I like Diamond very much, but when I have to write an email which is more than couple of words, then it is rather problem with the size of the screen. I though it will be great if we could use a mini keyboard for writting text.
I tried to find any, but some I found are rather big keyboards.
Has sone one found a mini keyboard which we can use with our device?? It can be with bluetooth, but if it was with the USB it will be even better!!!!!
i have a targus thumb keyboard and it works flawlessly with my diamond..its about the same size as the diamond and works through bluetooth..

Just wanna share this...
A mini keyboard also known as an ergonomic keyboard, has many benefits. There are many definitions of ergonomics, keep in mind that they vary based on the working conditions. The most basic definition is the science of people-machine relationships. Make sure that you become aware with each and every aspect of ergonomics so that you can avoid problems that come from working with the wrong posture.
Have you tried this one? http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.16685
What do you guys think about the compatibility of a flexible bluetooth keyboard that is being sold on ebay? I'm looking for something compact that I can fit in my pocket and take to class to take notes. It says that it is compatible with Android. Anyone have any experience with it?
lol y do u need one of these things, the android keyboard is pretty good
yeah the android keyboard is pretty good. But I definitely can type faster on a full sized keyboard. And I'm sure others can also.
So the question remains. Is the G2x capable to link to a bluetooth keyboard and possibly a mouse also? Anyone tried it, yet?
This one works good with the ps3 and lots of android phones

That thing is tiny. Looks like you can only type with your thumbs or peck at it with one of your fingers.
I'm looking at something more like this:

or this:

But they don't look like they can connect to an android though.
I used an old apple bluetooth keyboard lying around. It paired and connected as a HID (Human Interface Device). Needed no configuration, it took over the keyboard automatically. You can navigate menus with it aswell. I've never tried a mouse though.
Ive even used a full sized Logitec desktop Bluetooth keyboard (mx-5000) and it paired up just fine.

Really??? Why doesn't anyone talk about this? My case converts to a landscape kickstand so I could prop it up while typing. I wonder if I could use it in a coffee house like a laptop after all? Hmmmmmm!
The only rom I ever got to work with a bluetooth keyboard for the G2x was with CM7. Be aware that it might have to come down to flashing your phone to this Rom if you decide you do want to use a BT keyboard.
My only concern would be how difficult it would be to see the screen if you're four feet away in a comfortable typing position.
And if you're getting a full sized keyboard, lugging it around would be a pain. Easier to just use a laptop if you have one.

Hi guys. I came to the One X after owning a huge load of smartphones equipped with physical qwerty keyboards. I do type decently on the One X, but I miss the precision of physical qwerty.
What options do we have, among either Bluetooth and NFC keyboards? I know there are some horrible chinese keyboards, but I consider those quite useless.
There is for example a Logitech Dnovo Mini, how could we hook it up (physically) to our One X? How long would it take to the phone to recognize it? Would there be any lags in typing?
Has anyone found another way?
Post your thoughts here!!!
Best

Can't speak of the Dinovo Mini specifically, but I have this full -sized Logitech Bluetooth keyboard, that I bought for my HTC Flyer tablet. Don't really use it that much. But it gets recognized by the tablet very quickly (as fast as any other BT device, like headset). Typing is very responsive, and has no significant lag. If the Dinovo Mini works anything the same (and you like the form factor), I think you would be pleased with it.
It's not likely we will see a slide-out keyboard for the One XL.
The camera bulge and shape of the phone makes producing the cases troublesome. The placement of the camera is also an issue, a slide out keyboard would cover the camera and flash.
The only phones that have historically gotten keyboard cases are flat-backed phones with the camera in the corner. The iPhone 5 will be geting a keyboard, the LG nexus might as well.
Our only hope is that the one X+ is the same shape as the one XL, so if anyone makes a keyboard for that phone we could use it as well.
If you just want a keyboard, any bluetooth keyboard will work. A quick search for "bluetooth mini keyboard" will show you plenty of results.
What existing bluetooth keyboard are there as best options? As far as size goes, I'd want a 7.7" keyboard max (better if 5"). I'd really want to skip links to the chinese samples for sale on eBay, those aren't going to fit my requirements for a reason or another.
I have seen the Logitech Dinovo Mini Keyboard. I'd have to invent a way to attach the two as if they were a single device, most of the time. Did anyone do that?
Thanks!!

Has anyone found a keyboard cover with a built in trackpad? I love the look of the Samsung Keyboard but it is 150 bucks, and doesnt have a trackpad.
Here are 3:

There is also the Lenovo USB/Bluetooth compact keyboard with trackpoint at around 65,- EUR, might be the best for extended typing. Also it provides the middle click mouse button for scrolling. Though it does get a little clumsy for transportation.

Size wise the Motorola Wireless Keyboard (Dimensions: 246mm x 142mm x 7mm) is the smallest. For comparison, Galaxy Tab S, 8.4: 212.8 x 125.6 x 6.6 mm, 10.5: 247.3 x 177.3 x 6.6 mm

I personally have a foldable keyboard from Think Outside, which is super compact. And a Samsung BT Keyboard. As both don't have pointing device integrated, you always need to use it with a mouse. Also when you pick up the tablet when connected, the on screen keyboard does not pop up and you have to switch manually which get annoying.
From my experience it is also very difficult to change keyboard layouts, so ideally you should use the same at work, at home and mobile.
Anyone any experience with a bluetooth keyboard ? I am planning to buy one, also to use with the Z3 tablet I want to buy. I know years ago, the bluetooth keyboards were not that good with tablets.
Just so you know, there is a Specific Section for our Compact Tablet counter parts :laugh: click me!
Also, I personally am using Microsoft Universal Mobile Keyboard, it works quite nice however its quite pricey. I've tried the Zagg Fit-anything 8Inch tablet keyboard and the clamps are right over the power button & theres no where for keyboard access..
another user is using the amazon fire keyboard/touchpad here
