Keyboard Discussion

Creating this thread as a general discussion area for keyboards on the galaxy note 10.1.
I'll start:
I am looking for a keyboard case that not only is able to lay flat while my tablet is propped up, but also is able to lay flat while my tablet is laying flat as well. This setup would give me the ability to type up documents or post on forums for example, when that is the sole task at hand, with the tablet propped up much like a laptop. On the flip side, it would allow me to take great notes in the classroom setting while both apparatus are flat (I am not keen on making quick sketchs while my tablet is positioned in front of me like an easel).
Is anyone aware of a case/keyboard combo or separate keyboard and case that is capable of this versatility which will work well for the note 10.1?

This one looks to be exactly what I need. However, I've yet to find any indication that this will also fit the Note.

Anything that fits the Tab 10.1 will be WAY too small for the Note unless it's a highly flexible "universal fit" case (e.g. stretches to fit).
I have a ZAGGFolio for the original 10.1 - it's way too small for the Note.

Here is one like that for the note 10.1: http://www.amazon.com/CrazyOnDigita...=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B008L5EVVA
Not released yet but you can order it now

I've been using the Kensington K39383US Universal KeyFolio Pro Case with Removable Keyboard but the only issue with it is that it comes with 2 sets of corners, one big (for big tabs) and one small for smaller tab (like the Note 10.1) But the smaller corner holder does not hat a opneing for the S-Pen, so I had to resort to doing surgery on it and it fits fine, works well and I'm able to take out the S-Pen.
I like it since the keyboard can be detached and in doing so, the Tablet can be position in numerous viewing positions.
There is another one model K39519US that looks like it already has an opening in the corner holder, but I still think it needs to be surgically worked on. lol

I don't have a keyboard / case combo, but I came from the iPad and I have the apple wireless keyboard and It works better than expected. The play, pause, volume buttons all work. There is even a button for apple's mission control on its Mac's and it actually works to bring up the task manager on to note which I thought was pretty cool. No need for me to spend another $50-$70 on a keyboard. I know it's not what the OP reauested but the thread title drew my attention here so I came to read and I wanted to give my feedback on my experience with the apple Bluetooth keyboard.
I edited the post to include a link to the keyboard. You can find it on amazon and best buy as well. I bought mines at best buy.

Thanks for sharing your findings! Could you provide a link to the said keyboard?
I created the thread in hopes of stimulating some keyboard discussion in general as there hasn't been a place to do this yet for this tablet. No intentions of hogging the thread to myself

MX5500
By the way, if anyone is interested to know, the Logitech MX5500 also works brilliantly with the Note. No problems with 2 Blue tooth devices (keyboard and mouse) connected simultaneously.

How's the included keyboard with these cases? I'm pretty critical when it comes to keyboards and would go for a better keyboard while giving up the convenience. Currently happy with Logitech Android bluetooth keyboard with only the minor quirks of browser key not launching browser (can be fixed by renaming chrome apk to browser.apk and having to disable auto capatilization otherwise first auto-capitalized letter will appear twice so you end up with "AA". May just get a small sling with two compartments and a $9 compact Amazon (Arkon) travel stand.

Kensington
You guys convinced me to get the Kensington keyboard! It looks great and having a keyboard all the time is a huge plus for me.
One question: does the stylus fit in the stylus holder of the Kensington case?

These are nice and all but isn't it a pain to take the tablet out when you want to use it as a tablet? I mean I already have a laptop and I can thumb type on this thing hella fast.

Takes me 10 seconds max to remove the note from the case. And just as quick putting it back in the case. The soft rubber corners peel back easily, alowing for quick removal of the tablet.

Review of Anker Ultra-Slim Bluetooth keyboard w/pics!!!

