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

My question: When I use the Bluetooth keyboard I still get the onscreen keyboard popping up, is there a way to prevent this from happening?
Loving the GS3 so far, was able to connect natively a white Microsoft Bluetooth mouse and a compact bluetooth keyboard and both work pretty decent, although keys on keyboard are mapped to work with an ipad, looking for a better keyboard, but just used the one I had to test with.
I'm testing a complete "geek out" senario here, I manage a few websites for where I work, and I have the cisco VPN app and I'm able to connect to my work network, and both rdp and vnc into my pc and imac, it's cool esp if something needs to be updated in a pinch.
My only gripe is that the software keyboard takes up the whole MF'n screen in landscape view, I'd like to prevent that if possible when using a hardware keyboard.
On my epic 4G, the slide out keyboard disabled the onscreen from popping up, can I do something similar?
I have tried several keyboards with the same issue as follows.
I can't consistently pull the keyboard out of my bag, turn it on, and start typing. Is there a solution? I am currently using a ZaggFlex keyboard and have it switched to Android on the back. I do have it paired. I have tried the "bluetooth keyboard easyconnect" app. But I just can't seem to get any combo to work consistently.
Anybody having consistent success with bluetooth keyboards and your Galaxy Note?
I use the Logitech BT keyboard for android, it connects every time without fail.
Thanks for the reply. I may look at that one if JB doesn't help.
Yesterday I purchased a bluetooth mouse and a bluetooth keyboard to use on my new galaxy s4. When I connected both, I can move the mouse and use the keyboard but the keys get "stuck" and will keep sending the same letter. The mouse will intermittently stick and not update its location for a bit and then snap way out.
If I recall correctly it says that that the keyboard keeps reconnecting when it start repeating the key it is stuck on.
If I turn off one or the other device, neither the mouse or keyboard has any issues both function smoothly. Is this normal? Is there something I can do to fix this?
The phone's model number is SGH-M919. Its on android 4.2.2.
Kernel version 3.4.0-453951
Build number JDQ39.M919UVUAMDL
The keyboard is a Logitech Tablet Keyboard, I can't find any other way to describe it.
The mouse is an HP Bluetooth Mouse X4000b.
Thank you for any assistance!
I have been using a logitech bluetooth keyboard 441xa yr0021 for quite a while now with my sgs3. It works great. However, since the upgrade to 4.1.2 stock rooted, when I connect to the keyboard my sgs3 says: "To use bluetooth keyboard change input to samsung qwerty." I click OK or click the x, either one, and the sgs3 is now set to the samsung keyboard when I disconnect from the bluetooth keyboard. I tried freezing samsung keyboard and after disconnect from the bluetooth keyboard, no keyboard response on my sgs3 at all until I restored the samsung keyboard. Not a critical problem, but interesting, at least to me. Samsun keyboard doesn't have the layout that Smart Keyboard (my usual default) does, and that's why I dislike the switch back.
I note that if I switch back to Smart Keyboard while still connected to the bluetooth keyboard, the bk still works. Disconnect and it's still Smart Keyboard.
