How would I go about pairing the wireless keyboard for Mac with my Xoom?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
Same way you would pair any device...
Turn on BT on Xoom.
Turn on keyboard.
Scan for devices.
Select keyboard.
Pair.
Connect.
I just got my keyboard last night and will add to the steps above. You will be prompted to type a number in when paring. Type the number on your keyboard and then hit the enter button. It took me a few times before I figured out you needed to hit the enter button.
Keyboard works great! So far I am really happy!!
Pretty much what Mandelbrot says. I got my apple wireless keyboard and logitech mouse working my xoom.
I feel like I'm probably missing something obvious here, but I've got an Apple bluetooth keyboard paired with my A100, it says it's an input device, but it's not actually working as a keyboard. Swiftkey/the stock keyboard still pops up. From the stuff I've seen online, Honeycomb is just supposed to work with bluetooth keyboards once paired, but is there some obvious step I'm just missing in the process? Thanks!
Go to settings, Language and input on the left side, and hit current input method toward the bottom, see if Apple Bluetooth keyboard there.
Can anyone recommend a bluetooth keyboard with touchpad for S3?
I never had something like this...so I am kinda confused which one to get...
I plan to use it together with the MHL adapter to the television set.
Thanks in advance.
Edit:
I never used any keyboard with my Android device...so I do not have any idea...how it suppose to work
If I connect the S3 to TV with the MHL connector and the TV+SGS3 about 3-5 meters away from me.... this means re-touching the screen is not comfortable.
This is the reason why I imagined that I would need the touch pad.
Do I really need the touchpad? (plan mainly for browsing, watching movies, youtube)
Actually every bluetooth keyboard should work. Search Amazon or ebay for "bluetooth keyboard with touchpad". Its important to buy a real bluetooth one and nothing with proprietary standards (like most logitech/advertised as "wireless")
Quick look in ebay: Rii Bluetooth Mini Wireless Keyboard With Touchpad More For PC Cool Fahioned aje 150819865177 for 30€
Thank you the quick reply.
I will take a look at it as soon I am back at home.
And...can this work too?

The S3 should work with any keyboard. Correct me if I'm wrong. You can get a USB adaptor if you want to use USB keyboards also.

I tried it with mouse+keyboard via USB and it works.
Unfortunately, I can not do that while connecting to MHL connector, if I understand it correctly.
I want to use it together with my TV which is connected with the MHL converter, this means the keyboard has to be via Bluetooth.
And, I am sitting about 3-5 meters away (I do not have long enough HDMI cable) from my SGS3 so I need a good bluetooth keyboard with working short cuts like home button, volume, etc. and also a touch pad to replace the mouse thing....I do not want to stand up every few seconds to operate the SGS3 directly on the phone.
Hmmm... the Rii keyboards are too small in my opinion.
Do all keyboards with touchpad really that small?
Any other options?
Thanks in advance

The one you posted looks bigger. There is an expensive one with standard keyboard size, the dinovo edge.
But as said before: basically any bluetooth keyboard will do the trick.
first off, you need a Bluetooth keyboard?? for what case?

Yes, I tried my old bluetooth keyboard and mouse (multiple pairing)...but using separated mouse and bluetooth while sitting on the couch, it is not really comfortable
Dinovo? wait I will check.
This one?

