CaseCrown Bluetooth Keyboard works well

I know having a bluetooth keyboard for a phone with a physical keyboard seems silly, but for long emails (and really for any typing) I find the physical keyboard to be lacking. It may be that I have small hands, but it is uncomfortable and I can never really get my rhythm with it. Anyway, I have been eyeing this keyboard for a while and finally decided to purchase it. I got the iPad version since it was Prime eligible on Amazon. I purchased it also because I am in the market for a 7" tab and wanted a keyboard of comparable size.
It's a small keyboard, about 8.5" wide. They keys are springy and have a nice feel to them. The pairing was a bit trickier than other phones I have used. I had to do the initial pairing, then select the device in the paired list and hit a key on the keyboard to activate it. It doesn't seem to pull up the on screen keyboard when in use, which was a nice surprise. I had already downloaded nullKeyboard in anticipation of that happening.
EDIT: I am not very observant. It does pull up the on screen keyboard. I don't know how I missed it!!
One downside (although minor) is that it doesn't use a standard USB end. It is something smaller than microUSB. Not a big deal, though it would have been nice not to have another cable to keep up with. I haven't used it enough to give any sort of estimate on battery life, but these sorts of things are usually pretty long lasting.

That's a good posting, thank you.
I just ordered a bluetooth keyboard before thanksgiving:
http://www.amazon.com/Verbatim-9753...LT2E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1322557358&sr=8-1
I'll post a review about it when I get it.
I agree with your sentiment about having a physical keyboard.
I want to plug my phone into a TV, then sit back on a couch and play with it, leaving the phone by the TV.
This means Bluetooth keyboard, video game controller, and trackpad.
Have you seen any good trackpapds that are bluetooth? being able to use the touchscreen as a touchscreen by proxy of a trackpad seems like the right answer instead of a mouse.

This is the one I have also considered:
http://www.amazon.com/Pyramid-Promini-Trackball-Bluetooth-Keyboard/dp/B004S214IS/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1322575241&sr=8-6
Many people have recommended the keyboard that has the large square trackpad beside it, like this http://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-Keyboard-Symbian-Players-TouchPad/dp/B0042VAXKK/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1322575241&sr=8-14 but the trackpad seems too wide to be able to comfortably type of the keyboard. Seems like you'd have to hold it strange on the right side. I like the first keyboard because the trackball doesn't offset the keyboard by too much.

I've seen that mini-keyboard recommended for the Nook Color.
Thing about it for this phone, though, is it just doesn't seem much different fromthe slide-out keyboard. The trackpad is a nice bonus, but if i'm gonna use a whole new physical keyboard, something like what you got or I ordered seems more worthwhile.
Why strain on tiny little thumb-keys when you can get keys sized for fingers and type normally.
Maybe for another device it would be good - just that mini-keyboard seems like too little gain for too big a hassle. Others may feel different, just my personal thoughts without having one.
I say this, though, and when my keyboard comes in i'll be minus a trackpad, so unable to scroll on the phone and still have to keep it right in front of me - therefore only a partial victory.
I'm really glad to hear that the keyboard you have is working out well for you, I was worried that it would be a pain in the tail to make it work right.

I just got mine in.
Works fantastic, fold up and fits in my cargo pocket of my pants.
Works on two AAA batteries, and I have packs of them just laying around thankfully, though I can't imagine it goes through them fast since it has an off switch.
Pairing was simple and easy, subsequent reconnects are seamless.
I like it, happy customer. Now have a keyboard that goes with my phone that outputs to a larger monitor.

I don't know why I didn't consider a fold up keyboard! So much more handy and easy to tote about. Thanks for the recommendation. I may just have to pick one up (I have a thing for keyboards ...)

Well, if you got a thing for keyboards, let me explain this one a bit more now that i've had it for a day.
It rocks. It's nice to type on, the keys are flat like a laptop. It integrates with android well, haven't had any problems in using it.
It has a little stand that pops out of the back of it, which I can use to support the phone right behind it - very handy.
It folds in half and slips in a case that fits in my cargo pocket - happy. Smaller then my Nook Color when folded, pictured below.
I attached a handful of pictures to give an idea of the size and how it looks.
On each side it has 4 little rubber feet, so when it's folded open it balances on 8 points that don't slide - perfect!
Runs on two AAA batteries, - the only thing is you have to press a recessed button for initial pairing, so you need a tool or something. ( I used a pair of tweezers).
Pictures below:

Do you think that stand would hold a 7" tablet?
Thanks!
Kim

I am quite sure that my Nook Color with the Trident case would break the stand.
It may not, but it sure wouldn't hold it right - it's pretty flimsy.
Fine for the phone, but anything beyond that is asking too much.

