bought a Logitech off of Amazon that works great with the N7. It said that it was for the N7. I also use it for my ps3.

I wish I saw this deal before buying the Logitech for android tablet one. I paid way more than this just for a keyboard and a stand.

me too..
I just returned the logitech one since it was defective. Anyone tried this motorola one? how is the keyboard and mouse?
They put the price up to 49$. I bought the set and was looking for a 2nd set to make a profit from.
I sold the dock for 24$ so I pretty much got my first set for almost free.
I've been swaying back and forth on buying a Dex. In Canada, the retail price is very high ($250...although there are some deals).
I'm curious what owners/testers thought should have been included/excluded? I'd personally liked to have seen video-over-usb-c, an audio output, and a more approachable pricepoint.
Thoughts?
the price is insane,will not even consider at this price point....but im seeing some chinese knock offs that lead me to believe there is no proprietary/special hardware that makes this functionality happen. Maybe even a simple usb-c, 3-way usb-power / HDMI MHL adapter would work? Anyone tested MHL adapter yet?
I bought these.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074MYLP9C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This one does not work with DEX, it can mirror your screen that is all.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074SXBZ3S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This is a cheapish Chinese one. I can confirm that this works as a DEX station, the one main difference between this one and the official one is the Ethernet lan port is missing.
From what I have found online there is a chip in the dock that tells the Samsung device to switch between the Dex mode or mirror mode. The only other option you have if you want to use the first type of usb-c dongle is to root and use a custom kernel that has been baked into a custom ROM.

I got mine for under $100 through B&H. Brand new.
The knockoff would be about $30 less and I'd much prefer to stick with the original dex station.
so far I´d change:
Hi Y'all.
I'd like a display port to complement the HDMI port.
A dock with a more case friendly design would also have been appreciated.
It took me a while to figure out the apostrophe on a physical keyboard.
"I'd, Y'all, can't" ect. gave me some weird responses.
A USB-C hub would have been nice to complement the other ports.
Apart from this I'm a happy camper.

Elo.
