Bluetooth keyboard not part of a case - Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories

I'm looking for a portable bluetooth keyboard that is not part of a case. My needs are something that is portable (folding or even rolling) to put in a briefcase but that gets decent reviews for really being able to type at a good clip on it.

I'd second this suggestion. I actually use this as my desktop keyboard now also.

I will back the suggestion up also. While it may not be as portable as a folding or soft keyboard, you will be able to type much faster and more accurately, while it will still take up little space. I ended up using a Microsoft Wedge keyboard, only because it was slightly smaller. While it is a good keyboard, I feel the Logitech is better.

I also have this guy, and it works great. Really like that its illuminated and can easily pair with multiple devices. The keys feel pretty good for typing as well.

I bought the Logitech K810 to pair with my Note 2014. Anybody else noticed the lag? The delay is very noticeable...
Am I maybe doing something wrong?

I get no lag at all.

I don't have lag with my K810, but I have constant connection drops if I stop typing for one second. It's pretty much unusable. The keyboard has no issues with my iPad though.

I have the Logitech k920 and really like it. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0054L8N7M/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
the only problem is Samsung felt the need to put the usb port on the bottom, so it doesn't sit on the stand with the stock usb cable plugged in.

I just got the Logitech k920 also and I love it. But the biggest gripe I have is exactly the same as Colchiro, I hate that Samsung decided to put the charge port at the bottom of the unit cuz it doesn't coincide with the stand very well.
But still amazing product for only $40

I ordered a angle adapter for the bottom. It just came in yesterday and I'm out of town so haven't tried it. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001EJHH20/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00

Think I will be getting this one

I've used mine a lot without any disconnects... until this morning ... when I started getting a disconnect whenever I would stop typing. I was using the Officesuite Pro app.
FYI, I rebooted the tablet and problem has not recurred.

I have the Logitech k920 and it's great !

That said, i'm using the Apple BT keyboard and Logitech VX 470 (same mouse as in above picture). Works great! Only complaint is i wish the right mouse click went backwards instead of using the same button as left. Same can be said about pressing the scrolly wheel
Does that case close with the GN10 in it's pocket? If so can you post a pic

[Q] Any 10 inch or more keyboards for this yet?

I have seen someone use the Acer Iconica keyboard, as it has a holder for it - however it is not very stable. I cannot understand why no-one has made a keyboard that is 10 inch or more for the nexus 7, as 7 inches is just too small. a 10 inch keyboard is only 1.5 inches either side!
Thank you,
Habylab

Probably because the makers of the keyboards make it as part of a case in which to carry the tablet around with, not a standalone that you leave somewhere. If someone made a 10" keyboard case for a 7" tablet and the person was ok to carry that keyboard case with tablet around, why not just buy a 10" tablet then?
I can imagine they wouldn't sell very well either. If they would have, you would bet someone would have made one by now.
I am using the logitech bluetooth tablet keyboard.
the case of the keyboard turns into a rack for the tablet
but you can't use it on your lap, you need a desk to use that keyboard.
and you are carrying two piece around instead one like a keyboard cover.

But no one thought something like the iPhone would sell well until it was considered, like this idea? It makes perfect sense
Less weight

if yes, how is it, thanks
I have one for 25 off an amazon seller. Works great. The keyboard is magnetic so you can remove it and use it detached which is cool.
Three negative that are not bad. First it does make it thick. about like a day planner, not bad. Two the keyboard is small as you would expect but it has nice travel and is quite usable. The third thing is that in landscape the edge of the screen can slip below the leather lip. If you use a hidden pie menu you might need to increase its target size to handle that.
But those are all minor. I like it. A HDMI adapter and this works well in a hotel for working.

In his thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2526070, BarryH nails the problem as a fight between the internal and external keyboards. His solution worked for me.
I don't think it matters which keyboard you have, as long as the internal keyboard is disabled while the Bluetooth is connected.

