While I'm waiting for my Xoom to arrive I've been checking out some accessories.
I came across a mini bluetooth keyboard. Looks pretty decent. Just wanted to share.

That looks sweet. Thanks.
Looks nice, and working with a PS3 as well makes it pretty attractive.
I just wonder if it would really be easier to type in than this on screen deal, especially with swype and swift key coming.

Does anyone have the Moto keyboard? If so, is it worth it?
I'm dreaming of sitting on my couch with my xoom hooked up to my tv while I'm sitting out the couch surfing the web, watching youtube stuff, etc. Somewhat of a google tv experience I guess. That would be awesome!

Everyone has a different preference and style. For me, I would like to keep my tablet on my end table and having a detached physical keyboard like this would make it much easier to type something instead of grabbing the tablet, placing it on my lap and typing on the screen.

The moto keyboard is worth every cent!! It is uber thin and light, I am very pleased with it. It really helps with the whole webtop theme, but you still need to touch the screen for a few things unfortunately.
Did you order that? I've been researching for a good one. I came across that one initially, but I'm pretty sure I read on some site that it didn't work well with Android.
I found this one that I'm thinking about getting
www sourcinggate com / portable-bluetooth-transfer-wireless-keyboard-mouse-combo-p-12376 . html
Would be cool if the mouse worked too
No I didn't order it. I am leaning toward the OEM keyboard because it has the shortcut keys and I can order with 25% off.
Although I would really like a trackpad for scrolling. I'm undecided on what to do.
I just want my Xoom to arrive. I have to wait until the 2nd...
I'm trying to find a cheap one that I could easily carry around with me. As thin as the moto keyboard is, its not pocket size.
Mine arrives today. I can't wait.
i bought that keyboard a few months back. it works well enough, but the build quality is a little shoddy. a almost pried it apart once when trying to insert the micro usb charge cable.
Does the xoom have HID or just keyboard compatibility? I have had that keyboard for a while and it is OK but not my favorite. I have a second, slightly wider one with a touchpad that I prefer when doing presentations.

Have you used it while mirrored to your tv? Thats what I think I'd mainly use it for.
If it works well while mirrored I think I'll pick it up.

Xoom does have HID Bluetooth profile. I'm currently using my Apple BT keyboard and works just fine.
I have been using the Motorola Bluetooth keyboard with my XOOM and it works perfectly! Although it isn't "pocket size", it fits really nicely in my backpack. It's pretty thin and of great build quality. It would be nice if it had a "trackpad" but the android navigation buttons at the top of the keyboard are brilliant!
Thanks for the info. I decided to go with the Moto keyboard. I liked it had the android keys and shortcuts.
Just waiting for my xoom now....
How do you link an Apple BT keyboard to the Zoom?

I am interested in using my 2009 Apple bluetooth keyboard on my Zoom when it arrives. When pairing, does the Zoom return a link code to enter to link the keyboard? The reason I ask is that I have attempted to link this keyboard to my Motorola Atrix but to complete the pairing, it asks you to enter a code but does not give you one to enter and none of the usual ones work. If I remember correctly, on an Apple-to Apple link, the computer gives you a 5 digit code to enter.
Thanks!
The Logitech DiNovo Mini works too. Doesn't have all the shorcuts though but is very portable.
the best bluetooth keyboard i have used, on any device, is the microsoft 6000. hands down beats the apple offering and others. only like 30 bucks too. especially when egronomics is brought into consideration.

Yes, it does.
I've been looking at the Samsung Keyboard dock, Logitech Bluetooth keyboard at BestBuy, and the Motorola Xoom keyboard.
I'm still not sure which is a better buy, and which one will work best for me.
I was using the Android on screen keyboard, but it no longer vibrates after installing the TouchWiz update.

did you check that haptic feedback is enabled? You have to check the configuration of whatever keyboard you're using (it's under settings--language and input--configure input methods--[select the keyboard you're using, i suspect it's the default samsung keyboard].

It's selected. I've tried numerous times of turning it on and off. Seems to be some type of bug within TouchWiz that keeps it from working. It works in a few other keyboards I have installed, but the Android keyboard will no longer vibrate.

