MAC keyboard

I'm wanting to get a Bluetooth keyboard and I know the MAC wireless keyboard is Bluetooth. Has anyone use one or is it compatible?

I use my Apple Mighty BT Keyboard and it works perfectly. I'm using CM6 and I know that ROM had an upgraded BT stack. I'm not sure if other ROM's have it enabled.

Same here, the IMAC keyboard and mouse both work with CM6. Mouse is not much use now, but it does work, just don't orient the device horizontally, last I tested, CM6.0 it doesn't alter the mouse directions with the display.

CM6 is the ONLY ROM currently that will allow you to use it. It won't work stock, or with any other custom ROM. There is one other AOSP rom that someone was working on, but it had the same flaws as CM6, i.e. no 4G, HDMI, FM radio etc.
I would go with CM6 if you wanted this.

so me running fresh 3.1.0.2, that keyboard would not work? only CM6? :-/
Ideas on another keyboard? Id want to keep my phone horizontal with the stand and use it to take notes on in class. It would keep things simple than taking a netbook with me to class

Nope no other way. There is an alternative though which requires you to be at a computer but lets you tour from the pc and display on your phone.
Check out AndroidCentral.com its on the front page. It must likely won't help but its a cool read.

so no bluetooth keyboard will work unless Im on CM6?

I've read on other forums that the Freedom Pro Keyboard has drivers that will work with HTC sense.

I thought that was only with the new sense (htc desire series).

Which bluetooth keyboards are compatible with the xoom?

I have an apple bluetooth keyboard which I don't expect to work with my xoom because I know how pissy these companies are about their little proprietary items. But my question is what its the criterion for a bluetooth keyboard that can sync with the xoom? Will any one that isn't apple work ?

i've tried 4 different ones and they all worked fine. my personal favorite is the microsoft bt keyboard, but i know that apple, logitech and a generic chinese one it have all worked. also, i had the moto one briefly and obviously that worked.

From memory (I have one of these keyboards, it's nice when the Xoom's in my stand, I use it to type E-mails far faster):
Wireless->Bluetooth->Find Devices
Hit the side-button on the Apple Keyboard to turn it on 'till the green light comes on. When "Apple Wireless Keyboard" comes up, select that. A 4-digit code will come up, type that on the keyboard then hit "enter". That's it!

that is great. I guess while Iam at it I'll give my bluetooth trackpad a try and see what happens. Awesome

help, Xoom keyboard wrong layout

I am one of the lucky ones to have gotten a free keyboard and mouse for my stock 3g xoom.
All synced no problem but the layout is wrong.
Biggest issue is I can't get an @ symbol at all. The key just gives me " speach marks, also can't get pound sign up either.
Layout is set to uk under all keyboard settings. Tried changing from standard, swiftkey and thumb board with no joy, voice is also set to uk.
Only thing is by keyboard came branded as atrix not xoom.
Really love the board but getting so pi55ed with not having @, I can't use it.

You still get this issue on a stock uk 3g1
Bloody moto.
I had this issue on my wifi but that's understandable as I am running 3.2 via TIAMAT 2.01
Any way, I have fixed my own keyboard and posted the files, you sound like you need to test this out

but you would need to be rooted

Thanks for the reply, so helpful of Motorola

[Q]-A working BT keyboard

Dear god and baby jesus in heaven. Save me from spending more money and resources on a working BT keyboard for my Tbolt lol. So far I've tried both a HYPE mini BT keyboard and the Freedom Pro. Both result in the same outcome.
The HYPE was the first one I snagged. It works on my itouch, main PC with a BT adaptor, laptop with BT built in and my HP touchpad running CM9 (ICS). The touchpad was running GB at the time of the first pairing and it worked there too. After doing some research and seeing most BT keyboards don't play so well with the tbolt, I saw a few people say the Freedom Pro does. So I snagged one of them. It has the exact same issue. It pairs properly but then never connects once paired. Basically the phone acts like a cat. You push the KB entry in the BT list and it acts like you didn't touch it. Clicking other BT items in the list do attempt to initiate the connection.
Are there ANY BT keyboards people here have working? I found a thread linking to the EVO forums where somebody got a Dell BT keyboard to work but that's a bit too big for what I want. I just want a BT keyboard to work with my phone so I'm not always undocking it to reply to a text. The drivers for the HYPE install but never register with the net either over wifi or 4G. The Freedom Pro ones install but don't seem to change the issue. Is it a ROM thing or a phone thing? I'm shocked the Freedom Pro didn't work as people have said this one has worked. My phone is Android 2.34 under the current ROM and a BT of 2.1+EDR

Are you looking for a full-size keyboard? I personally have the Logitech MediaBoard Pro for the PS3 (routinely on sale lately for $30) and it works really well. I've also been using AOKP roms, I'm not sure if that makes a difference.

I'm hoping NOT to go full size if I can help it. I'd rather something not much bigger than the freedom pro. I saw a link to a desktop replacement using an EVO that somebody used a Dell BT keyboard (with the EVO at least). This is the kind of setup I'd rather avoid. Can you post your BT stack info? I'd like to compare it to mine. I'm using Bootmanager and have a Thunderstick ROM going and ODJDub.

Whatever you do, avoid the Motorola Xoom keyboard... HTC phones reject it every time...

Hi Moss. If you want a working BT keyboard, get Thundershed. This rom works with BT keyboards.

I think any non sense rom would work great. for example my ps3 controller works great on thundershed, liquid etc, but any bamf sense roms doesn't work at all

I am beginning to see proof of this with sense related roms on devices other than just our t-bolts. I asked the t-shed creator if he could release his bluetooth stack in something that is flashable but he seems pretty busy.

[Q] Best Keyboard App ?

Using the OUYA's default keyboard with the touchpad is an aweful pain. I was wondering if there is a keyboard out there that plays well with the controller (D-Pad especially). I was able to install Google's Keyboard but it is not really better than the default one. Anyone found an alternative ?

Blue Board

Ditto for blueboard.

is that the only one that works well for it or possibly the only one that works at current? swift keyboard?

Blue Board is an app that you put on your OUYA, and on your phone or tablet. Once you parent connect them, whatever you type on your phone or tablet pops up on your OUYA.
Blasted from my Samsung Galaxy SIII (CM10.1 Masta Mix).

Thanks !
Thanks for blueboard. Anyone has another option that does not require to switch to a tablet or phone ?

You'll never find a good option while using the controller, your best bet is to use a phone like otheres have said, or bt keyboard I suppose.
I have a couple questions reguarding this though. Does blueboard also have touch pad function? I used droidmote on my mk802 and it was great, it had keyboard, mouse, directional, media controls, even a touch gamepad mode. Has anyone tried this on ouya yet?
