Bluetooth Keyboard & Mouse

Would anyone mind giving some suggestions on a nice affordable Bluetooth Keyboard & Mouse set? I'm looking for a set for my laptop, PS3, & possibly an Android Tab or iPad. I would appreciate hearing your reviews from your personal experience.

I think you should try logitech.. The products are pretty reliable. I haven't used any of wireless devices from them yet, but from what I've used I was happy with it.

I purchased a travel set from Brookstone and love it. Small mouse, ten key pad, a few odds and ends, and a roll up blue tooth keyboard.

Gamepad case

When is someone going to make a gamepad case that turns my galaxy S3 into a PSP-like emulator boss?
Kinda like this:
http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2010/07/gpad-another-iphone-gamepad-case/
But I was think of something that just snapped in the front and had analog numbs and a D-Pad.
It would be totally rad and would sell millions.

Not sure if you noticed but this is an option even though it seems to not be exactly what you're looking for. But a PS3 controller is as close to a PSP for cell phones/

That looks pretty cool but it looks like it puts the phone pretty much on top of the buttons.
I'd like to see one in person. Thanks for the info.

GameKlip looks pretty awesome. But I'm not a hardcore player, and don't have space for DualShock in my pocket. There are already two videos to see it in action!

Its cool but a bit too bulky.

That was just the prototype. The actual product gives plenty room for the buttons.

The iControlpad would probably fit the bill for you.

S Pen work with S3?

Does the Note's S Pen work with the Galaxy S3?

Nope, s-pen is an active digitizer. There isn't the same tech/hardware in the g3 as there is in the note
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

Go on eBay and search Galaxy S3 stylist, and you can get one that works for the S3. The price range is $. 99 to $29.99. They have some almost identical to the Notes S pen, for one just like that you are looking at around $29.99

That same pen is cheaper on eBay though.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

There is nothing for the S3 that will be comparable to the S-pen on the note. The C-pen is decent, but it's not going to be as precise, or responsive as the S-pen.

Is the c pen more accurate than one of those ball tipped sylus pens? I have one of those and it writes very broad lines

The c pen is definitely more accurate than the ball stylus pens due to the slim tip so you can actually see where you are writing. The only problem with the c pen is that it will occasionally not register as touching the screen.
I bought one because I take a lot of notes using S memo and I had an extra $20 bucks laying around lol. So if you can spare the cash I would reccomend it over the ball stylus pens but just know that it will only work for the s 3
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

Either that or i'd just get an Adonit Jot stylus....

I just use one of the ones that have a rubber ball at the end.

C-pen didn't work out for me, because it's design a little bit fat. I guess, that's the only way to have stylus is to buy Galaxy Note Series . And also they have wacom grid, which can sense pressure.

good info

C pen is so expensive. How little are you really gonna be clicking? S3 doesn't have the special touch screen built in like the note so the pen gets bigger or smaller from how hard you press anyway. Any cheap stylus will work great. I got a laser, flashlight, chrome pen, and stylus in one for like 6 bucks at Monoprice. Works better than I dreamed.

lol oh man almost a year later, but here it is http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=112&cp_id=11201&cs_id=1120105&p_id=9719&seq=1&format=2
At least now I can give a mini review. It works great as a pen and I use it whenever I have to sign something. Stylus tip still works fine and always has no problem with responsiveness. Only thing that sucks is the flashlight and laser died fast. It's all chrome and black so it still looks nice, but I have no idea how to put a new battery in. I even called and asked them, but how they said to do it was still impossible.

Swiftkey Tablet Keyboard

They have their tablet version on sale for $2 ( normally $4)
I personally use it and love it, and the tablet version works great on our GNote2. The new flow feature, like swype, is great to use with the stylus, using it to type this out right now.
Just giving everyone a heads up.

Awesome. Thanks for sharing. I liked the SwiftKey3 but didnt like how it didnt have swipe features.

Thanks! Just bought SwiftKey.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium

I must have bought swiftkey years ago now for 99 cents when it was on sale one time. I've been using it ever since. By far the best keyboard imo.

i got SwiftKey when Google was offering a bunch of apps everyday for 10 cents... best purchase ever lol....
they now have swipe in the new update... def the best keyboard out there IMO...

What's the advantage of the tablet version compared to the mobile one? Is the tablet one suits our Note2 better?

