Hi! I used to do running sessions, and I'm wont to bring just my old iPod nano and home keys. I've been looking for a comfortable way to bring my phone with me (useful for emergency, house alarm and maybe runastic) and retiring my iPod. Any suggestions or idea?

Wondering what people do for a case for the keyboard. When you go places do you just carry the keybaord open like that?
I just got it and love it. Just wondering what you all do.
Thinking about having my grandma knit something for it...

Are you folks useing the Wireless Keyboard for ATRIX™ / XOOM™*? If so how about a review on this keyboard? does it work well with the xoom? and if so why is it a better keyboard for useing with the xoom? THANKS!
Apparently I like warming up old, cold threads
I am also thinking about the "official" Motorola BT keyboard. I played with it for a few minutes in the Verizon store and I liked it (minus the price tag). I was wondering if it has any option to be charged or connected to a power source in any way or if it runs on batteries exclusively. My ultimate goal is to design my own portfolio that I can use with the keyboard.
I have the Motorola ARTIX / XOOM bluetooth keyboard. I really like it. It comes in handy when you need to type out a long email. I really like the shortcut buttons, it has them for Gmail, Browser, Contacts, Messaging (doesn't work on the XOOM), Search, Home, Menu and Music. It also has volume controls, stop, play and track forward / back buttons. It is a little laggy, but I figure that's just because it's bluetooth. It takes 2 AA batteries, and I don't think that you can use anything else, no place to plug in a charger or anything. The more I use it the more I like it actually. The hard part is shelling out $70 for it.
i have the keyboard. The only lag I expierence is when typing on forums. For email and talk it is very capable. Also very light and compact. Would purchase again. I could do up a review when I get home.
A review would be much appreciated the two things stopping me from buying it are 1. How portable it is and 2. If its worth the price tag
I owned and returned it.
portability was decent, largeish as far as BT keyboards go but nothing major.
price is more than double other similar keyboards, but it has the dedicated keys, which you might like
quality I found to be on the cheapish side, given the premium price.

I have been searching and searching for a bluetooth keyboard w/ trackpad to no avail.
Can someone recommend me the best keyboard in your opinion that connects great with the GNex? preferably one that has a trackpad on it.

Bump for interest.
Preferably something that doesn't suck.
I'd be looking for confirmation, but I bet one of the BT keyboards intended for use with the Xoom or GT 10.1 would be good for the Nexus because they have the Android keys in place and are meant to be used with Android. No trackpad, but I don't think you'll find a lot of those...
Also FWIW I hooked up my Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and it worked great. Command+Tab works for task switching, and interestingly volume up/down keys, as well as play/pause and forward/back track selection works as well. Kinda cool.
Please excuse the thread necromancy, but I have a good answer to this question:
I found a review of various bluetooth keyboards on Engadget: The Best Bluetooth Keyboard
I ended up getting their top recommendation, the Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 5000 (the cheaper version without the numberpad, which is otherwise identical). I paid $33. It rocks.
I don't agree with their review in a few ways.
1) the build quality is fine. It feels firm but not too firm, and it doesn't seem flimsy at all.
2) backspace isn't hard to reach, it's fine.
3) it's cheaper than they priced it.
Things that don't work: windows key doesn't do anything in android (I wish it performed either "Home" or "Menu"). The mute button doesn't do anything (but volume keys work as intended). F-keys don't do anything either. However, alt-tab works wonderfully.
Logitech DiNovo Edge (google that as I cannot post links yet)
I actually use this keyboard with my computer (typing on it this very second) and I love it. Its very flat and has great key feel, not to mention cordless and lasts a couple of months on a single charge.
It meets the requirements of the original poster being a bluetooth keyboard with a trackpad, but I would caution that it is not a cheap one. I have had this one for a few years and I think I paid a couple hundred for it. I am sure cheaper solutions might exist, but he said he wanted the "best."
Hi Guys!
I've been wanting to get a decent wireless keyboard and mouse to use on my S3.
I've seen the cheap mini ones with a mouse pad on ebay, but I'd be after a proper mouse and a real enough sized keyboard to type with.
Has anyone tested the Apple bluetooth keyboard and the magic mouse? I see those as beneficial for transportation, flatter and easier to store away. Minus the price of course
I've seen that a few like Toshiba, Samsung, Motorola have done their own portable keyboards for such uses, but very few seem to have bluetooth mice any more which can be paired.
So, your ideas, XDA?
Pretty much after posting this I hopped on ebay and looked around. There were some cheap Motorola Atrix Work and Play Kits going, so I ordered one, not really caring about the dock it comes with. Arrived this morning.
The box was pretty heavy. The dock actually feels very solid and high quality, shame you cant use it here... unless I break one of the connectors off leaving just the micro usb........ tempting. But then it's still a bit oversized.
Onto the keyboard. Very solid, good feel with the keys, standard laptop size. Function keys for app shortcuts don't work (although they register a sound on the phone), but the media keys do. play/pause, stop, skip, volume up/down mute. Search (opens google now) menu key, home key, back key. Seems to be able to wake my phone and unlock it too
My only issue is it seems to be similar to the american keyboard layout. A couple of keys are different though, so it maybe some european country's standard.
The mouse I am pleased with. It's standard size for a mini-mouse, again feels solid. All buttons and scrolling work fine.
Now to try and make it work with various FPS games. I may have read in a few places that it's possible.

If you have root go into /system/usr/keylayout/ and mod the text files, you should be able to assign them to anything as long as you know what code you want them to open, take a look at the atrix files to see what they were generating

So I got a moga pro power for last Christmas. I really want it to be good, but I've not had a good experience with it yet (and that's over a 7 month span!) Just now I was trying it with SuperGNES on my galaxy note 10.1 2014 just to see if it was something with my nexus 5. Fired up street fighter 2, and can't even get a fireball easily, maybe 1 out of 10 times it manages to do it correctly. Seems like it is either lagging or just not registering the buttons well.
Also, why are the buttons so clicky? I feel like I'm going to wake the dead when I try to play in the evening, they're so loud. I certainly wouldn't want to be sitting next to someone who was in the middle of a gaming session with a moga.
Is this the usual situation with Bluetooth controllers, are there any better ones? Should I just get another OTG cable and use my 360 controller?
Anybody else have experience with the Moga pro power or similar? I'm looking for something that works well and has good (console quality) buttons if there are any alternatives.
I use the Drone that was kickstarted not too long ago. I love mine and use it time to time. But there is no battery meter, but it works.
I'm using Moga Pro over a year now for me its perfect, mostly I use it in B mode [HID].
The latest game which I'm playing is Leo's fortune
Perfect.

You're always going to get some lag with a bluetooth controller on Android/iOS. Android doesn't have true built-in Bluetooth controller support, so they either use a custom driver (moga) or the bluetooth keyboard support (Moga in HID mode, plus most other controllers) which isn't optimized for input lag.
If you haven't already, give the other mode on your Moga a try (A vs B). If neither works well, Bluetooth just isn't going to be quick enough for you.
