I bought a Microsoft Arc Keyboard for my Notion Ink Adam, but when I tried it out, only the volume up and down keys had any effect? I'm told that this keyboard works on Linux (I haven't tested it yet on my Fedora installation). How would I get it to work on my Beast ROM 2.1.4?
I also have an Arc keyboard that I'd love to use with my Adam - It manages to connect between the USB-wifi plug, but the only thing that works is the volume up and down buttons.
Would be happy to help test stuff if anybody wants to write something that will help get this working.

Hi there.
I got Quake3 loaded on the phone, it starts up and I can look around and shoot, but I can't bind anything to the keys for movement.
Has anyone successfully configured it to use any of the buttons on the phone?
Thanks.
I went through the same issue. After reading the requirments it states a physical keyboard is required. Shame too.

Well, the Volume and Camera buttons are probably map-able, since Volume Up is already mapped to fire by default. Probably need to talk to the author.

I think this is what you're looking for
Someone get the Wiimote to be compatible and I'll send you boatloads of money lol
The developer already has rudimentary on screen joystick support as of yesterday. It is rudimentary, but it works, and it is mostly multitouch capable.
He is currently working on making that better. Also I will be making a quake3 mod that will make the menus be more easily usable on the android port. The current best setup I have used is:
Volumes are forward and back, camera is shoot, screen is aim. I tried mapping jump to touch, but it didn't work.
The port is still very much in early stages, and it sounds like he is hard at work on making it more usable. Hopefully I can help with my mods
I have seen a few videos online, mainly with the dell streak, that show how an apple bluetooth keyboard works with android. Pressing F1 when paired with the streak brought up the menu button, will that work on the nexus one too?
I'm assuming the HID support in CM6 would let one work the same way on the nexus one, but is there any way to navigate the phone using the arrow keys on the keyboard? I guess it'd be similar to emulating a d-pad or a trackball.
If the implementation in CM6 can't, are there any apps that can?
i've used it briefly on my n1 + apple bluetooth keyboard. it's very responsive, but i didn't test all the keys. give it a shot. it's pretty cool.
I've played around with my dinovo mini and N1. Both the keyboard and touchpad/mouse work well.
Hello.
I'm interested in a Transformer Prime pad, but don't have one (yet…? ), so, please pardon the question… Anyway…
Is the keyboard from the KeyDock also usable (as a keyboard…), if the display isn't docked in?
Oh, and if the keyboard is used, does Android then also display the (in this case) useless on screen keyboard when text is entered? I hope not…
Lastly, I'm interested in the keyboard layout; how many keys does it have? Does it also have a <ctrl> key? It would be awesome, if somebody could please post a picture of the keyboard (or a link to one…).
I'm asking, because I'd like to figure out, how feasible it might be, to use the thing as a SSH client (using e.g. ConnectBot).
Thx,
Alexander
No, no, lots (could you not look at a picture?), yes. Connectbot works okay, but key combos don't always work. ConnnectBot needs to be updated for full support
Thx for the quick response!
I suppose connecting a Bluetooth keyboard to it would work, wouldn't it?
I know, I'm getting Off Topic, but… How about a USB and/or Bluetooth mouse? On YouTube, I found the video "How to Use a Bluetooth Mouse With the Acer Iconia A500", which shows that BT keyboard & mouse work with 3.1 — on the Acer device. How about Asus?
And, if mouse works, is copy/paste in ConnectBot as easy as it is on a "proper" Linux xterm or as in PuTTY?
Thanks again,
Alexander

I use a bluetooth keyboard with Connectbot, and yes the stupid on-screen keyboard appears, but pressing the Back softkey (or Esc on the keyboard, in my case,) hides it.
Key combos don't work for me, because Ctrl is not passed into the app, I think that's my S3 being dumb, but the Menu key on the keyboard brings up the menu with copy/paste and other options, so that at least is OK.
I think a mouse would technically work, but most apps are designed for touch-only, so I don't know if they would handle a mouse correctly. And it would probably be an app-by-app question.
I'm loving ics on the hp touchpad but I'm having a lot of problems with the hp Bluetooth keyboard in android. Note it's pairing up just fine but Ihave the forllowing issues.
Not all keys on the keyboard work properly, ie the shift and caps lock don't work. Notice all the missing caps in the this post. Only caps are auto entreated by the spell checker.
The soft or virtual keyboard always pops up for any input and Ihave to close it to get it out for the way.
any help in resolving these issues would be greatly appreciated.
note I'm using classicnerd v2 but I've had the same problems no matter what rom. I've installed.
Thanks
Bob
I AM USING MY HP KEYBOARD RIGHT NOW. caps work SHIFT works....most of the xtra keys on top work...i.e. volume, power button...brightness does not but search and home do work...maybe change your batteries.
I bought this bluetooth keyboard which is designed for IPAD2 for my Touchpad. It seems to connect well and even recognized as an input device. But no key i pressed is working. And normal android keyboard pops up whenever keyboard is needed..
I am using OAT's ROM.. Anyone having this issue resolved please respond.
Thanks in advance.
have you tried typing a key and see if the pairing number appears?
Perhaps try an other rom?
Which keyboard do you use?
