I tried to pair the touchpad with my Apple Bluetooth keyboard and it could not find any Bluetooth keyboards. Does is work with any non-HP keyboards? Should I be worried my bluetooth radio is broken (needing warranty)? Do I need to buy the HP keyboard?
Thanks
I updated to the latest web os 3.0.2 and still have this issue. Any ideas?

I tried as well - no luck.
It sees my Apple BT keyboard.
Asks for Passkey. I don't think I have one - did you get that far?
nm, i got it to successfully pair. Basically when it asks for the Passkey you have the enter 8 digits...
and then it'll spin - then you enter that on the keyboard and press Enter and for me it worked.
With the Apple compact aluminum BT keyboard. it's kind of delayed so maybe I need to charge my batteries on the kb.
it's definitely working though.

Success with Logitech MX5000
Last night I successfully paired my 32GB Touchpad with a 6 year old Logitech MX5000 keyboard. It was nice to have a full sized keyboard when I had alot of typing to do.
i'm interested in this due to the release of that upcomming thinkpad keyboard that will go with the thinkpad tablet. Was planning on buying one but seeing as I now have a tablet which works perfectly fine for what I will be doing (writing scouting reports) I may just see about the keyboard.
I was trying to get my wii mote to pair but it would not. From what I understand, the bluetooth stack in the touchpad is extremely limited.
I got it to work with the Verbatim folding portable BT keyboard.
If anyone is looking for a mini bluetooth keyboard that works I can confirm that this one works great http://www.dealextreme.com/p/mini-bluetooth-keyboard-for-android-wince-nokia-symbian-s60-cellphones-black-37863 And its only $18.70, the placement of a few of the symbols like the arrow keys take a while to get use to, but it works great and you can thumb type quite easily on it.
Edit: I found what looks like the same one on ebay for $11.88, not sure if you can post links to ebay here so just search "Ultra Slim Mini Bluetooth Keyboard For PC PS3 PDA" and you will find it.
I just got my Touchpad to pair with my old, folding Dell Axim keyboard. Works pretty well too.
The trick was a 4 digit code entered on both the Touchpad and the keyboard.

Ι also have a logitech wave pro keyboard.Which code did you enter?
Does anyone know if a bluetooth case keyboard like thishttp://www.ebay.com/itm/Brand-New-Ipad-Leather-Case-And-Bluetooth-Keyboard-/300570582168?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item45fb671c98#ht_4233wt_1139 will work? Or if anything can anyone provide feedback of a keyboard/case similar to this which worked on their touchpad? Thanks

Which is??...i mean touchpads 4 digit BT code...
I scooped up an Adesso BT keyboard/case intended for an IPad at Compusa the other day, and was able to successfully pair. I've posted my method in another thread but will post it again in here because I first came in here seeking the way and didn't find it .
www adesso com - under ipad2 keyboards
The Bluetooth Keyboard. - In order to pair with this thing, you must
- turn on bluetooth on Keyb and touchpad
- search for keyboards in bluetooth prefs
- put in a key on the touchpad screen
I used `12345678"
- then type the same on the keyboard (NOTE* You will not see any prompts on the screen, just type "12345678" and press enter. ) This was how I got it to sync and have been able to repeat it . SYNC
I was able to pair mine with a Motorola Bluetooth Keyboard (came with my old Atrix), it asked for a 4 digit passkey, I entered 0000 and it let me thorough.
none of the function keys work but all the generic keys do so will do for now.
I had no problem pairing with my Zaggmate and the bonus is that the iPad is the same size so I can dock it for typing and put them together for transport
I paired my Apple Bluetooth keyboard with the Touchpad and it works great. I wish the volume keys and all that stuff would work too, but I guess just being able to type fast is good enough. So here were the steps I took to pair it
1. While keyboard is off, hold power button until it goes into pairing mode (the light starts blinking a bit).
2. On Touchpad, search for wireless keyboards and select "Apple Wireless Keyboard".
3. On Touchpad type in any password you want (I used a 4 number pin).
4. Right after you click OK on the Touchpad, type the same password in on the keyboard and click the enter key after. After this, the keyboard should be paired DDDD
I just bough a Bluetooth keyboard for iPad, its a folding leather protective case. It works great. To get it to pair just enter 12345678 on the password and hit enter. If that doesn't work also hit 12345678 on the keyboard and enter. Its just a bummer that the arrow keys do not allow you to scroll down web pages, but great for taking notes or composing emails!
like the title says,
the handset wouldn't let me enter a manual pin like "0000" etc.
it automatically generates a pin and asks me to enter on the zeemote! what the #&%!?
(see the photos)
i tried Bluez IME but it tries to pair using the phone's default pairing method which is the problem in the first place.
i contacted HTC support and they apologized saying there's nothing they can do about it. what the #&%!?
please point me at a solution to force manual pin or a hack.
i've seen guys pair with this same controller from the default bluetooth settings on other phones (YouTube).
so frustrating
unfortunately, this is an issue with the HTC bluetooth stack for the sensation and evo3d.
the only game pad that works perfectly with it so far is the BGP100
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/msi-bgp100-bluetooth-gamepad-1-aaa-battery-included-13760
trust, ive tried almost every controller you can think of (including console controllers), with every possible bypass method for android, and the only one that works easily and perfectly is the BGP100...
the only downside is finding one
EDIT* the only one i havent tried, but think it will work is the iControlPad: http://icontrolpad.com/
$*1T! i already bought the zeemote!
looks like you've done your research; saved me a lot of time XD
hopefully, someone uploads a fix soon. please remember me if u find one!