This is a review of Anker Ultra-Slim Wireless Bluetooth 3.0 rechargeable Keyboard: http://www.ianker.com/product/98APIPAD-02BTA
When I received envelope package expecting Anker Ultra-Slim bt keyboard, before even opening it I thought they messed up my order. I was looking at a very small and lightweight package which couldn't possibly hold a keyboard. Was I in for a big surprise when I opened it!!! You can look at any picture or review you find, but not until you hold it in your hand do you realize how small and feather light this keyboard is. I took measurements and confirmed it to be exactly 240 mm x 130 mm with thickness of 6 mm at the back side and 4 mm thickness around area with keys. The weight was exactly 170 grams. Let me first start with a built quality. It's probably better than some full size keyboards! The top has a nice matte rubbery finish. In general this is chiclet style keyboard. Keys are made of a very solid material, no flexing at all. There is a nice springy resistance when you push keys with enough of travel to give you feedback when you are typing. The size of keys is not miniature and actually very comfortable for prolonged typing. The bottom of the keyboard made out of a solid lightweight aluminum piece - pure class! There is no loose or rattling noises, everything feels solid and aluminum base helps to keep it from any warping. In addition, the package included a set of stick-on clear rubber dots to use as stand-offs, and you also get usb-to-micro-usb cable for charging.
Amazingly, unlike a lot of other wireless keyboards, this one comes with 280 mAh lithium battery that supposed to let you work for 140 continuous hours!!! And I believe there is an idle timeout after about 8 min when it goes into power saving sleep mode. The pair up was very fast and easy. You scan for devices, click on keyboard, and get a pop up message with a unique code to enter from your keyboard to pair it up. Once it's done, you are in business!!! One thing I have to mention right away: they should have called it a multimedia control keyboard, not just BT keyboard. Beside traditional QWERTY layout keys, you are also presented with a lot of dedicated buttons with a built in control and multimedia functionality. First of all you have 4 arrow keys that scroll through all of your icons/shortcuts on the screen. Once you reach end of one screen, it will flip to the next screen. I tried it on my home screens as well as app drawer. Those arrow keys located in the lower right corner, and probably the only gripe I have with this keyboard is that Up-arrow key is to the left of Shift key so it takes a little getting used to when you are typing to move your finger one key over whenever you need to use right Shift key. Looking at the top row of the keys, where typically you have function keys on a regular keyboard, you have a selection of a lot of very useful short-cut keys. You have a "home" key which always brings you to the home screen of your phone/tablet no matter where you are. It worked great with my Nova Prime launcher where it would bring both home screen and the scrolling dock to a default view. You also get brightness control for manual adjustment, and you get a volume control and a mute button. Media controls for Play/Pause and FW/REV work great with music and videos. And also there is a lock-screen button. I tested it with both my Note 2 and Nexus 7. As a matter of fact, this is one of those universal accessories that will work with any BT enabled device.
Overall, I highly recommend this keyboard for anybody who does a lot of typing on their phone/tablet. The usability and durability of this keyboard is fantastic. Additional controls and multimedia buttons are just an extra bonus! The only negative, if you can even call it a negative, I can think of would be a lack of some kind of a traveling case since you don't want to through this keyboard as is in your bag; and also up-arrow vs right Shift key which going to give you right pinky some extra stretch exercise Don't forget that you also get 18-months full coverage warranty, something I always say a company can do only when they truly believe in their product quality.
So, here are some pictures:

Might come with something like the Microsoft Wedge does.
Can you pair this device to multiple devices and switch between them like on the K810 by logitech? Considering getting this...

Review of Mini Wireless 80-key keyboard with air/fly mouse w/pics!!!