Looks good..for the price I will have to play with it around for several minutes before taking the decision of buying. From the price, it is still OK, but depends on the feel during try-out.
I will check it at stores near home before ordering from Amazon
I hope this is the correct one for me
Thanks
Nice! I saw it on youtube...it has docking for charging, etc.
I think will get the dinovo edge
I work with a microsoft bluetooth mouse 5000 and a chinese bluetooth kehboard.... work fine without problem (siyha kernel installed)
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
I bought finally the Dinovo Edge
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but the Dinovo edge uses a usb receiver so you wont be able to use it in conjuntion with MHL.
dinovo edge also works on standard BT, my bluetooth dongle broke and i'm currently just using another bt dongle on my htpc --> should work
No soft control buttons on SGS3 so be careful what keyboard you get!
Hi,
I've been using the cheapest bluetooth and mouse out there whilst I get the hang of the smartphone pc experience. I have noticed that since it is not a Galaxy Nexus, it is impossible to point the mouse to the home button, or bring up the settings (bottom left button). Back buttun is simple because it is just the Esc button on the keyboard. If your going to be sitting 3-5m away from your SGS3 then this will be a deal breaker I'm sure.
Does anyone know a work around for people who are in this situation (i.e. no shortcut keys to control buttons on SGS3 excluding back)?
Cheers,
Stui
Use "external keyboard helper pro" from the Google play store to assign any hardware key to an android action.
Just search Google play store
Motorola Bluetooth Keyboard + trackpad.
I bought the motorola bluetooth keyboard with trackpad since it has Android shortcuts. I just got it today and tried it for 10 minutes. I found the mouse extremely slow and unaccurate and the keyboard responded a little slow. Im looking for an app maybe so that I can calibrate and adjust the settings.
Also using the original Galaxy MHL/HDMI adapter (the 11 pin version) I got the Image on my TV but the resolution is bigger than the screen so I cant see the whole picture. If anyone knows how to set this up aswell I would appreciate it.
Thank you very much in advance!

Set the tv screen option to full pixel (named like this on my sony) maybe different on yours, to see the full screen.

I also have the Motorola bt kb w/ trackpad. The keyboard is great, but yeah, the mouse movement isnt' the gretest. You can increase the pointer speed inside of Settings -> Language and Input. It makes it more tolerable, but not great. Besides, I've found it a little tedious to use a mouse as most apps are made with just the touchscreen in mind.
Edit: this is the one: http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Wireless-Keyboard-Trackpad-Packaging/dp/B006291K7A Woot has had it for $35 shipped recently

Hi,
I was looking for a good Bluetooth keyboard to play with the Note in my bed, specially to play NES/SNES/N64/etc. games. And I wasn't decided to buy the Rii mini keyboard (it's so tiny to play with). So I decided to look for a NORMAL bluetooth keyboard. I thought about the Luxepad 9000, but I saw the Bluetooth keyboard of the Sony Tablet P/S in a Sony store. I tested it, and it worked! Here in the country I live the keyboard was $76, but I love it. It's easy to type, and it feels good. I can map all the keys of the keyboards with all the emulators. The only keys that don't work are the Android function keys, that are designed for Honeycomb (Home, doesn't works, Back, the only key that works, Recent apps, doesn't works, Menu, acts like I was pressing Search, Search, yes this works!). But I can replace Home pressing Function+left d pad key, and then I have Voice Action and Recent Apps (long-pressing). I can use the Power button too (Function+right d pad key), so I can turn off the phone and lock it, but I can't UNLOCK it.
And It's useful, because it works in all things that has Bluetooth! (except my Palm). It works in Windows, in my iPod (so Windows, Android and iOS). I recommend it: it's a useful thing for the house

Good stuff. I bought the cheap eKit bluetooth keyboard to use with my Vega tablet (see http://www.amazon.co.uk/eKit-Universal-Bluetooth-QWERTY-Keyboard/dp/B0047ZGNH8) and it actually works really well with the G-note too

Greetings,
I just bought the Belkin Yourtype Bluetooth Keyboard and it pairs fine with my tablet but after about 5 seconds of typing it looks like I lose the connection as I no longer see any new text on the tablet while typing. If I keep typing I get a popup that says "Bluetooth keyboard connected" and I can resume typing for a few more characters.
The keyboard works fine on my Nexus 7, so is there a setting on the Sammy that I am missing, or is this an issue of bluetooth incompatibility?
Thanks,
Hackhound

It's a bluetooth bug. Pretty much any BT input device has this disconnect issue.
I was hoping this would be fixed with a software update, but I'm losing faith...

I have noticed this bug on my Note also. However, i feel it has something to do with the keyboard instead of my precious Note. I think it has something to do with the BT power management on the keyboard iteslf. I have tested with my wife's BT keyboard, which she has an Idea-pad with keyboard dock. I synced it with my Note 10.1 (2014 edition) just fine, and it says connected with NO issues, however on my brand new BT keyboard I purchased from Fry's, it has this stupid disconnecting issue.
My vote is with the BT keyboard, not out Notes.
