Found a good pocketable keyboard for the Z - Xperia Z Accessories

Its a regional rebrand of the softtouch s1
Its an nfc keyboard. Its litte bit squishy but far supperior to any other pocketabke keyboard i have tried so far its split in the middle (Nfc to connect with the device) works like a charm, only wish my note had nfc. this post is one of the first things I have written with this but allready i can type faster then the allready fast on-screen keyboard.
it is missing a dedicated numbers row but all the android specific keys work like a charm. One2touch.no is the website of these guys.
as i live in norway i am quite limited when it comes to the selection of keyboards supporting local characters.

Best Thumb Keyboard for XDA II?

Looking for the best tumb keyboard for the XDA II, thanks
as far as i know there is only 1 thumb keyboard which works with the xda2
if that is true then i suppose thats the best one
Incidentally, it's keys are in very awkward places, making it very annoying to use. Could have been a great little device, but ruined by bad design.
it's comatible with both xda1 and 2 right ?
and it needs the beam right so you cant IR while using it ?
I've got the XDA1 version (G3B0), but haven't managed to get it working on my XDA2.

Keyboard Peripherals

Dell Streak is lucky to happily work with bluetooth keyboards (see on Engadget). For the Nexus One, I don't think this will work out of the box. The best solution I found so far is BlueInput.
Can you recommend portable keyboards and keyboard drivers? The Apple keyboard isn't so portable and affordable while BlueInput is sort of expensive.
So you mean to say that the Apple Keyboard actually works with the N1 with the BlueInput driver?
Yep http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=629416&highlight=apple+keyboard
Just to point out that that thread (that I started) is about using an apple keyboard with the "hidd" binary, not "blueinput" which I bought and found unuseable.
I'm currently using a cm6 daily and find the built-in BT-HID support to be fantastic.
...on everything except the apple keyboard (but I already knew that the apple keyboards aren't quite straight HID)
I'm currently using a slightly hacked up one of these:

If I were you I'd just wait for the release of cm6, it looks pretty schweet.

CM6 has Bluetooth HID keyboard support?? Coolness!
What keyboards would you recommend for that?

With the back shaved down as it's a bit thicker then it needs to be.

That's niice! I'll look for one
bump
I am looking to buy a portable keyboard for on-the-go office document editing. This is something that is important to me, and I would rather purchase the correct peripherals then try to find a workaround for my HID keyboard.
What out of the box keyboard will "just work" with the N1? If anyone knows of a specific model that would be great. Or some guidelines. Will the SSD palm type keyboards work out of the box?
Just for those who are interested in BT keyboards but don't follow CM's bugtracker. CM6-RC2 fixes the problem with apple bluetooth keyboards. I now find myself popping it out and using my N1 to edit documents on the train (that I sync using dropbox)
It is _awsome_

You meant, you're using the Apple keyboard, right?
wildmonk's new kernel (in the dev subforum) also has the fix for using Apple bluetooth devices. haven't had the chance to try out a bluetooth keyboard, but thinking it's all the excuse I need to buy one.
I'm looking into purchasing the Logitech DiNovo Mini Bluetooth HTPC keyboard+mouse, in a couple weeks.
Will report into this thread as soon as they arrive with hopefully a demo video to go with it.

Bluetooth Keyboards

Hi all,
Does anyone have access to the test .apk that Blueinput released that might let me use/test this with my samsung Galaxy S?>
It doesnt seem that their live .apk on their site will work with every device.
Or maybe there is a better option somewhere that I am not aware of.
Anyone have any luck using other methods to connect a bluetooth keyboard to their Android handsets?
I am rather disapointed that I have been unable to pair my Nokia SU-8W with my Sammy
I am doing the bulk of my mobile typing with my N95 8Gb (paired with su-8w) now that I have sold my HD2.
This is a nuisance as:
a/. the notes application really sucks and doesnt give me much in the way of layout options
b/. the screen is 320 x 240 and just not as nice to read....
Can anyone advise me?
Thanks
XxJPM froyo has given me full bluetooth mouse and keyboard on my galaxy s . This is good rom people.

Screen density and keyboard

Started finally playing with screen density. definitely love e density around 180 (Although may settle for 160 to avoid too many market issues)
That said as many probably have experienced using the keyboard becomes a pain (Yes I got accustomed to the big keyboard !)
Anybody knows of a keyboard bg enough that would fit nicely once shrunk to 160 / 180 screen density ?
Possibly the keyboard from a higher definition Tab could work I guess...
Anybody has tried? (Or has developed his own?)
have you tried Swiftkey X tablet keyboard or Thumb Keyboard??
I am on 192 dpi right now which is equal to 1280x750p unfortunately for me I need 1280x800p for a perfect fit .. but LCD Resolution Root doesnt support it i will try 180 or less to see how it goes.

Thanks in the end I picked Thumb Keyboard
Its quite good, although I definitely do more mistyping tan with Samsung's keyboard (Maybe just a question of training...)
i'm using SwiftKey and turned on big keys in the setting. before i tried hacker's Keyboard which also was handy and comfortable. as you said it's mainly a question of getting used to it.

Best ever seen, many dict available etc ... : MultiLing Fits nicely to any density/screensize. Have used it on ZTE Blade and on SGT P1000, currently 182 dpi

[Q] hardware QWERTY keyboard

Hi
Does anyone know if there's a new phone (or will be) with a hardware QWERTY keyboard? (Slide)
Not sure about new ones, but if I were you I'd consider a bluetooth one - that way you can get any phone and just connect the keyboard when you need it and not be limited.
The ones out now are kind of second-rate. Check out the search features on sites like GSM Arena to see what's out there.
I originally wanted a phone with physical keyboard, but with SwiftKey I think I actually type faster onscreen.