This is a review of 2.4GHz Mini Wireless 80-key Keyboard with air&fly mouse and receiver: http://dx.com/p/2-4ghz-mini-wireles...ly-mouse-w-receiver-combo-black-silver-177390
Wireless keyboards come in different shapes, sizes, and bonus controls keys. The one I have reviewed in the past were all bluetooth and mostly with a keyboard only functionality which is great when you have to do a lot of typing and and prefer it with physical keys. As long as you are close to your phone you can still use touch screen functionality and typing from physical keyboard, while also enjoying a benefit of multimedia keys. There was one mini keyboard which featured a mini touchpad to navigate mouse pointer. That was great except not too comfortable to hold a mini candy-bar keyboard with touchpad to the right in a way of thumb typing. The solution? Mini Wireless keyboard with Air/Fly Mouse!!!
I was a bit skeptical at first because this is 2.4GHz wireless keyboard/mouse that doesn't require bluetooth connection and just comes with wireless receiver dongle. To my very pleasant surprise - it worked from the second you plug in the receiver into your phone. You do need to use OTG cable or adapter, which wasn't included, although it's such a common accessory you can get anywhere for a dollar or two. Using OTG cable puts your phone into Host mode allowing connection of peripheral device such as wireless receiver. As a matter of fact, I had it with a small usb hub so that I can connect usb stick to my phone in addition to the dongle. Setup was very simple plug'n'play. Great for any device that doesn't have bluetooth, and can also be used with Windows laptop, or smart tv, or a tablet without bt.
All you have to do is to flip a power switch on and you are in business!!! The keyboard itself is very small, measuring about 128mm x 57mm x 13mm and weighting about 80g. Even so it's made out of plastic, it felt very sturdy and durable in your hand. Absolutely no flex. It comes with a built in rechargeable battery, pretty decent capacity of 500 mAh. The keys have a very nice rubbery texture, feel good to the touch, and have a great tactile feedback. You get nice clicky sound with push of every key. There are total of 80 keys including separate row of numbers with shift-characters, and another row of 12 function keys. Both number and function keys also have additional multimedia keys for volume up/down/mute, play/pause and skip next/prev track, power down, start a few common apps, and other function keys related to both Android and Windows. You have a function key to get to "home" and also can use Esc key as back button. In addition, the keyboard has a sick red backlighting which I found to be very useful. Keyboard feels really great to use in it's landscape orientation, and will help you to type and to text fast and accurate.
But the main attraction of this keyboard is Air/Fly mouse. Apparently it has a built-in high precision X, Y, Z three axis gyro sensor to enable a mouse pointer which you operate by waving the keyboard in portrait orientation. For a better control, you can even adjust precision of mouse movement with two CPI +/- function keys. There is a button labeled "OR" to enable/disable this air mouse and right/left mouse buttons next to it. The only thing, by design they flipped left/right buttons orientation, something you can get use to anyway. Plus, you also get page up/down bonus buttons on the side. One might ask, why do I need this keyboard/mouse? Well, if you are right next to your phone,you use your finger to tap and keyboard to type. But when you have your Note 2 connected to a dock going to TV, or your Windows laptop connected to a big monitor, etc. - this keyboard/mouse will be extremely useful since you can flip it as a remote, use mouse pointer to navigate and to click, and then flip it horizontally to type any text.
Overall, I found this keyboard to be just an awesome little gadget with a lot of functionality and multi-platform compatibility. I had it plugged it to my Note 2, and my Android PC stick (also from DX.com, in my review list), and to my Thankpad laptop with Win7 - worked like a charm in every case, no need for drivers or bluetooth pair up, a true plug'n'play. And as a bonus, it also comes with a built in SD card reader (or micro-SD with an adapter) which you just plug in with usb charging cable and it will show up as logical drive letter on your computer. Furthermore, it comes with very detailed instructions in English. For sure gets my recommendation, and so far I haven't had any issues with DX.com products.

I obviously haven't tested it for that long, but based on the spec of total battery capacity and very tiny current usage, it could easily last 35-40hr of non-stop clicking. So with realistic use of maybe 1hr a day you can easily go over a month of battery life before you need to charge it up again.

I know its small, but is the layout say the size of a netbook, can you touchtype with it?

If you mean typing with all fingers like a regular keyboard, not really because keys are small and more appropriate for thumb typing like you would on touch screen of Note 2 or with other phones that have physical keyboard. Is that what you mean by your question?

No, those notches are typically for full size qwerty touch keyboard to be traditionally aligned with keys and hand position. These keys are all smooth, nice rubbery texture, no notches sticking out. Between thumb typing and back light for when you are in the dark, I don't think you need that other stuff

I was looking at this and other models on dx.com as well, and I might just have to get this. I'm thinking since the f and j keys don't have any raised indicators on them, it would be easy enough to just put a little dab of white glue on the keys. Once the glue dries off, it'll be clear and you have a smooth bump to indicate the f and j.

For a typical "sidekick" type of phone keyboard - this one is the best out of everything I have tried because its very compact and keyboard keys end close to the edge without any touch page or other gimmicks. It makes it comfortable for thumb typing. As I mentioned before, mouse pointer is not something you will use sitting next to your Note 2, but if you have it connected to TV or any other Android or Windows devices connected to big screen where you are not physically sitting next to your smart phone or laptop - this mouse mounter is very good, and adjusting mouse sensitivity actually works. And if you combine it with one of these OTG adapters (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2107985) you don't have to worry about any otg cable dongles.