Have you tried mobilegear.com's driver?
http://mymobilegear.com/GameProAn.php
I think you can try it out and see if it works and if it does it'll cost you 10 bux.
I bought the drivers for the i-tech bt virtual keyboard because no other bt drivers would work. Now it works perfect for 10 bux!

I tried the trial. It still tries to pair using the phone's default method so it's the same as bluez IME.
It's not a driver issue I think. It's an issue trying to connect the device in the first place.
the best fix is if HTC creates a new BT stack with a new kernel release, or if a keen dev takes a stab at it...at first it though it was a BT3.0 issue, but ive had keyboard and mice and headsets that were 1.0/2.0/2.1 that connected right away thru android...
there could be an app made that overrides the bt stack, such as the one kpjimmy posted, but most trials arent as effective as the paid versions...
you have a couple options, but none of them are free atm
As the subject states, I successfully connected my BT mouse and keyboard to the GT 7+. However, I noticed that the mouse movement stutters heavily and keyboard press lag. For example:
1). WITHOUT running any applications (I use Samsung RAM Manager to kill everything), I move the mouse from STOP and there was about 0.5 - 1 seconds before the GT7+ register the movement and move the mouse. When I stop moving the mouse and then move it again, the same thing happened.
2). When I type in, say browser (Dolphin, built-in, doesn't matter), there was the same delay before what I type show up on the screen.
I never have this problem with the ASUS TF. Is this GT7+ issue?
Those who uses BT mouse and keyboard, can you confirm?
Are you experiencing this problem still? What model kb & mouse? I'm thinking about buying a BT kb & mouse/touchpad to use with my Tab Plus.

I sometimes use a Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000 with my GT-P6210.
I sometimes notice some delay in the characters appearing on screen. The lag seems to happen less when I don't use the "Samsung keypad" (instead opting for the "Hacker's keyboard" app), but there are still occasional delays.
That said, this keyboard is certainly usable for me.
I haven't tried a mouse.

Yes it does. I use Amazon Basic Bluetooth Keyboard (search it in Amazon) and Logitech Bluetooth mouse (m555b model).
i am experiencing the same issues, using my FelTouch Magic touchpad as keyboard and mouse. especially the mouse issue is really annoying. ...
I can confirm this. There's a very similar thread in the 7.7 Accessories forum as well.
I've seen this issue arise when using any "input" type bluetooth device. I have both an iControlPad and a keyboard. When playing games, if I don't press a button for a few seconds, and then press one, the response is a bit delayed (more so than normal, and noticeable) - this is the issue reported in the OP. After that, pressing buttons works normally (at least until another sufficiently long pause).
However, I've also noticed that a key or button being held down, if held down for too long (I think 3+ seconds), will cause the tablet to repeat that letter (or action) multiple times for a second or two. If the same key is held down for just a few seconds (only 1 or 2), the letter or action will stop repeating immediately after I've let go of the key.
I've reported this issue to Samsung, but no response yet. This issue does not exist on my Motorola Razr Maxx (on the contrary - I'm actually amazed by the response time when using the iControlPad).
I want to mention that I was having buggy/delay issues when using a bluetooth barcode scanner in HID mode with the GT-P6210. Switching to SPP mode avoided all the delays/bugs. Perhaps you could try a mouse or keyboard which supports SPP connections.
Alright, quick update. I originally emailed their support about this issue, and they responded that I should call their support department, which I just did. It's a quick, direct line to someone who seems to know what they're talking about, which was a nice surprise!
Anyway, I reported the issues in this thread, and she seemed to understand what I was saying, and that she'd hand that on to people who could reproduce the issue. Hopefully this makes it into the next update! I did make a point to ask about ICS, but she couldn't tell me any details
Also: k_t_b, the iControlPad does have an SPP mode (in addition to a HID mode), and both modes result in the same noticeable delay. I'm not sure if that's just an issue with the device, or what. I've heard of people using Wii remotes and PS3 controllers to connect, and I wonder if they've run into these same issues...
After flashing the new ICS leak for GT-P6210 (UK), it seems that the bluetooth stutter issue has been FIXED! Keyboard and iControlPad now work flawlessly! Will update if I run i to any issues.