Loitech keyboard! I love it battery life seems great, had it for 3 weeks. Its less than the Samsung one and uses bt so it will work with other devices. Comes with a nice protective case / stand.
The Samsung Bluetooth Keyboard Case is now available on their site for the 10.1. You can ask to be notified when available. They said it will be available in the next couple of weeks. If you google, you will see some CNET reviews that give you better pictures. It is supposedly as thin as the notebook case. I just hope it does not have the same flaws as the notebook case. I am returning mine tomorrow. The case seems to allow for easy depression of the power button. I am constantly turning the tablet on/off. I will pick it up, lift the flap, and find the device is booting back up. Not very helpful at all!
The samsung bluetooth keyboard/case looks the best so far. Of course its not out yet. Personally I want a keyboard that has capabilities of charging my tab, kinda like the asus keyboard. Anyway way to extend my battery life!!
I may have missed out on all the Touchpad craziness, but I did pick up a closeout Touchpad bluetooth keyboard from Office Depot for $25+tax using a Staples coupon from here. They had it priced at $69.99 in-store, but their website has it at $29.99 on clearance so just ask for a price adjustment.
It's a really nice feeling chiclet keyboard, about the size of the Apple Bluetooth, and uses AA vs. AAA so I expect good battery life. Some of the function keys don't seem to work (brightness, power, not sure about media) but the top left works as ESC and the Control keys do what they're supposed to, and it works great with Connectbot so I'm happy.

Based on the picture I saw, it seems to be better suited for table top use and not lap use.

I looked at the logitech and samsung keyboards.
I chose the logitech.
I didn't want to have to remove my tab from its case to use a keyboard. Thats one of the reasons i ditched the asus.
I like the keyboard shortcuts on the logitech, and i like that i can use it with my home theater pc.
The samsung seems too expensive for a non wireless keyboard imo.
Besides, its just a rehash of the old tab keyboard.
are you guys talking about the zagg keyboard or the Logitech one with the little plastic stand. I'm waiting on the zagg one up for preorder on Logitech. Com

I keep my tab in the case as well. I agree, I don't think I want to keep taking my tab in and out of the case to use the keyboard.
I've been keeping my eye on the LogiTech keyboard. So far I'm starting to use Thumb Keyboard more.

The zagg case just arrived today, got two shipped to NZ (one for my gf) and i have to say im very impressed with it.
They claim several weeks battery life of normal use(not sure how that compares to alternatives). though it charges through micro usb along with most new phones.
its very light, but also feels solid at the same time, the keys feel similar to the asus transformer dock but they are definitely more responsive.
although they state on their website that it has poor compatibility with the 10.1 in portrait mode i think it works quite well, stands fine and doesn't feel like falling over at all.
it has raised rubber feet on top of the metal so you can lie your tablet down ontop of dock without worrying about damaging it.
it has all the shortcuts you need, including full music control, android function key. escape takes you to home screen while the back key is placed where right alt is on a normal keyboard.
all in all, very nice dock of solid build that weighs less then the tablet for $69.99
Edit: its also bluetooth, so no need to take tab out of its case.
Anyone know how to fix the problem of the onscreen keyboard popping up with any of them? It gets annoying.
which logitech keyboard are u talking about guys?

Do you have a link? I couldn't find it on their website. The iPad version kept popping up.
Also, can it be used on your lap, or does it only work on a table top surface?

Hi guys,can i use this rom on a stock gingerbread rom tnx! dnt wana brick my tab.
Found by change and bought today a perfect working bluetooth keyboard. Was seeking for a long time. Now im absolute happy!
Its a RAPOO E6300
(I´m not allowed to post a link, you find it under RAPOO dot com)
It pretends to be designed for an iPad but is perfect working with my note. It´s very thin and has the right size to fit in every pocket, still large enough not to hit 3 keys with one stroke!
I had only to pair it, without any problem, and after switching off and on after the first pairing all keys are working and are corretly represented at my note. (Use a german layout with lots of ö,ä,ü,ß...).
Has very good quality and is quite affordable. Bought it in a store (Mediamarkt) at € 36,-.
Beautiful. Found one on amazon.

Nice one, now imagine if it was foladable, or even better, slideable..
nice one..
it looks very nice...
i wish i find a portable keyboard that i could touch type..
for example i ve seen that in a 7inch screen i can touch type with a little practice
it would be great for trips , to connect with bluetooth or with the usb adapter..
obviously wouldn't put it in my pocket
but i could carry in my bag .
ps..
for an internal keyboard the split screen SWIFTKEY TABLET edition is
doing wonders with note..
By touch typing do you mean a glass surface typing screen?
Brando has a neat keyboard which does exactly that:
http://shop.brando.com/FelTouch-Magic-Bluetooth-Keyboard-Touchpad_p7130c299d57.html
It has all the nice features:
Bluetooth
haptic feedback
backlighting
And the screen also doubles as a multitouch touch screen!
Dynamism has a similar wired keyboard as well:

Anything wrong with the Mac Bluetooth Keyboard, besides the price? It sure looks better then these. Last time I was at Fry's and typed on it, it felt comfortable. Never tried on my Note though.
I use Motorola BT keyboard and mouse for Motorola Android phone. Work amazing...
This looks awesome!

