has anyone gotten minecraft controls to work with the transformer's keyboard dock? As in you can move using asdw and the arrow keys? I just want to know because the option to not use touch input is greyed out in the options on minecraft
thanks in advanced =)
Does not work for me. I noticed that when I tried using the WASD controls, only the W registered, but it changed to another block.
I've already contacted Mojang about this, keyboard support is planned in a future version.

Hello! Colemak typist here.
Can you change the layout of the keyboard? I don't mind about the physical layout, just the software mapping. I have no idea how he keyboard is handled so could someone kindly work out if this is possible? And if Colemak is available?
Thanks!
Nobody with a keyboard who can quickly check this out for me?
If you don't get a reply shout me tonight and ill give it a go.
hmmmm. cant see anything that allows keyboard remapping in the settings.... which is a shame as my @ and " are not as per the layout ... which is odd .....
Could always try button remapper beta off the market. I don't know if it will work on the dock keyboard but I could remap some of the keys using a usb keyboard on my viewsonic g tab. Something to try at least.

One way to do it is go to this website to get a general idea about remapping. Then download the KeyTest.apk from the author.
When you start the app you can see which scancodes are created. Now go to /system/usr/keylayout (most likely requires root) and change the keyboard layout that is associated with your keyboard. If you don't know, download aLogCat from the market. When you connect a keyboard it will show up in the log. For special characters and shortcuts modify the appropriate keychar table in /system/usr/keychars.
Hope that helps. It worked on my XOOM for a generic BT keyboard that had lots of Apple keys.
Wonderful. Thankyou all for your helpful posts! Very glad to know there is a way to do this, even if it is not an official option.
Thanks again.

You need to change the software keyboard to the ASUS one in order to get correct layout on dock keyboard.
As a follow up post - I got a transformer with dock. Downgraded to 8.2.3.9, rooted and found the keyboard layout in /usr/xt9/keylayout/qwerty-en_GB.kl. I edited by hand (thankfully it's a lovely human readable text file) and now am enjoying colemak! Woot!
I might write a little how-to so that anyone can do it quickly and easily.
I am having trouble setting up the keyboard bindings in FPse. It seems like the only keys that work are the arrow keys, none of the letter keys will work when they are bound to actions.
All of the buttons bind perfectly fine in other emulators like snesoid and gameboid. Does anyone know of a way to get the keyboard dock to bind correctly in FPse ?
Really ? No one else has this problem ? Does anyone else even use the keyboard for FPse ? For me it was one of the major reason I wanted the dock.
Got the same issues in all of Tiger King's emulators
The non-character keys work (dpad, spacebar, shift, alt, etc.) but the letters and numbers don't ;(
Wonder if the 3.1 update fixes this.
I have updated to 3.1 already.
Hey everyone,
This may be a bit of an off question as it applies to all android phones not ust the one s but here goes....
I just picked up an iHome Bluetooth Keyboard, designed for the ipad. Connected with ease to my one S and I am currently using it to type out this post. Works fantastic. No lag to speak of and the keys are really nice. One drawback, it is designed for Ipad lol. Sooooo the question here is whether or not it is possible to remap the keys on the keyboard to perform funtions on Android. I.e. map the function buttons to quicklaunch apps or to use the arrow keys to roll around the UI as I have not yet picked up a mouse. the arrow keys work in certain apps like the text message app or the browser. keyboard is a dream for emulation, takes me back to my early pc no gamepad emulation days lol. anyways, if anyone has some input on the subject i would love to hear it. Thanks in advance to your helpful replies. Love this community!!!