Im actually using a usb otg keyboard case for generic 10 inch tablets. Works well. I can set the tablet inside like a stand and plug up with my Logitech wireless mac touchpad and basically use the thing like a laptop. Much more stable than bluetooth even if you don't have that glitch (I dont) Use external keyboard helper pro to map special functions to the keys. Mine is set so I can control brightness, sound, and open several applications all from the keyboard. VERY NICE!!

I like the azio one better, because the dimensions look like they fit better with the note. (i.e., they are approximately the same width at about 9.5"). I have one of the Logitech keyboards that have the pop-up stand (http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/tablet-keyboard-ipad), and while the keyboard is much more sturdy and the build quality is excellent, it drives me up the wall that the keyboard is wider than the tablet, which makes it not as portable as I would like.
(For what it's worth, the Azio can be found on Amazon for about $32).
I use my Motorola Bluetooth Keyboard, which I bought for the Motorola Xoom a couple of years ago ... works like a charm ...

There was an announcement in November about an ASUS keyboard called the TransKeyboard, but no info on release date or price. Anyone have any info on this? Looks like it may be nice, built for android (and windows) with cover and stand.
I had a Transformer TF700T tablet and wasn't thrilled with that keyboard so I won't be buying another.

I just ordered a keyboard from Anker for 20€, which could be unique, as it uses two AAA batteries (about 2000mAh) instead of the typical sub-300mAh lithium battery. Will tell whether it works, when it arrives.

How is the case? Ive been eyeing this keyboard but not sure how I will like toating around a keyboard for classes and not having it built into the base. I keep going back to the Poetic removable keyboard case.
Its actually well built and the keyboard feels great. The case has a faux leather feel and the sliding stand is plastic. Decent viewing angle. It has some useful Android specific keys on there which help u navigate around. It's responsive, to the point where it doesnt lag behind while typing, but that point where u initially start typing, it takes 2 seconds to realize which keyboard ur typing with, internal or external

The Anker Ultra Slim BT has anchored. I thought it were smaller, bu it has a fullsize layout, notebook-like look and feel. Would work flawlessly, if the Samsung keyboard would not kick Swiftkey, once the Anker is detected. I later have to restore Swiftkey as default kb. On my old tablet (with CM11) Swiftkey runs the external kb.
Im using the HP BT Keyboard... cheap and works flawless.... never disconnects....

ZAGGkeys Cover keyboard working with Galaxy Note 10.1 2014

Hopefully ZAGG releases a keyboard like the one for the iPad Air. Since the iPad Air is almost same specs in size and thickness I decided to get the ZAGGkeys Cover Bluetooth Keyboard. Works great only con is, the short cut keys are specific for the Android OS and at times the keyboard disconnects or for some reason a letter gets stuck and you get a few letters.

I don't think I shall hold my breath waiting for Zagg though. The Note 2014 has not been a big seller and isn't well-supported by accessory manufacturers unfortunately.

Yeah, don't see ZAGG releasing a ZAGGkeys cover keyboard type for the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 anytime soon. I agree on the current aluminum keyboards only having the fixed angle.

Thank you for the perfect presentation. I want to buy one and just wanted to be sure. Do you have any problem with this keyboard? I can make slight modifications to avoid pressing the home button or something. Other than that if there is any problem I would like to have your advise?
Some advised to keep the Bluetooth visible all the time to avoid disconnects . Does that worked with you or you still have the disconnection problem ?

No problem. .. about the keyboard. I use it pretty much daily. About the only thing that really happens is that the Bluetooth disconnects from the Note 10.1 2014 Edition while I am typing. But this doesn't happen all the time. There is times when it does it 3 times when typing long emails or documents. I have gotton use to this, so most of the time I just quickly slide the on/off button on the keyboard and connects right up again and I continue where I left off. You can say that I have learned to live with this since I know this keyboard is meant for the iPad Air, fits nicely with the Note 10.1. I really like the ability to tilt the tablet to almost any angle. Still hoping that ZAGG or maybe Logitech will produce a keyboard like this. I haven't found a way to keep the keyboard from disconnecting.
