I am hoping some of you fellow tablet owners out there could help me out. ^-^
I'm looking to buy a keyboard and mouse for my Ice Cream Sammiched tablet, but I just want to be sure I don't waste my money. I plan on using them for my PC as well so I won't be buying Android specific accessories.
I have a couple items in mind already, but I'm open to anything that you guys personally recommend as long as it works.
Could anyone confirm if the Apple Magic Mouse and Bluetooth wireless keyboard work?
I could probably pull off building a kernel if the repo is open just to try some drivers that I've seen around...but honestly I haven't looked at any of that stuff for the Tab 10.1.
If the Magic Mouse is a no go then I was looking at this Logitech mouse.
And if anyone has any alternative suggestions to the Apple keyboard that work with ICS I'm also open to those.
If it's not too much to ask I'm also interested in knowing what doesn't work on mice and keyboards.
Thanks!

I'm looking for a small thumb-like bt keyboard. I know there are many folded ones, but they are all to big. Coming from Kaiser i miss thumb-typing, so i'm in need of something similar. Logitech dinovo mini is way to expencive and still to big to carry around. I found some, but don't know if they will work. If anyone has some idea if this can work on HD or does know thumb-like keyboard, please share.
Old one, but it looks great

Have you also explore alternative soft keyboards like Resco or SBP:

I also used to have a Touch Pro and a Tytn II and was a thumb typist on both. But, now I'm happy with JUST the HD and now keyboard.
i use soft keybrds for fast input, but when typing long emails it's much faster to type with hw keyboard. I even make less typos with it.
i suppose the only problem is with device driver, so what kind of BT chip does HD have? Some of this thumb keyboards allready have wm support (of some sort) and support Bluesoil.
I dont know much of this, so i could be way off. Even so, i think this would be good adition.
tnx
could be used for games?

I'm not sure that the maplin one would work
I had a real good look at it plus some web searching
ps3's use a different HID to microsoft
Hence I'm reasonable sure it not for you

I'm waiting to see this thing come out.

that is sick! bet its more than the other ones due to screen etc but would be a great companion to the blackstone
I just read that Japan is getting a Bluetooth keyboard for the PS3 for about $63 bucks US (figure it will probably be about $75 or so once it makes it over here). Any idea if this would work with Vegan Tab GE? I'm particularly interested in the mouse feature. It would be great to have a keyboard/mouse all-in-one combo like that.

Only way to know for sure is ' buy and try', let us know how it goes
I recently have run into Droidmote. I have a good setup at home but wanted to use my Asus Transformer as the mouse and keyboard. Took me 2 weeks to really find something that worked. Not sure if anyone is interested but I thought this was a cool find. Definitely worth the $2. Just put this on your Photon (or other android device) https://market.android.com/details?id=org.videomap.droidmoteserver
Also posted one of my worst videos of my life posted on youtube lol, due to me being too excited. This is also the same dock I purchased for $29.99 btw

Is there any way to create a flash able zip that could add support for the apple magic track pad to the pre alpha build of cm9? I know it is supported in some custom roms but hc 3.2 touchwiz did not have support and neither does cm9? So is there any way to add support or should I just wait for an official build of cm9?
Any help is greatly appreciated
Clarification:
Also when connecting to the track pad it pairs perfectly and my tab even recognizes it as the apple magic trackpad, but my guess is do to lack of support the pointer does not appear and the trackpad is quite useless. I bought this back when I first got my tab and I wasn't able to locally purchase any bt mouse's because my local tech shops are quite bad at having things in stock. So I'm kinda stuck with the trackpad and don't want it to become an expensive paperweight.
Once again thanks in advance for any help
I don't have a galaxy, but I'm interested in the outcome of this. I wonder if there is some kind of generic magic trackpad support that can be compiled in? On devices like the nexus, surely they didn't spend a lot of time coding in the trackpad just for that device - surely they're leveraging a generic driver?
Just wonder if anyone of you are using a bluetooth keyboard combo, or with a separate mouse ?
Just want to know your experience and advice of hardware ... or any input.
I'm waiting for my 6833 to arrive, and if I can use keyboard/mouse with it, I can do simple editing of Word/PowerPoint/Excel while on the road.
Thanks!

I went with the Logitech K810 and it is a great keyboard. For mouse I have a Razer Orochi, but hardly, the touch screen is sufficient at the moment.