Xbox 360 Wireless controller: works with the official wireless PC adapter. I've tested 4 controllers. Button mappings aren't the same as Bluetooth HID. R/L bumpers act as the R/L triggers. R/L triggers act as the X/Y axis of the right analog stick (mouse simulation). Other discrepancies.
Nexus Player Gamepad - Not perfect either. Uses standard Bluetooh HID mappings, but lacks a proper start/select button. Does not work properly with Soul Calibur.

Nyko Playpad Pro works perfectly, got 2 of them for $12 at gamestop:
http://www.gamestop.com/android/accessories/nyko-play-pad-pro-tablet-controller/104098
Another Controller...
Two things to add to the list of things that work....
* The Gamestop Red Samurai. It is listed on their site as "Tablet Wireless Game Controller V2", here: http://www.gamestop.com/android/accessories/tablet-wireless-game-controller-v2/104425 I like it because it is $12 and has a rechargeable battery. I have a pair of these. I have only had issues in one game, but I have not tried too many of the games with this controller. Warning, when I went into the store, the two employees there had no idea what I was talking about, I brought up the web page, showed them the product and that they had it. I have been to two game stops that had it, and it is always in the back room, very odd...
For Remote:
* Logitech Harmony Smart Control. This is the fairly current one, it has a little black WiFi enabled emitter and a simple remote. I was able to get it to talk with my Nexus Player and I can do everything that I can do on the regular remote. Works great.

I believe the high-end Harmony (ultimate?) can also connect via bluetooth and registers as a bluetooth keyboard, which is pretty sweet.

I had to clear it's state. Power it on. Then press and hold the select button for 3 seconds. Then after that click the NES30 option on the nexus player to pair the device. It should work after that.
Ok I tried that last night and it would pair but then unpair a minute or 2 later. It would work and then I could load up a rom. However, 1 minute into the game it would unpair. It is a brand new controller.

OUYA Controller
went out and bought an ouya controller based on this thread
the description of it working with some games as exceptions is a bit misleading
its very flaky, disconnects frequently, sends incorrect button presses randomly, and just stops sending commands out of no where. as an example the trigger is used for gas in a car game, every 5-10 seconds you need to release and pull again or the car stopps as the trigger acts like its not connected.
now before you blame the ouya controller or the batteries
i have connected it to my nexus 72013, my nexus 5, my nexus 7 and my nexus 4
it works perfectly on all of them
and the nexus 5 and nexus 7 2013 are on lolipop 5.0
so the issue is with the nexus player rom
my nexus player itsself is not defective
all other bt devices (remote, keyboard, mouse) work fine without disconnect
to anyone thinking of buying an ouya controller based on this thread
dont waste your money
just wait for the asus controller to arrive
(too bad they dont sell them in stores, i hate online orders always 2-3 weeks to arrive)
Also the "measy rc11 air mouse" works very well (I have one that I used on a mini PC mk808)
I just recently bought a used Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 SM-P905V about 2months ago. Everything is fine but until now where I tried connecting a new Logitech bluetooth keyboard and a bluetooth Microsoft mouse.
Mouse Problem:
There seems to be a lag with the mouse pointer where it would freeze for half a second then it would go very fast. This happens constantly. Tried it on my laptop and the mouse works perfectly there.
Keyboard Problem:
After typing 3 words on the Note Pro, it would repeat a letter, or an input I push many times. For example, "My name is Chhhhhhhhhhhhhharlie". I tried using this keyboard on my Samsung S5 phone and my laptop and it works perfectly on those devices. I bought this tablet for school work like writing notes and typing papers so this is a disappointment.
So the problem seems to be my bluetooth on my SM-P905V, what can I do to fix the problem?
Bluetooth is integrated circuit on this model and it's used, failed bluetooth or wifi is nothing to be surprised.
Try to clear data and cache in Recovery Mode or Factory Reset.
Your mouse and keyboard are working fine with other devices so the problem is from BT connection. It's impossible to fix as many components are involved and mainboard has to be replaced.
I have one Note Pro with not working BT, it doesn't bother me as I rarely use BT for anything.

I have the same issue intermittently, and unfortunately its well documented that many others have had this issue as well.
It only seems to be an issue when you have both a keyboard and mouse connected.
its like they interfere with eachother a bit intermittently.
if you use one or the other they work fine in my experience, even using one wired and one wireless fixes the issue.
I switched to using a wired keyboard and mouse but I've also found just using the keyboard (wired or wireless) works well too as the touchscreen works pretty well for mouse input even for teamviewer, though I understand your frustration with not being able to use both easily.