I believe it has the split keyboard, where it makes it a litter easier to hit the keys in the middle of the keyboard. Other than that it should more or less the same

Keep us to date on any updates. Most of us want this.

Does the aluminum body have any effect on WiFi connection? I know the aluminum phone cases kill radio reception, but not sure about WiFi.

For those that have used this keyboard with the N7 (2012), how is the quality?
My wife has an ipad mini with the logitech keyboard ( http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/ultrathin-keyboard-mini), and the quality of the keyboard is fantastic, as is the bottom of the keyboard which acts as a clam shell case with the ipad.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

That's pretty nice - haven't gotten one before but am thinking about it. Thank you for the share.

cool i'm gonna buy one for school definitely not bringing my new 3kg laptop

I like the idea of a portable keyboard but I don't think I could get used to typing on one the same size as the Nexus. If SwiftKey wasn't so good at predicting and making typing faster I would probably try one out though.

Have one of these for my 1st gen N7 and love it, great protection and nice for emergency typing/office work. Will definitely be getting another one when I get my N7 fhd!

I would MUCH prefer something like this, I wish a manufacturer would get on this, as it would be much easier for my work purposes to have a folio style keyboard/case. It's looking grim though, as the 1st gen. Nexus 7 still doesn't have something like this. Apple gets all of the nice accessories

This looks cool, but in the product description, it says that there's no tab key. In the photos, there's a tab key but no escape key. These keys are both important for console work. Which is actually missing?

I will email them again. Reviews on the old one said it had a tab key...

Thank you for contacting us. At this time, we have not received any specific details of the keyboard, however, we did request for the manufacturer to develop a Tab button. If you have any other questions or concerns, please let us know. Thank you.

I really hope a major manufacturer getson making a quality bluetooth keyboard similar to the logitech. Hopefully the 2013 N7 sales justify the manufacturer investment.

I have a keyboard that looks exactly like that one for my Nexus 7 2012, and it has the TAB key but no ESC key. I use an App from the Play Store called "External Keyboard Helper" that suppresses the internal pop-up keyboard when the BlueTooth keyboard is connected and also allows remapping the keyboard, so that the ESC key can fairly easily be added.

Very helpful Dave. Thanks.

Just arrived today. Bluetooth connection works with no issues.
The top is all plastic with aluminum "color" trim with the bottom being a rubber type material.
Similar in style (clam case?) to the Logitech/Belkin keyboards for the ipad mini but certainly NOT the same quality of material...although it is less than 1/2 the price.
I like the rubber backing, it is lightweight and feels good when closed.
The keyboard layout is different than minisuit's alternative keyboard case (book style) and appears not as wide,
the Nexus 7 can't stand in portrait mode,
edging around the keyboard interferes with my typing,
awkward to open due to the clasp style,
no dedicated "search" or "app" button,
there is a tab key and a home key.
Personally, I found it very difficult to type accurately and I'm experienced in using similar type keyboards for the ipad mini (same width as the N7).
http://www.minisuit.com/p-2016-bluetooth-keyboard-stand-case-for-google-nexus-7-fhd-2013-rubberized-non-slip-grip.aspx
Think I'll be looking for other bluetooth keyboard solutions...maybe minisuit's other keyboard case which I think is a bit wider in key layout.

Would be nice if Google(or whoever made the final call on that) would have allowed Asus to make a keyboard dock for the N7 FHD just like their Transformer line of tablets. The N7 FHD would had to have used the proprietary Asus charge/sync port instead of the standard micro usb port, and also have had the slots for locking the keyboard dock in to place. Those things would probably have raised the price though, so I'm assuming that's why they didn't go that route. Regardless, it would have been cool to have that option for those who want it. Personally I wouldn't use it, so it's no big deal to me. I had the Asus Prime and Asus keyboard dock made for it, but never used it. I didn't even buy the keyboard dock for my Infinity when it came out. That said, I'm happy with my N7 FHD just the way it is.
I'm not sure if Windows has a patent on their magnetic latching keyboard docks (I haven't looked in to that info at all), but it would be awesome if future Android tablets would have that functionality! I know the Asus Infinity successor uses the same latching style for it's keyboard dock as its predecessors, unfortunately, but it would be awesome if all Asus tablets after the New Infinity would use the magnetic latching! That is about the only thing about the newer Windows tablets that I like. Like isn't really correct for that. I love that feature/function, and I'm totally jealous that my Asus Infinity can't do that! Lol
