Has anyone tried a bluetooth keyboard that works elocity a7
I got one that looks like this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0..._m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1R1D7X86D5K9NN4VHN57
Got mine off ebay and it didn't bring the extras (just keyboard and USB charging cable). It works. You have to inter the coade, 0000, in the eLocity and also on they BT Keyboard for it to pair and connect. After that it works.
Honestly, I don't really use mine.
Using this one:

A few quirks though - have to pair the keyboard each time with the A7 when starting afresh. Also the enter key does not work for internet browser or youtube apps however it does work elsewhere - strange.
Oh and the mouse pointer is not visible.
Thanks for your answers
I'm using CM 7.2 stable and am interested in a mini bluetooth keyboard that would work with my Ace and with a PS3. Definitely don't want a full size keyboard, I guess the smaller the better.
Am wondering if anyone has experience and recommendations?
CM7 is capable of connecting with Wii Mote. Wii Mote can be used as a gaming controller for your SGA
Ask Google
Yeah thanks for that input, Einstein
To update my own post, I purchased a 49 Key Mini Bluetooth keyboard from DealExtreme (DX 55401) for US$14.40. You can find what looks like the same keyboard all overy ebay for a little less.
This worked well with my Ace running CM 7.2 Stable. No additional software required, just turn on bluetooth, pair with the code provided by Android, and voila! As mentioned in reviews there, the buttons are a bit high and require a bit of travel to actually press. For someone with big fingers, this makes it a bit tricky because you could end up also pressing the buttons each side as well. But humans are pretty adaptable, and so with a little time I've managed to master this keyboard pretty well. Thumbs up for this keyboard from me
Size wise, it's almost exactly the same size as the Ace (without case). I can fit both of them (with my Ace in a TPU case) in a soft pouch I got off ebay for cheap.

And now I have to wait 5 minutes to post because I am prevented from adding anythiing more than a limited number of characters in my post above. I don't know if it's worth the trouble to post here at all....
This encourages useless one line tweets as posts......
The mini keyboard also worked fine with my Linux machine running Ubuntu 12.04. It does NOT work with my PS3. However, I found a great little app called BluePutDroid that allows you to use your Ace as a HID device. Which turns your Ace into a keyboard/mouse input device for pretty much any Bluetooth enabled device.
This means I can use my Ace as a keyboard for my PS3! I could probably also use the mini keyboard to type into the Ace which then types into the PS3. But I haven't bothered trying that yet.
i wonder why some1 would want to hook up a keyboard to ace... u lose the portability
I mean u can use ur comp and air droid for basic stuff...
If it was blutooth AND those rollable flexible keyboard.. then thats different story
Greetings!
Which of the two is a better keyboard?

Thinkpad compact bluetooth keyboard comments
I can't comment on the Motorola, but just recently purchased the Thinkpad, and I do like it. It appears that the Motorola lays flat only however, while the thinkpad keyboard has feet that push the rear up, providing a slanted surface, which I feel is more comfortable.
Here is what I found from a software support perspective:
Windows 7: Just works right
Ubuntu 13.04: I had to download "Bluetooth Manager" and connect without pairing to get it to work--the stock Bluetooth setup didn't work properly to pair the devices, but after that, it appears to work fine.
Cyanogenmod 9 on Mytouch 4G Slide: Worked fine
Cyanogenmod 10.2 on HTC One: Doesn't connect properly after pairing (I haven't resolved this yet but appears to be a base Android 4.3 issue)
Stock HTC One: Works fine
The keyboard itself is much more comfortable than using my laptop keyboard, and it is comfortable enough that I pushed my full-sized keyboard to the side. I'm prepping to live out of a Hotel for three months while a house is completed, and wanted to save desk space, and this really fits the bill.
In reference to the ThinkPad keyboard, does the TrackPoint work in Android as a mouse?
Thanks,

i love amazon
In case this information helps anyone...
I picked up an Arkon tablet stand and Logitec K810 bluetooth keyboard from Amazon.
The tablet stand is portable and adjustable and great for using on airplanes.
The keyboard has been working really well with remote desktop, but some apps (like QPython) are kinda laggy on accepting from the keyboard.
Cheers,

While not technically a Yoga Book accessory I've found that the Microsoft Wedge Touch Mouse is an excellent Bluetooth Mouse for the Yoga Book.
I didn't think the swipe and scroll gestures would work on Android but they do work and really well.
It's nice and small too.
I've been using Lenovo N700. It has dual mode 2,4ghz with usb dongle also work with bluetooth without dongle. Also have swipe scroll working very well... except it doesn't have vertical scroll.
The question...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The question here is whether me reaching to the screen to scroll a bit a few times per use is worth £40. Plus, you MIGHT be able to get used to the tiny mouse pad... but you'll still keep hitting the space button.
Hi, I was just wondering if you could pair any bluetooth mouse and keyboard with this device or only the samsung branded ones? I was thinking about getting one of these to replace a laptop, the hardest thing I would want to do would be semi-complex 1-3 page word documents which would probably require a mouse for adjusting tables and the like. Thanks
I'm using a Logitech K380 bluetooth keyboard with my Tab S2 T715Y, works well. There's a bit of lag if you're using the keyboard through Swiftkey, so I always switch to the default Samsung keyboard app whenever I use the K380.
Yeah i just paired my dads apple magic keyboard and mouse with my phone, probably wont get a tab s2 though because theres no desktop tyle apps for android