Hi,
I've managed to remap some hotkeys by opening up the terminal emulator (which you can download here) and inserting the string "am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.quicklaunch.QuickLaunchSettings" without quotes (thanks to norristh for this). This way you can map each search+letter shortcut and, IN MY KEYBOARD, hotkeys are nothing but a search+letter combination (I mean, if you change the search+letter behaviour you also change the hotkey behaviour).
The only hotkeys I haven't been able to get working are the apps key and the mute key (they aren't probably integrated natively in android).
Try it out!
i bought an ihome bluetooth wireless keyboard and i am unable to pair it with my inspire4g. i need some help please. i try to type ''0000'' and ''1234'' with no luck. what am i missing. it's a race to get this done because my girlfriend wants me to take it back, but i know it will work.

just wondering if anybody have tried this mouse. I'm looking for a $20 - 30 mouse that would work good. I've read that some mouse are laggy/slow on pixel c. I have a logitech k480 keyboard and was thinking of pairing a mouse would be nice since I use google sheets and remote to computers (via vmware horizon client) a lot.
I've been using my pretty old Logitech Bluetooth mouse from about 5 years ago without any issue on the pixel c. Can't remember the model number (I think that stuff has all come off it now).
Thanks brown geek!
I was using a Logitech T630 and now use a Logitech MX Anywhere 2 - both work just fine. I notice you mention Horizon Client - one thing to keep in mind with the Pixel is that if you are using the hardware keyboard, hitting the key to bring up the symbols panel does not work. Windows just treats it like an Alt key. If you need to send a special symbol, you need to use the field in the Horizon client that allows you compose a string of text and then send it to the VM - that way, you are allowed to bring up the symbols pane. Not a huge deal if you don't need a lot of symbols, but a mild annoyance.

I'm using a microsoft M3600 mouse. It's a very good mouse.
It was not supported correctly by android 6.0 some weeks ago, so I reported the issue : it's still not working with 6.0 build but this mouse is now working perfectly on android N (google fixed the issue on N recently).
I suppose the fix should be in the next build of 6.0 too .

This mouse is very light and the autonomy is very good as it's a LE mouse, the tracking is also very precise.
Just tried the Pixel with a Magic mouse 2 from work. Running latest Android N preview.
I have never used a mouse previous to this on android so here's what I found.
Mouse just adds pointer, no gestures, just as if you were using your finger, cant even scroll.
Looking at youtube videos suggests the scroll should work (Magic mouse 1 on older android OS) so I will test this with my aging S4 to see how it responds.

Ok so my S4 behaves the same with the added support for a right click it seems which acts as a back button.
I assume there is not a lot that can be done about and I just need to see what the full Android N release may support.
I'm using the Logitech T630. It has a touch surface with gesture support.
Has anyone used a USB hub and plugged in a wired mouse? Wondering if I could do that with a mouse I already have rather than buy a Bluetooth mouse.

How well does the gesture support work?
Can you swipe to move between home screens and scroll in browsers etc?
Just interested as I ran a input logging app and only the general movement and left and right click seem to suggest they were sending data from the Magic Mouse 2.
Cheers,

I just got this mouse as well. There is no physical scrolling wheel, but you can move your fingers forwards and backwards anywhere on the mouse to scroll vertically and swipe left and right on the mouse to switch pages in your launcher. (It won't take you back from Google Now to your homescreen in the Google Launcher for some reason, but you can accomplish it with a click-and-drag) The scrolling is very responsive and works well, although Nougat does not give you a whole lot of options for adjusting things such as scrolling speed, only tracking speed. There may be third party apps for this, though.
I've seen other mention that right clicking functions as a back button for them, but this has been very app-dependant for me.
Hey there,
this is my first post because I am about to switch from my jailbreaked iPhone to a rooted Android device. I'm curious if there is a tweak around that lets me use my keyboard as a trackpad. Apple implemented that feature by force touch the keyboard. But for devices which don't support 3D touch there is a tweak called KBSwipe9 which allows you to use this feature just by tapping with two fingers on the keyboard.
So I am searching for something like KBSwipe9 for Android.
I am considering to grab a Galaxy S8 and since they have a 3D like 'home button' I am wondering whether you could use this hardware and make a real iPhone like tweak when you are in keyboard mode.
I would be glad if anyone got any ideas or knows how to implemet that because it is a very small but neat function which I probably would miss on Android.
Cheers :good:
