Keyboard

Anyone think getting a Bluetooth keyboard is necessary?

I don't think its necessary but I don't type that much

i find typing with 2 thumbs to be pretty convenient, actually. if not the 1 finger dab works, haha.

Probably not, unless you truly despise tapping on a virtual keyboard to type. Besides, the JB keyboard on the Nexus 7 is pretty nice.

Awww in just thought it would look extra cool lol

I'm hoping someone rips off Microsoft's Surface Touch Cover/keyboard. Would be a nice compromise. While it's not a great keyboard since it has no key travel, it will avoid taking up screen real estate which is a nice upgrade over an onscreen keyboard. Would make it far more useful in a pinch as a terminal server client/remote support tool.

yes x100.
just tested my HP Touchpad bluetooth keyboard and it works great. no lag at all. just silly that the keyboard is bigger than the tablet. i could see it working great if you had to type stuff up on a plane or train or something. just need a case or something to prop the tablet up in landscape mode.

Question about physical keyboards

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

How about for browsing the web, i.e. this site?

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

I bought the Zagg Keys Flex for my Galaxy Note 10.1. It's an android/iOS bluetooth keyboard (has a switch to change the mode!). It's a really light and portable keyboard, that's incredibly easy to type on, and fast! It's certainly not cheap, though. It cost me £55 from Amazon. And as for a mouse, your best bet would just be to get a small bluetooth mouse.

The Zagg is a nice looking bit of gear.
I use the Logitech "For Android" bluetooth keyboard, most readily available refurbed from Amazon for like $35. Very nice too, has a slip case that coverts to a stand like the Zagg and of course all the Android-specific hotkeys.

Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard Video Review!

Hey guys, I have appreciated the video reviews posted here so I thought I would do one myself. This video review is for the New Trent Bluetooth Keyboard with touch pad. Here is a link to the video review
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tym3BoEhQwc&feature=youtube_gdata_player
And here is a link to the product on Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/New-Trent-Mul...36&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=new+trent+ishuffle
My full written review is there as well. In short, its the best wireless keyboard I have used. Definitely worth the asking price of $55.
This is my first YouTube video, so there is much room for improvement. I plan on continuing to review various android hardware and accessories should you wish to subscribe. Let me know if you have ideas!

Great video review. Is the back part / empty plastic really just for the stand or are they hiding components in there? It kind of reduces from it's portability. Do they make that part of its plastic removable?
Have you tried it with the nexus 10? If so, does it sit well like the galaxy?

Nice review. Too bad about the home key. Get a sleeve case. I'be seen them at "5 Below", if you have that store. And yeah, it's $5.
I have a Logitech k400 IR keyboard. Works well but connects through OTG cable. Bluetooth would be better.

No there are not any components in that area, no. I wanted a stand really bad though because I dont have a multi angle case though.
Yes, I used this with a nexus 10 for a while. It actually fits better than the note. I think its because of the grippy material, but it doesn't slide around as much as mine.

I dont have that store unfortunately I will have to look around here. Is it a keyboard sleeve or a tablet sleeve?

Very nice review. Thanks for recording and sharing it. :thumbup:

Thanks for the review, I don't tend to like small keyboards, but I might get that for my N10.

Yeah I worried I would struggle to type on it too, but I can nail out an email pretty quick. To out it in perspective, it is about as large as the tablet.

Just added a review for the Samsung Muse. There are hardly any reviews online so i thought i would give an in depth look. Heres the link:

the one I looked at was for a Tablet but since your keyboard is the same size, I think It will work too.

Thanks for the advice. I'll take a look.

I'm looking at the K400 Plus. It'll require the OTG cable as well, but that's no big deal.
Does the touch pad and 'buttons' work / simulate a 'tap'?
Thanks in advance,

BT Keyboards w/ built-in phone stand

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?