Is there any keyboard for the Note 10.1 similar to this one for the Mini Ipad?
As you can see, this keyboard is similar to the ones that come with some convertible notebook-tablets like Asus Transformer or HP Envy x2 where the keyboard is detachable and has a hinge so when attached, it looks like a notebook or laptop computer.
I'm not searching for a cover case with keyboard or a stand keyboard like the official one.

Nice try, but a keyboard of such kind so you can close it like a laptop, should have the same size (width and length) of the tablet itself. yours is wider and shorter. I am thinking of a keyboard similar to the Microsoft Surface's Type cover, including the trackpad but with a hinge.
Here is a mock up I designed many years ago, even before the first Ipad was released (but nobody bought my idea ). Of course, the tablet represented was not a Galaxy Tab but my own invention.

Yeah mine is kinda big because its the only keyboard that i could get that wasn't a bluetooth but a usb. Your design is quite good, why did you let go?
I am looking to make it as slim as the asus transformer prime. t
Note: This is just to show that this can be done with the right components.

Well, I really didn't let it go. I tried to move the project but I suppose I didn't find the correct people. It was a really impressive piece of hardware. I began thinking about it when the Ipad was rumoured but still not shown and I decided to make a dossier with image mock ups when the Ipad was released. It was going to use Android before any Android tablet was even rumoured. The screen was going to be 13" 1440x1024 and the innovation was that the screen was a full independent tablet but the base was not just an extension like those found in tablets like the Iconia W500 or Asus Transformer but a full laptop computer without a screen permanently attached. The screen could act independently as an Android tablet or as a wireless terminal of the base that would be Windows. The screen could attach to the base in horizontal or vertical position thanks to dual docking ports in USB3 format and the wireless transmission was a mix of Wi-Fi and WHDI. In my document I talked about "a PDA with a bigger screen", since the tablet as we now it today was not invented yet! I even talked about using Maemo or Windows Mobile :laugh:
Today we have full laptop power inside a tablet (as with the Surface Pro) so my design is not so attractive nowadays.

Anyone tried using any external Bluetooth keyboard for our Tab S2 9.7 ? Any recommendations before i go out and randomly buy stuff ?
...
I've got the Logitech KeysToGo keyboard paired up with mine.. (typing on it now!) Works a treat.. And so slim and lightweight too. Add to that a bluetooth mouse and the laptop is now redundant!
Have a look at the official Samsung BT keyboard and case, the keyboard is also removable if you don't want to use the case, best matching set for the S2 9.7, if they had one for the S2 8.0, I would of got it.

Thanks guys... i want to leave the keyboard on my desk... so the original Samsung keyboard case is too expensive if someone grabs it on my table.
Will look into the microsoft and logitech keyboards... does the screen keyboard show up when paired with the logitech or microsoft keyboards when you start typing?
...
The on screen keyboard is disabled when connected via bluetooth.. As soon as the keyboard is switched off it reappears. You can also toggle this in the notification bar. Hope that helps!
Thank you... all your responses helped... will be buying one soon.

Second vote for this!! Fantastic bloody keyboard.... Works flawlessly..never fails to pair... Battery life awesome... Expensive ($80 in AU ) but worth the money. I have it paired with the samsung original book cover... Great combo....All of my work colleagues with ipads with silly key board cases look on with envy... So light and easy to carry... And you don't have it in the way when you are just using the tab for browsing etc... Highly recommend it

I've just ordered a LG Rolly keyboard. My S2 is a laptop replacement so want something quick to setup and really comfortable to type on. Will report back when I've tried it.
One of the main selling points for me was being able to switch easily between phone and tablet. If this I've doesn't work I'll buy the Microsoft one. I've got a Surface Pro 3 so I know what that one feels like to type on. It's ok but am hoping the LG model has a better feel.
Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk
Update: bought the LG Rolly. Didn't like the haptics , my fingers kept mashing the keys and getting into the wrong places. The wife I don't mind it though so I think she might end up adopting it. I ended up with a Logitech keys to go for Android keyboard . The stand works really well and my fingers seem to feel at home and can touch type easily. The Key Travel is less then what I'm used to but it would be overly critical to call it mushy and I'm quite happy with a compromise considering how light weight the keyboard is . I really wish the Logitech supports more than one BT profile but I've realised for Long portions of text I can always use Evernote that synchronises between my tablet and my phone to share information.
J
The Logitech Keys to Go looks really good. Simple, no folding hinges to break. Lightweight, spill proof. So thin that it'll be easy to pack. Micro USB chargeable. With the discounts on Amazon it looks good value for money too. The downside is that that it only accepts single profile, I want to use the keyboard for two devices so that's not going to work for me.