Im looking for a bt keyboard for my 7+ that is the same physical size so it close in a case. Any suggestions?

Can you tell me the exact name for this keyboard? I searched in Amazon and it list tons of different keyboard, most are NOT for the 7+.
I did find this though:
http://www.amazon.com/eWonder-TM-Wi...3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1327626663&sr=1-3

My local discount/closeout store (Marc's, here in Ohio) had a bluetooth keyboard that's a little big but the price was right... I think it would be big even with a 10" but I haven't compared it to the family iPad yet. Made by Merkury Innovations (no, that's not a typo), was $30 at the store, runs on 2 AAA batteries (which is great for a distracted individual like myself who forgets to charge up non-daily-use devices if they don't have very clear low-battery warning indicators). I've had a ThinkOutside folding Bluetooth Keyboard that I've been using with my MyTouch 4G Slide (when I want to type more than I want to do on a thumbboard - I use my Android devices for taking notes in my grad classes when I don't feel like lugging along my laptop). The ThinkOutside keyboard is great for portability so long as I'm not going to be typing numbers very much (has no dedicated number keys and I find the hold down function and number key combo annoying). I'm also working on a novel and the TO is great for that but my grad classes involve a lot of numeric input so I decided I wanted something with numbers. Tested out the MI keyboard, all the main keys are properly mapped. Not entirely sure about the control/option+alt/command keys. It is about the same keyspacing as a standard keyboard but very little room around the edges. Considering picking up another for our media PC hooked to the television in the family room (cheap nettop box, wanted something a bit more advanced than a roku for the kids to play educational games on & such). We use Unified Remote on our Android devices to control that television to good effect, keyboard would be more for the kids to use and this one is good footprint and price for that use also.

Which Marc's?

bought this at my local Fry's. I know it's a little bit longer than the Tab+ but I think it's the perfect size while not making the keys too small and thin enough when i want to pack a keyboard with me. I tried a few where the keyboard was exactly the same length as the tablet and the keys were so small and cramped that it wasn't worth it with all the errors introduced during my typing test.
Manufactured by Azio and can pair and switch between 6 different BT devices via hotkey.
The only thing i was hoping to see by now is a keyboard that has android shortcut keys for the home, back, search, and recent. Has anyone seen a hardware keyboard that does that?

dealextreme case
I purchased that keyboard case from dealextreme. It took a wile to get here but was in good condition. The unit worked fine connected well and works as advertised. I do have several problems with it. The tab does not fit tightly in the holder. The case adds significantly to the size of the tab. There is nothing to hold the case closed. The final downfall is I think I can type faster on the onscreen keyboards.

Any Keyboard Updates?
I'm also in the market for a keyboard for my tabby.
Anybody find any additional keyboards that are worth looking at?
Also do you experience lag when using your keyboard?
Plus, can you use a mouse with the tab+?

Logitech Tablet Keyboard
I just picked up a Logitech Tablet Keyboard (NOT the Logitech iPad keyboard - they are different models). Build quality is awesome - this is a solid yet still lightweight device. It had no problem pairing up with the GT+ and did not drop any keystrokes when I used it to type.

Added bonus - the Logitech keyboard fits perfectly in a Vera Bradley "Cheers to You" wine bottle tote. For the stylish girl geeks.

I have the Official Keyboard Dock from Samsung and I really enjoy it.

I finally decided and picked up the Logitech bluetooth keyboard for Android. Pretty nifty; seems like a sold keyboard, synched right away to my 7+, like the fact that the keyboard has its own case that converts into a stable angled perch for the 7+ and that you can use it with the table either in landscape or portrait. Though I do wish it had multiple tilt lockings so I can choose what angle my 7+is perched at. So far, very pleased with the purchase.

I was thinking of getting a keyboard but are there any real advantages?other than the hole physical keyboard its self?

If you find that you are typing more than short messages or notes, you might want to consider it.

[Q] iPhone as a mouse for Xoom?

Wow! I sure have been out of touch with this forum for a while! Lots of things have changed; members, mods, and now I have no idea what most of these threads are even referring to!
However, that's absolutely not a reflection of how I've been with my Xoom. I've had it by my side everyday, and it's all but replaced my behemoth laptop, which was hot $#!+ 8 years ago, but is slow as molasses flowing uphill in January compared go my over locked Xoom 1. Still not a single scratch on her, either.
I'm slipping my flame retardant suit on right now as I type this before I tell you all reading that I bought an iPhone 4s instead of the Razor Maxx.
BUT... both I and my iPhone know it's place next to my Xoom, and that is of a lowly mouse!
My black iPhone 4s is pretty spiffy and compliments my Xoom very nicely. But they don't play all that well together very often.
I'm looking for a mouse app on my iPhone and a server for my Xoom, and I can't seem to find anything. I'm asking here because the iPhone forums I've visited in the past seem to have a lot of trolls who, if they don't know the answer, demonstrate it by bashing Android. (I've always enjoyed more mature discussions here. -hint hint)
So if anyone can help, I'm much obliged. Of course, the Xoom is rooted and the iPhone is jail busted.

