ok i looked in the search and didnt see anything so im sorry if i missed the thread if there was one.. with that said im looking for opnions on the keyboard dock. i have the TF1 and my two questions is does the keyboard scratch the screen with the keys when its folded up, and two is it worth the 130 price? im torn as i would love the keyboard feature and the extra battery life but im not sure if thats worth the 130. so anyone with the keyboard could you please tell me your thoughts on this.
The keyboard dock keys do not touch the screen, so there is no problem with scratching.
If you do any significant amount of data entry (creating documents, spreadsheets, etc.),
I think the dock is invaluable. I couldn't imagine doing any large amount of typing on even
the best on-screen keyboard. The extra battery in the dock is also great.
Bottom line: if you EVER need to write anything longer than a short email or tweet, then get the keyboard dock.
i love my dock, plus you cant beat the extra batt, fyll usb, and extra storage (im using 64g SDXC)!
I can't imagine using the transformer (or any tablet) fulltime without the dock, it's essential.
There is no way I would pony £400 for a tablet-only device like the iPad2 or the Galaxy Tab, but would easilly spend that on a eee Transformer with the dock.
This is WHY the transformer trumps everything else out there.
i bought the dock for the USB and keyboard. I use this as a RDP machine so i can work remotley and it works like a dream. Extra battery life is awesome and the sd card slot in dock is great because i had a 32 gb card from another device.

The keyboard does not scratch the screen, because doesn't touch the screen, someone as said very well that... well even if the keys touched the screen there is a superb gorilla glass anti scratch.
Please see this mad man testing a TF gorilla glass to the limit, here's the link: http://www.ubergizmo.com/2011/08/asus-eee-pad-transformer-gorilla-glass-test-tf101/
thanks guys, i didnt realize it had gorilla glass, that really should be a bullet point on amazon. i have a few netbooks where the screens scratched thats why i was worried, how does the mouse work, i read on a few sites that it was laggy, is that true?

Having received my transformer this morning, all I can say is i love it! however, there are definitely a few issues that are bugging me;
1. the build quality. i constantly feel where the outer rim and the back casing are supposed to join, but dont and its a constant remind of its quality
2. the dock. its brilliant but the putting the tablet into the dock is so annoying and im afraid I may end up breaking the mechanism on the dock. which leads me to my next point...
3. connectivity. the tablet actually has about as much connectivity as an ipad, which is a REAL shame. would it have been so difficult to implement a micro/usb port onto the tablet? i appreciate the sd card slot but personally I'd have preferred the micro/usb than the sd card, but hey atleast the sd card works! you cannot really experience the transformer properly without the keyboard dock so when docking the tablet I am extremely cautious incase i do do some damage.
4. trackpad. the two buttons on the trackpad also feel really cheap when pressing. I suppose this is to be expected when paying as little I have for this tablet.
My final issue, for now, is the constant freezing of the keyboard which i believe has been addressed in a firmware update in the US and not in the UK. Would be nice to get it soon! anyone know when we brits get this update, and any other update there is floating around??
there is a USB port adapter being released by Asus in the near future. Also the trackpad feels real solid to me.

they feel like plastic but they feel robust and sturdy to me, or are you experiencing different issues?
happy with the trackpad buttons too..they're robust..
as for the docking mechanism..you'll get used to it eventually...and it's a lot easier to dock after being used for a while.
I have no problems that seriously bother me. If you don't like it there's always the option to return it. I would not keep something that bothers me that much!
I am just waiting to see if its a case of getting used to it, will only return as a very last resort because I'm very happy with the rest of the tablet as I'm sure the majority of transformer users are!
Dock is very solid. And it has usb ports so I'm confused about your review.

i think he means why didnt they add a usb to the tablet as well so if you didnt buy the dock you could have a usb port. i think it would have been a nice feature especially on the left hand side of the tablet where the power and volume buttons are. i do like the dock option especially since it adds more battery life to the tablet.
^ Actually the iPad2 has a dock slot (smartass), it's just basically a keyboard, without any of the usefullness of the TF's dock.
The dock has USB ports, yes, but the tablet itself doesn't. I can see where kashifnazir is going with this; I'd like a USB port - even a micro/mini would do - on the tablet itself as well. If I wanted to just grab something of somone's USB stick, I might not necessarily what to root in my bag for the dock every time.
Regardless, it's relatively minor. The Transformer is still the portable computer I've been waiting for since tablets first hit the market.