Review of Logitech K400 wireless keyboard with a touchpad w/lots of pics!!!

This is a review of Logitech K400 wireless keyboard with a touchpad. http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/wireless-touch-keyboard-k400r
After my recent review of Logitech T630 wireless mouse and previous reviews of different wireless keyboards, I have been asked by some of you about a more compact solution which combines both. Even so I had an answer to that from one of my older reviews of a candy-bar wireless keyboard with a mini touch pad and small keys intended for thumb typing, the question still remained open about a more comfortable full size keyboard solution combining keyboard and touchpad, operating wireless, and being compatible with Android smartphones and tablets. Sounds like a challenge? Not if you do some digging on Amazon where I discovered Logitech K400 wireless keyboard, the #1 selling product in that category with almost 3,300 comments and 4.5 star rating. But can it slice'n'dice and work with Android? Let's take a closer look.
Expecting a full size keyboard with a touchpad, the small footprint of K400 package box did catch me by surprise. Sometime it's hard to judge a product from a picture, and I was curious to take it out of the box for a hands'on experience. The keyboard felt very lightweight, coincidentally weighting only 400g including 2x AA batteries. With dimensions of 14" x 5.5" and varying between 1/3" to 3/4" in thickness due to a battery compartment at the edge, I found this size to be a perfect compromise between a traditional full size keyboard and the miniature one. Considering included touch pad, located to the right of the keyboard, I found the size to be just perfect and very comfortable to use both on the table and while sitting on the couch. Although having all plastic build, keyboard felt durable with very little twist-flex. Keys were comfortable for typing, had a good travel distance, and a quiet click action.
Two AA batteries were already included with a keyboard, and according to Logitech it should last for up to a year with a moderate daily use. It definitely has a power saving mode, and I noticed after about 30 seconds of inactivity the mouse pointer would fade away. In addition to included batteries, K400 also came with a usb receiver and wireless range extender. The wireless operation of this keyboard is based on 2.4GHz transmitter built into the keyboard and a small usb thumb receiver you attach to your laptop or smartphone/tablet, which supposed to cover a distance of up to 33 feet. The connection to Android device required OTG USB adapter, and of course making sure your Android device does support OTG. In my test I was using a small OTG USB micro-usb to USB adapter. Pair up with keyboard was super easy. You attach USB receiver to your smartphone and turn the keyboard on. Done! Right away you would see a mouse pointer on your screen.
Although advertised as Windows 7/8 keyboard with a lot of universal shortcut keys supporting Windows OS, there were plenty of keys to work specifically with Android. Home key at the top in a cluster of a few dedicated buttons worked just like android Home key taking you back to the main menu. FN+Ctrl worked as android Setting key. Right mouse key under touchpad worked as android Back key. You also have dedicated multimedia keys with Play/Pause and Skip Next/Prev, and Volume keys with volume up/down and mute button. Tapping mouse pad or using left key underneath of touchpad or another cleverly located left-mouse key in the upper left corner worked as android Enter/Select. There were also a number of dedicated Windows key, but it's just a bonus since my main focus was on Android controls.
Overall, anybody looking for a compact universal wireless keyboard with full size keys and a built in touch pad, and the ability to remotely control your phone or tablet or Windows laptop connected to TV or Smart TV itself - should seriously consider Logitech K400. With it's support of Windows and Android including specific shortcuts and multimedia keys, with it's clever ergonomic design to use on any surface and even being able to put in upright standing position thanks to a flat back area, with it's decent build quality and 3 year support, and excellent battery life - I seriously doubt you will be able to find anything better for under $25.

Thanks for your review!
It's been a while 'I kept an eye on this keyboard. Given that it also works well on Android, I think I'll take it!
Just one question: if I make a pinch to zoom on trackpad, I get a pinch to zoom on the screen?

Yeah
It's really great.

Sorry, I don't even have a stylus. I would just get a dedicated pad for that. Even if stylus does work (which I'm not sure), the area is very small and I don't think the resolution will be good enough to capture drawing details.

Review of Atongm Bluetooth wireless laser virtual keyboard w/lots of pics!!!