You mean, like a trackball type mouse?

Webe++ is an apple app that turns the iPhone into a virtual mouse, like a track pad, I suppose, but with virtual buttons, etc. Supposedly it works via Bluetooth, however you have to download a server to your PC or apple computer (even PlayStation). Of course, Android is left out. I guess the "server" contains their proprietary BTstack (???). My Xoom will "see" it and show me the pairing dialogue asking for the key, but then it never pairs with it.
Why...
I have a Motorola BT keyboard, which I love using with my Xoom at work. I also have a SoundBlade by Altec which delivers fantastic sound. These things all fit very nicely into my bag except for my lumpy little Bluetooth mouse. So I'm on a quest to find a set of apps (or whatever) to make my iPhone act like a track pad for my Xoom. I use my Xoom at work like its a laptop. I have full access to my home computer remotely which greatly expands my tablets capabilities. I also often access and transfer files from my phone to my tablet. Even though it's a touch screen, at work I prefer to set it up like a laptop using a mouse/track pad. While working, trying to touch specific words in a document gets frustrating, and using a stylus means I have to tilt the tablet... then the overhead lights reflect off the screen and it becomes a PITA.
A few other guys in my department carry in their huge laptops every morning. I have to show these guys up!:laugh: I can't have them see me using my tablet as being anything other than effortless and magical!

Why not a Bluetooth keyboard with a track pad? Might want to make sure it would work with Xoom though

Galaxy keyboard vs Logitech keyboard?

For those of you who have tried both keyboards for the 10.5 inch tablet, which one do you prefer and recommend? I've been debating which one to get. Any advice you could provide would be greatly appreciated, especially since I have to order them online at this point since I'm in Canada.

After having bought many Logitech devices, an alarmingly large number that have failed, I will never buy Logitech again.

I don't know how true but the best buy guy told me they've been seeing some tablets return with cracked screens because of the Logitech keyboard. The Samsung keys are recessed so might not cause an issue. I can't be certain of any of this but thought I'd drop in.
Sent from my Galaxy Tab S

I have the Samsung bluetooth keyboard, and I played around with the Logitech at Best Buy. My honest opinion is that neither of them are meant for any major projects. Web browsing, emails, or maybe a short paper. Honestly, they are good keyboards. They just feel very cramped due to the size screen that they are attached to. I love the form factor of the Samsung, but I feel like I have giant hands when I'm typing on it. The keys also seem sort of slippery to me. I don't know if that makes sense, since most of the time I press a key, and my finger slides off and presses the one above it.
Am I happy with the purchase??? Time will tell I guess.
IT'S DAMN SEXY THOUGH!

Does the Samsung keyboard charge the tablet when connected?

Nope. There is no external power connection between them when connected. The keyboard doesn't even come with it's own charger.

I bought a refurbished logitch K810 on newegg for $50.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...&cm_mmc=TEMC-RMA-Approvel-_-Content-_-text-_-
At that price point it's well worth it. No issues with it after a few weeks of use.
edit: this is an external keyboard that I find works well. When I want to type a long message I grab the keyboard and turn it on, tablet immediately detects it. Any other general browsing, I turn it off and set it aside. Find I rarely ever need it.
Since I already have the book cover, I see no need for a smaller, less practical keyboard attached to a case.

Clamshell keyboard

Hi,
Has anybody found a good clamshell keyboard that would fit the Pixel C? I mean keyboards that have a hinge at the back where you fit the tablet and then can close it like a notebook, and, most importantly, change the angle any way you see fit.
My old Asus TF101 had one, my old Asus ZD 300C too: http://www.amazon.co.uk/ASUS-ZenPad...F8&qid=1458037706&sr=8-2&keywords=asus+zd300c
Currently I am using on the Pixel C a Caseflex one (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Caseflex-Bl...&qid=1458037593&sr=8-2&keywords=caseflex+ipad) that I had for an iPad Air 2 (that is now back at Apple), it fits in the hinges, but is about 1.5cm too tall, does not go to sleep when I close it, and the Apple keyboard is weird.
So I am looking for a clamshell keyboard either for the Pixel C (don't think there is one yet), or a universal one for Android. Heck, I barely need the keyboard as such, I'd settle for a stand with a hinge that I can put on my belly/torso then adjust the angle (I've been bedridden for 1.5 months with 2+ to go). A folio type won't work within these constraints.