I sort of noticed this issue too, but try this:
Press the trackpad button all the way out on the edge. Feels cheap doesn't it? Now press the button about halfway between the edge and the rubber bumper that the screen rests on when closed. Now, it feels almost better than some netbook trackpad buttons I've used.
My thoughts after some time on the TF
Charger: It appears that the charger is marginal at best and when used to charge the TF/Dock combo with medium battery remaining the charger overheats and either dies or shuts down until it cools. I have been charging separately and if lots of charging is needed, do it in increments. Seems to work fine. Excellent biz opportunity design a 15VDC 3.0a power supply with a USB3.0 female connector.
Dust: The plastic protective cover was covered with dust when I opened the box. Luckily nothing inside the TF. ASUS needs to revisit the assy and packaging cleanliness requirements.
UI: Would be nice to have option to move soft buttons from bottom to side of screen as they are easier to access when holding the device.
Case creek. My case is solid, but I noticed that the hinge on the dock is very stiff and I can see how opening and closing the combo by pushing on the TF could easily cause considerable stress on the case causing it to flex.
Overall for an early adopted device I am impressed.

I understand, but from a business perspective, I think it would have been a horrible idea for Asus to include a USB/micro USB port on the tablet itself. They wouldn't have the potential to sell nearly as many docks, and getting consumers to buy both parts is how they've chosen to market the Transformer.

Has anybody physically tried to use the HP Touchpad with either the Zaggmate w/Keyboard (originally for ipad1)? or the Zaggfolio (originally for the ipad2)? I have already compared measurements but I want to know if someone has actually tried it.

Love the Aluminium case idea but an iPad case on the TP is going to have gaps at the corners, I don't know how that would affect the way it closes/stays shut.
/edit, Just had a closer look at the middle link keyboard, I can see typing on that being a real pain, having to 'reach over' the case sides all the time.
I called Zagg and they claim compatibility with pairing for the Zagg solo (http://www.zagg.com/accessories/zaggkeys-solo-ipad-keyboard.php), but i'd be more interested in something with a case as well. the good thing is that their bluetooth pairing seems to play well across devices, so pairing it with android when available should be a breeze.
I'll shoot them an e-mail to see if they can tell me if any of there cases would fit snuggly with the touchpad and report back here when I find out.
I noticed it is pretty much the same keyboard used in all those just different cases.. Another sweet lookin case is a New Trent for ipad2.. I have to find the link again.

The problem you are going to encounter (as has been pointed out a number of times) is that the TouchPad is slightly thicker (about 1mm) than the iPad and anything that clips around the thing tightly is going to come up short for the TouchPad. in other words, if the case is designed for the iPad to sit down snugly inside it somehow, the TP will NOT fit within those confines.
Sorry.

They said they used the Zaggmate...
Zaggmate for ipad1 DOES connect/pair with TP
Ok.. My Zaggmate for the ipad1 arrived today. I was very eager to try it out. First impression solid, well built, keyboard is a little small for my hands I would say it is about a 90% keyboard. Others were right the corners are left exposed as you can see in the pictures below but not bad at all. It does fit well. When sitting in the dock area it does stay still, however do not push on the screen too hard or shake the table as it may give way. OH, and the most important part.. IT DOES pair with the TP (see below posts) and my Motorola Droid 1 but can't get it to work with my LG Revolution, but the TP was the main point. So it DOES WORK!!!
Wow that looks awesome! Mind made up lol!
To pair it, I heard you have to type and combination on the touchpad i.e. 1234
then type the exact same thing on the keyboard. Get back if it works

tried the usuals 1234, 0000 but when it did pair to my LG Revo the # code was 6 numbers
disregard.. it did work using 123456 on both!! Thanks for the tip.
It is a little buggy.. the escape key works to open up the app drawer as well as the button on the TP that lets you switch cards..
To use the alternate punctuation marks like ! @ # $ % ^ or ? " : you have to use caps lock, shift won't work
Apple's command button will also open up the app drawer from home screen
Function key row also has search but that will just bring up the Just Type screen but you can also access that by.. you guessed it.. just typing lol I am still playing around with this.
lol I bet there is a map keyboard app for android ;-)
Got the zaggmate to connect with CyanogenMod however none of the function keys seem to work and the arrow keys thinks the tp is always in vertical mode because that how they move. Unless an update will fix some of the issues probably wont work in Android well enough to use regularly.. might buy the zaggkeys solo and see how that works since they list compatibility with Android tabs.

*EDIT*: After some playing around the number/letter/punctuation keys work for basic typing. Search key works, command does nothing, Volume keys work, tab, shift, caps lock all work fine. Anyone following the "issues" from the rootz wiki forum, someone came up with a fix (qwerty.kl file) that allegedly works with the HP Touchpad OEM Bluetooth keyboard to fix the issue with the directional arrow keys only move as if the TP was always in vertical position. This also occurs with the Zaggmate however the "fix" didn't fix it.

Just wondering if the transformer could be plugged into the dock either way? As in can you also plug into the dock so that the screen is facing you while the keyboard is behind the screen. I would assume that you cannot but it would be nice if you could dock it both ways so that if you just want a stand and don't need the keyboard you could do it that way.
Man I hope the transformer prime does get released on the 9th and has sufficient stock! I was eagerly awaiting the original but after the crazyness trying to get one I just ended up getting a BBQ instead!
um.. no? you can use the dock as a stand the normal way as well.. just don't use the keyboard I do this quite often when watching videos. Well, I mean, I guess you could do it the other way if you wanted to break the pin connector? But assuming that you don't want to do that, no you can not do that.
Have fun with the Prime! I'll be watching it to see how the developers do with it.. won't be picking one up though.
No need to assume anything. Try to insert the charging cable into the port the "other way" and see if it will fit.
Thanks for the reply. Yah I figured the connection would only work one way.
Really its not a big deal but it would be nice so you could have the screen right at the edge of the table you are putting it on. Really no biggie but was just wondering.
I don't blame you for not making the upgrade. If I had the original I doubt I would pull the trigger on the Prime either.

Haha, I was gonna suggest getting an ipad2. While you still can't put in the connection backward with the ipad2, at least you know the best tablet on the market, the one that everyone wants, can't do this and so it's forgivable.
My experience in this is that people tend to complain about everything in a less popular tablet while turn a blind eye on ipad2 weaknesses. Take light bleeds, for example. People have been crying bloody murder about TF light bleeds since day one. Most ipad2 users don't even care about their ipad2 light bleeds. And let me tell you, all devices with ips display have light bleeds.
Actually, let me suggest it now. If you want to be able to insert the connection in backwards, buy an ipad2.

I just purchased a tf700 2days ago and i love it but always wishing it to have a pen digitizer , now that the galaxy note 10.1 is already available at bestbuy , the same place where i purchase my tf700 i'm going to return it and get the samsung. I really like the resolution on the asus but the productivity samsung offers using the digitizer is something thats hard to resist. I'm also using an ipad3 so i know how hard to go back to a low resolution like the samsung.
Is it a good move to replace it or just keep it?

Well, I think the Infinity with the keyboard dock (and a wireless mouse) is a super productivity device. I can't really see making that much use of the pen digitizer, so for me it's a no brainer...I would keep the Infinity. But it depends on what you think you'd get more use out of.
Good luck.

I say go with the Infinity, Samsung's update track record is horrible, and the plastic build quality is lacking compared to the Aluminum shell on the Infinity.

You guys really need to do some research. You're comparing apples to oranges.
I traded my Nexus for the Note on Friday and immediately fell in love. Of course, there are a few things I would change about the Note – there are a few things I would change about every smartphone. Aside from being stuck on Gingerbread (with TouchWiz no less), though, I have very little to complain about. And after spending just shy of a week with the phablet, I'm surprised by how much I actually find myself using what I thought to be the least notable feature of the Note, the S Pen (stylus).
Being a stylus, granted it is far better than your typical capacitive stylus and comes with additional functionality (the button), I honestly never thought I would use it all that much. I had no reason to hate it, like most people do, but I figured it would stay in its slot in the back of the phone. I've had my fair share of capacitive styluses (styli?) and found them to be no better than a shaky, inaccurate finger.
I knew the S Pen was different, but I doubted it could be that much different or better. I had tried it in passing (with a few demo units at CES and with Aaron's Note during his challenge), but a few minutes with it really doesn't do the S Pen any justice or give the users the full scope of its abilities.
So what makes it so much better than your average stylus? For one, it isn't capacitive; it's inductive. Using a capacitive stylus, if you touch your hand to the display while trying to write, your palm may also make marks on the display or cause the application to zoom in or out. Since the S Pen is inductive, when it is in use, capacitive input is shut off entirely until the S Pen is lifted from the screen, so you can rest your palm on the display without worrying. But it also has a tiny point about the size of the tip of a ballpoint pen, like resistive styluses of yesteryear. Capacitive styluses come with either felt or rubber tips, making them big and inaccurate.
Like I said, I literally thought I would never use the S Pen. But the Note has replaced the Nexus as my primary device, and I have noticed that I'm using the S Pen almost every time I turn the device on – which is very often. Even if I don't use it, I pull the S Pen out when I flip the cover (I'm using the Samsung Flip Cover on my Note, pictured above) around back and have it ready to go if I need it for a screen shot or a quick note.

I am charging them both to 100% before I really get into it with them.
What one do you think would have the better battery life?
The pen is a nice thing to have once and a while.
I will never buy the dock for the ASUS. I want a tablet not a mini computer.
The shell does not really matter to me. The Samsung does not really feel cheap or like it would break easily. If you drop one of them and it is damaged i am sure the other one would would not be in great shape either.
Is there a difference in the screen material?
Isn't having a Samsung and an Apple in the same household against the law or something...
hello fellow tf700 users! I was wondering if anyone has come across their tablet not locking to the keyboard dock properly and if there is a way to fix it? When I put my tablet into the dock I can hear the locking mechanism clicks but I can easily move my tablet out of the dock without having to unlock it from the dock with the actual switch. It's is quite annoying. Is it because My digitizer is cracked so its not fitting snuggly? I used the tf300 keyboard for a while before getting the tf700 one and although it worked the dock opening was slightly wider than the actual tablet so my screen cracked after a lot of closing and opening the dock/tablet. could t be my tablet isn't fitting snugly into the dock?

I used the tf300 keyboard for a while before getting the tf700 one and although it worked the dock opening was slightly wider than the actual tablet so my screen cracked after a lot of closing and opening the dock/tablet. could t be my tablet isn't fitting snugly into the dock?

I have seen several posts of people saying that the little plastic thing that actually keeps the lock tight break easily. Maybe that's what happened to yours?
Man, you do seem to have gotten a serious lemon! You complain about everything, and everything has broken spontaneously or with some help from you. LOL!
Is there any part of your tablet that isn't broken?

loool, my tablet is actually running really smooth now, I just ask a lot of questions. Yea I read about the keyboard dock and apparently it is quite common for the tablet not to lock correctly. also only my keyboard lock and digitzer is broken > lol my digitzer is coming in from hongkong this week though and im excited to replace it cause I figured out how to install it myself!

I do hope it works out for you! Godspeed!
My dock won't lock at all. In fact even when its closed I think its going to come apart. I am on my second unit and it happened again. I have no idea why. I am not hard on it at all and it barely leaves my couch. Has Asus commented on this problem at all. In my opinion this is a major problem. Otherwise, I love the unit.
