I'm looking to pickup a blueooth keyboard (and mouse) to use with my Blackberry Playbook and I was just wondering what if any bluetooth keyboards folks are using with their tablets?

I've updated to 3.1 and tried using my MoGo X54 BT mouse which I was able to pair with my Xoom but once activated it apparently deactivates the keyboard. Has anyone figured out how to use the keyboard without having to turn off the mouse.

Hi all,
I'm trying to find an external keyboard for my rooted, CM7 Optimus T for under $50. It doesn't matter if it's USB or bluetooth keyboard as long as the phone is propped up when typing on the keyboard (an integrated dock would be nice). If you guys have any ideas let me know.
Thanks.
I've never thought of an external keyboard for you're/a phone.Isn't enough the touchscreen keyboard?
I feel like I could type much faster with an external keyboard compared to on-screen keyboard. Plus, the on-screen keyboard that I'm using is a swype-like keyboard so it would be nice if I have a letter-by-letter tactile keyboard as an alternative.
I'm using CM7 2.3.4 (mik_os) and from what I've gathered it could run the standard-fare HID bluetooth keyboard (please correct me if I'm wrong), so I bought one of them off Amazon for $17 (after looking up "mini blueetooth keyboard"). It'll arrive in 2 days so we'll see. Any app that I need to install to configure the keyboard more easily? (I've heard many bluetooth keyboards don't have Android instructions).
The other thing I would like is to prop up the phone when I type so I'll probably need some sort of a kick stand or a dock. Any suggestions? I've came across the iGo Stowaway which is a foldable keyboard/stand - a perfect solution but very expensive so I would like a cheaper alternative for a stand after purchasing the keyboard.
Thanks.
Bluetooth keyboard
Hi, I bought a bluetooth keyboard from ebay for around $20 and got it working on cm7 with a program called BlueInput from the market.
Has worked flawlessly evertime for several months.
get an app called WiFi Keyboard on the android market for free.
It works great and can turn any networked computer's keyboard into a keyboard for your android
search at ebay. there are good bluetooth keyboards and u need to install a driver to make it work, which the manufacturer provides
I was planning to buy the original Samsung cover with the bluetooth keyboard integrated and since the optimal usage is to pair a bluetootht mouse I was wondering whether they can connect and work at the same time with the tab...
Yes of course.
I use the BT keyboard and BT mouse build by Motorola for his tablet and the both works fine at the same time.
But, I think the device need the BT protocol >2.0
I have a dinovo mini that has a touch pad and keyboard and both works like a charm, you get a mouse pointer and the keyboard works without any apps or stuff. Perfect for using your tab as a computer or media station

I paired a bluetooth keyboard and bluetooth mouse with my Fire 7 (rooted with Nexus ROM loaded). It now works like a small android touchscreen notebook.
I am using a Logitech Bluetooth Multi-Device Keyboard (K480) and a Microsoft Bluetooth Sculpt Touch Mouse.
You don't need to touch the screen, unless you want to. The mouse performs all touch and drag functions. All of the screen touch functions still work (except the on-screen keyboard does not appear as the bluetooth keyboard takes over).
When using a bluetooth mouse alone, the on-screen keyboard no longer appears. So you should use a bluetooth mouse and bluetooth keyboard in combination.
This turns the Fire 7 into a touchscreen android laptop. It works in portrait or landscape mode.
When you turn off bluetooth on either the tablet or the mouse and keyboard, the tablet returns to normal operation.
I have also used other brands of bluetooth mice and bluetooth keyboards on the Fire 7, bluetooth 3.0 & 4.0. They all seemed to work well.
If you have a bluetooth mouse and bluetooth keyboard laying around, pair it up with the Fire 7 and you will have a $50 notebook.