Are you avoiding the official Portfolio Keyboard for any reason in particular? That or the metal keyboard would most likely fit your requirements and can be bought direct from Google's website:
Metal Keyboard: https://store.google.com/product/pixel_c_keyboard
Folio Case Keyboard: https://store.google.com/product/pixel_c_folio_keyboard

The folio type keyboards, as well as the official one (not exactly folio, more like the logitech one) have many "problems" as far as I'm concerned:
They have 1 or at best 2 angles, compared to anything between 0 and 130+.
I can't imagine lying down and keeping a folio type keyboard properly balanced on my torso/belly, nor rolling on one side without it falling apart
The ones that look like the official one cannot be opened or closed as easily and quickly as a notebook-type clamshell KB
Besides they cost 100€+ more than the clamshell types, which typically go for about 30€. That's way too much money for too much inconvenience.

Fair enough, I just didn't see any reference to the official ones in your opening post so thought I'd suggest it
I use mine for business when I'm sat at a desk so I just USB hub and keyboard it. I have a folio case which keeps it at more-or-less the right angle.

I loved my TF101, if the Pixel C had the dock of the TF101 this would be the perfect device!

I'm reviving this instead of making a new thread. Has anyone found anything yet? I found a bunch on Amazon for the iPad 4 and I noticed that the Pixel C almost has the exact dimensions of the iPad 4.
iPad 4: 241.2 x 185.7 x 9.4 mm
Pixel C: 242 x 179 x 7 mm
I think something like this would be awesome, it would be even better if it had a trackpad, but I rarely use the one on my current bluetooth keyboard anyway.
I have the official Folio keyboard case, but only use it when travelling since it lacks a full keyboard.

Out of interest have you used or played with the official Metal Keyboard?
If it just costs to much that's fair enough however mine never leaves the tablet now and once you get used to the magnetic snap it is very quick to setup.
It works at pretty much any angle I could want and also due to the solid case will balance the Pixel anywhere.
Much like the situation you describe I do have it lying on me in bed etc.
Lastly it matches the Pixel perfectly and protects the screen although there is obviously no protection to the back of the device etc.
I got the keyboard as I wanted to use it from some work stuff as well however as above I never have them apart as I find it so practical.
Bluetooth issues have been resolved now and the connection I experience is very good.
Let me know if you want to know anything else about it but from owning one for a year or so from release I am very happy with it.

The metal keyboard from google is very nice. The magnetic attachment is VERY strong. There is no way it would ever fall apart when using it to type unless you are really trying to separate it. You could probably drop it on the ground and it would stay together. You can set it at any angle from vertical to flat. Its convenient as you can attach it to the screen like a clamshell or you can attach it to the back of the tablet.
You do need to align the magnetic layout with the top of the keyboard being attached to the bottom of the tablet. It will stick the other way as well but nowhere near as strong. When using it as a clamshell it is small and looks very nice.

I was thinking of picking this one up for when I need to do more typing on my Pixel.

That looked perfect until I realized it wasn't a case and there's no real way to secure the tablet, which scares me since I mostly use it on my lap and not a table.

I actually have the Folio keyboard but the problem is that it lacks "less frequently used" (escape, ` ~ | \ { } etc...) keys and I partially use my tablet to interface with my Linux server over SSH and not having those keys is a real pain in the butt. To remedy that, I purchased a full-sized bluetooth keyboard with a trough that the tablet sits in, but the problem is that it's not easily portable.
I fear my only hope will be to either wait until someone releases a good spec'd Chromebook with a detachable screen, or buy a Microsoft Surface and remove secure boot now that the key has been leaked (by Microsoft! hahahha) and install either Android x86 or full-blown Linux. The latter would be preferable since the Surface 4 can be a little beast but they also cost over a grand which in the grand scheme of things is only about $400-$500 more than the Pixel and you get a massively more powerful system.

Yeah I get that. I SSH quite a bit and need to | to grep or include items and it means I have to keep pressing the '...' button to bring up the software symbols.
At the end of the day its not my main work device so it suits me fine but I can imagine it being annoying if you try and use it for that.
Although a lot of people think my Pok3r keyboard is stupid but I am now just used to Fn'ing' keys and sometimes find myself trying to do it on my tenkeyless at home

We have shortcuts

Only because when I first looked them up they didn't work on a UK Pixel C keyboard. Logged a call with Google support and they were like, ah well.
And trying them now in Google Keep they don't work for me.
So either there is a setting I'm missing or they only work on a US layout etc

Fair enough. I mean, they aren't as great as real keys anyways. They do not function in some apps, specifically RDP. Pulling up the software keyboard is a pain too.