This is a review of Atongm Bluetooth wireless laser projection virtual keyboard. http://www.gearbest.com/bluetooth-keyboard/pp_68966.html
Bluetooth wireless keyboards come in all shapes and sizes, everything from an ultra portable candy bar size to a full size footprint comparable to your computer/laptop keyboard. I had a chance to test and to share with you about a number of different bt keyboards, and typically reviewed them based on portability and comfort. It never crossed my mind to describe a keyboard as a "cool gadget", at least not until now. Furthermore, it has been a challenge lately to find something original and cool after I covered so many different batteries, cases, headphones, and speakers, etc. I found different websites offering the same re-branded or similar looking generic gadgets. But I think I hit a jackpot when I recently came across http://www.gearbest.com and one particular product that I think you all going to like!
I have seen laser projection virtual keyboards in the past, though only in pictures or YT videos, and always thought it's a really cool gadget that belongs in one of those sci-fi movies. Just think about it, you have a laser light projecting a virtual keyboard on any surface where you tap the letters and it translates into the actual typing on your smart device or a computer. It sounds pretty cool, but also used to cost a lot of money. But just like with any other technology, after initial introduction the price goes down to become more affordable. Still, to this day most of the places sell these keyboards between $100-$120, and maybe you can find a few questionable models on ebay for $70-$80. What I found is a brand name manufactured laser projection keyboard which www.gearbest.com sells on their website for about $67, and now with a special coupon offer (code GBALK), you can get it for $49.99 with a free shipping.
Sounds too good to be true? Well, I had a chance to play around with this particular model and it actually WORKS!!! I'm not hyping it up, this keyboard does work and it makes typing looks cool! Arrived in a very small box, you never know what to expect considering its "big" functionality. It's actually very small in size, measuring about 3" x 1.5" x 0.75" and weighting around 50g. It comes with usb to mini-usb charging cable and a detailed English manual. The device itself has on/off switch and mini-usb connector on the back, and a laser projector and scanner windows on the front. You turn the power on, search and pair it up from your phone, and you are all set. Now, here is one negative I found - once you power down this keyboard and turn it back on, you will have to pair it up again since for some reason it doesn't remember the connection. It is a bit annoying, but honestly - not a show stopper because a benefit of using this keyboard outweighs this inconvenience.
Once it paired up, you have to be sure this keyboard projector is standing upright and you have a surface where you can see the laser projected keys. Since I always take my review pictures in one designated area on a granite counter top kitchen surface (where I get the best light), I used a piece of paper for a better contrast so there is no reflection when I'm taking pictures. But it also worked well on a lot of different surfaces I tried, even glass top of our kitchen table. The brightness of the keyboard could be adjusted to raise it up or to dim it down. Also, by default you have an audible beep alert to notify you that a letter was "pressed". That audible alert could be disabled as well for a quiet tapping. I was actually very please with included instructions since they go over all these details. Also, when you visit product page in the link I provided at the beginning of the review, they have a video tutorial how to setup and to use this keyboard.
So how was the typing? It takes a little bit of practice to get used to tapping on the surface instead of pushing the actual physical keys, but I got used to it very quickly. It's no different than touch screen use with your phone or tablet. The keys are spaced with plenty of room which makes it comfortable to type. You get a familiar QWERTY key layout with dedicate row of numbers and punctuation at the top (had to get used to that while looking at my period and comma). Another great thing, something a lot of you will appreciate, as I was typing on my Note 2 using this virtual laser keyboard - there was NO on-screen keyboard cluttering the space and leaving the whole screen open so I can see what I'm typing. With most of the BT keyboard I tested in the past, you always get pop-up on-screen keyboard which covers most of your screen. Here, it wasn't a problem. Perhaps it was part of the latest Android 4.4.2 update I got on my phone since I used bt keyboard in the past with pre 4.4 versions, but either way - I found it to be very useful.
Overall, this is a TRUE Super Geek gadget!!! Is this a must have accessory? I wouldn't necessary say so because you need to have a flat surface with some extra space to use it. But at the discounted price with a current coupon for under $50, it's one heck of a value that actually WORKS and LOOKS super cool!!! My only negative comment is that you will have to pair it manually every time you turn it on, but it's a small price to pay for a cool factor of virtually projected keyboard keys!
