I am planning to buy bluetooth keyboard and mouse for use with Note. My first instinct was to buy Apple keyboard but browsing around, realized Android specific buttons are going to be very useful and settled with this nice keyboard Logitech Bluetooth Keyboard (click here). Unfortunately this keyboard is for Android version 3.0+. I saw this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1422901 where he was able to pair this keyboard on his S2 by flashing different kernel/ROM. Well I don't want to flash around different ROMs in my Note just as yet to get keyboard working. And I don't want to wait until ICS is released.
Anyone paired this keyboard with Note?

Hi there! I've been wondering what kind of bluetooth controllers are compatible with a stock Galaxy Nexus and Riptide GT?
Does the sixaxis work? It works for emulators. But havent tested it on nexus yet because i dont have mine yet.
Sent from my samsung gt i9250 which is in the wrong country.
I've heard that you need to have a modded kernel to use the sixaxis controller,but I don't know, that's why I ask
Sixaxis works great plugged in to the USB/OTG as it works as a generic controller (once you've got around the fact that google forgot to enable HID in the default kernel..). Riptide is almost a different game played that way.
Bluetooth in the sixaxis isn't standard so doesn't work out of the box, alas. There are apps to make it work but all the ones I've seen are IME applications, which aren't really designed for ICS (IME can only simulate keyboard events, not joystick events, so they're cheating, and you don't get the advantage of analogue controls that way).
The only bluetooth controller I've got working (FSVO working) is the iControlPad, but that's currently got a totally screwed up button mapping due to a bug in the iControlPad firmware. That may get fixed soon, though.
I'm sure in a few months there will be loads of compatible controllers on the market..
I know Zeemote is one thats getting bigger, I know several games are building in compatibilty for the J1

They shouldn't need to - bluetooth joysticks are standard and supported by default in ICS. Everything designed for Honeycomb/ICS will just work and no need for 'xxx controller compatible' mode hacks that earlier OSs needed.
If the zeemote is a reasonably standard bluetooth controller everything should work without extra software - but I haven't tried it and their website isn't forthcoming on it...
Edit: Google triumphs again - Zeeomote is *not* a standard bluetooth controller. Pity. I'd have taken a punt for 10 quid.
Hello, does anyone know of a portable bluetooth keyboard for the 10.1 that has a touchpad on it. Right now I am using my PS3 bluetooth keyboard with touchpad and it is amazing. There is a cursor that moves and clicks and it makes it so easy then reaching and touching the screen accurately. I would love a keyboard that has a slot that will also hold the tablet up and in place. Thanks. As much as I love using my PS3 keyboard it is NOT portable LOL. Thanks for all suggestions.

Hi, i did a simple search on ebay and found this one: http://goo.gl/ZsbSw
Don't know if it is a good option, but i couldn't find another.
nice, i wonder if its any good...
Hi,
I'm going to buy a Bluetooth keyboard for my Note to play some games in the TV :cyclops:. But I have a problem: I have to buy a keyboard IN my country. I only could find this two keyboards (the text is in Spanish, but the image is the most important):
http://articulo.mercadolibre.com.ar/MLA-426622873-rii-mini-bluetooth-pc-ps3-nokia-iphone-ipad-android-wm-_JM
http://articulo.mercadolibre.com.ar/MLA-149748415-teclado-genius-luxepad-9000-white-blanco-bluetooth-_JM
So, the Luxepad is REALLY cheaper than the Rii one. But the Genius page says that is made for android tablets (I belive 3.0+). And for play games, I can assign keys of a keyboard to the games in the emulators I have. So I don't know what keyboard I should buy.. if the Rii, that has some videos in YT, and it WILL work woth the note altough is very expensive or the Luxepad 9000, which I'm not sure it will work, but it´s the cheapest?
I need to be sure that the keys of the keyboard and the arrow keys (fundamental for games) will work good. CAN YOU HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!
I have the Rii mini.
It's a great little unit, but the keys might be a bit small to play games.
I intended to use it for document editing on my Note, but it's too slow to type on. I can type quicker using Swype.
I now mainly use it with my laptop instead of my Targus Presenter.
It has better mouse control than the Targus Presenter (but not good enough for gaming).
Also being a full keyboard I can alt-tab between windows and add short comments to pdf files whilst standing which is cool.
It only has function keys up to F8, which allows me to do some things, but I still need to use my laptop keyboard when I need to hit F9 or F10 in the pdf program I use when teaching.
The other keyboard looks like it has larger keys which meet be better for gaming.

Do you think the other keyboard will work on the Note?
If it's a standard BT keyboard it should.
I've connected an Apple, Logitech and a couple of no name cheap Chinese BT keyboards to my Note with no problems when I was trying them out in the shops.
Some apps might not support all keys like the ctrl or alt keys, but that will be the same with all keyboards as it's app dependent

Lenovo DiNovo >> Lenovo N5902 ~ Lenovo N5901 > the rest

My cousin uses a Rii mini and his favorite aspect is that it is handheld so that you do not have to have a surface to put it on in order to use it. I personally feel that if I will be using it to type, I want to set it on a flat surface, and therefore I have two such keyboards for different scenarios (rapoo for portability and logitech for extended typing).
For gaming handheld seems the better choice to me, unless you are also planning to use a mouse or do a lot of typing in your gaming.
Maybe the Logitech Dinovo Mini is the right compromise between compact total size and not too small buttons for gaming. In any case Logitech usually makes very good quality keyboards (responsive, endurance) and is available in a large part of the world.

I think there's one essential problem with the Lenovo: it doesn't connect with Bluetooth, only with its own dongle.

Sorry I did mean the "Logitech" DiNovo Mini, not the "Lenovo" DiNovo mini.
With the Lenovo N590x you do need the dongle, you can't use it with direct Bluetooth.
I hope for a future version where they do this with an internal battery, give it two trigger buttons underneath for the L + R mouse clicks. They should also bring back the Trackball (extra tactile > trackpad). And alter the shape a little to make the keyboard more comfy.
Can anyone recommend me a BT mouse and keyboard that arent too expensive
I would prefer a keyboard that's attached to the case like this one.

Is anyone has experience with Motorola Keyboard and Mouse (for Atrix) with Nexus 7 2013?
All I saw on the web is problems with pairing the mouse or keyboard lags when Wi-Fi is on, but the posts are from 2013 and probably it was with old android version - mine is running 4.4.4 now.
I can't try it before buying.
Can anyone recommend about this set? or another cheap android Bluetooth Keyboard(with mouse is better!) for the Nexus 7 2013?
Thanks!