I tried the official Samsung keyboard case in store. It looks really smart and matches the tablet really well. I like that you can remove the keyboard as well for better ergonomics. What I didn't like though was that the keys seemed quite small for the size of the keyboard. I wouldn't want to go any smaller than my iGo Stowaway keyboard which I love typing on but keeps breaking (I'm on my third one and they don't make them anymore).

[/COLOR]Before,i bought keyboards from other brands for my tablets,like logitech for my Note 10.1. That works, but the fine things, like recent app key, or menu button, often are not there. Ok,i help myself with external keyboard helper, but it's a compromise all times. This time i think, ok,the price is close to the same. So i bought the original. And, what should i say, I'm more than happy with it. .......
The difference are the small things,but a lot of them :
It fits exactly, it's very light,think,the half of weight as a logitech, and,it covers not the whole device. The Tab S2 is very slim and light ,but if i cover it with a book cover of logitech, it have the same weight as an five year old tab......
Also,you have two bluetooth connectors inside,so you can use it with two devices. It have the specified keys for recent apps,multitasking,volume,and much more. And it contains a touch pad, so you dont need a seperate mouse. Also, the tab isn't covered at all,so you feel the tab also,it's inside the cover.....the mounts, with two clips on the back of the tab, are very stable. But i have really problems, to mount it at the first time. It's not really shown in the quick start guide. But I'm afraid to press on the display, to click the pin into the tab,cause it needs a lot of pressure at the first time and i don't want to crash the display. .....but it works,and if it connected one time,it gets much easier the next time.....it's a good connecting system. But new. Also, the on off mechanism works with the original cover. If you close it,tab goes standby,otherwise, open the cover,tab wakes up. Very fine is, the keyboard ca be seperated from the cover. It fits with magnetic points in the cover,and you can use it complete seperate. If you use the Docking Station (with lan,hdmi and usb ports,great assecory too),you don't need to put it in the dock, like on older dockings by Samsung, no,there is a cable to connect docking station and device. Perfekt,dont need to put tab out of the cover for connecting the station. All in all, the book cover is really great,and if you wear it without the keyboard, it's very light weight, so you don't lost the slim and light advantage of the device........but, there is no possibility to scroll with the mouse pad, or zoom in and out by pinch. Think,there is no multi finger support. Means,I don't figure out it now....maybe anyone can tell me too......

Does anyone know if the Sony Z4 Tablet keyboard would fit with the Tab s2? I know it might look a bit funny when closed up but would it fit the hinge ok? I'd prefer a hinge that mimcs a laptop rather than a Surface (as the Samsung book keyboard cover does)
I have the official bluetooth keyboard and I have a question about the shortcuts: Mainly, what does the F3 shortcut do?
I agree the Keys-to-go keyboard is a great companion with our S2. Ultra portable and keeps with the same design when matched with the book cover.
My only gripe with it, that I have not found a solution for, is that when hitting the hot key for Mail it prompts for a default mail app (gmail or mail) and even if you select the app and say 'Always' it does not remember your default app and will always prompt for the selection when you hit the key. Likewise for the Music key.
Can anyone comment?
Yup I have that issue too... Have not found a fix.

hi cktlcmd, which one did you end up buying? and how are you liking whichever keyboard you ended up with?
I bought this one:
http://www.sweex.com/en/smart-media-accessoires/tablets/keyboards/KB300US/
My though was that having an integrated keyboard with the book cover, wouldn't be handsome. This tablet is very thin, having a big book cover would downgrade that.

I just purchased one as well. The white model.
I've never been a fan of chiclet style keyboards -- since day one when Apple started the craze for all things thin-as-hell -- but I don't really have a choice if I want a portable bluetooth keyboard for a tablet. They're all chiclet style. The Logetech's Keys-to-go keyboard looks even worse in terms of key depress travel length. That definitely wouldn't work for me.
So after a decent amount of research, I think this Microsoft Universal Keyboard will be the best for my needs. I'm giving this one an honest try.
Will post some thoughts after I've used it for a week or two.
I bought the logitech keyboard... works great... but lately i find the on screen keyboard is sufficient enough to use with WPS office word.
