Would this thing work on Touch HD? Anyone have any idea? I've been googling all afternoon, but no one seems to mention anything about this neat keyboard pairing with XDA devices.

I think it wont -- in the link you provided its said and showed that theres a usb receiver and it works in 2400ghz frequency--- basically the keyboard comunicates only with the usb thingy, that came with the keyboard!!!
NO IT WONT!!
except only if you make it bluetooth keyboard!!!
Moving this to Blackstone accessories!
Yeah, sorry, I accidentally posted in the wrong thread

Nah, actually I'm aware of that thingy, but that's not what I want. I want a hardware keyboard I can use in my hands or in my lap. This one requires a flat surface to work and that's not an option since I need to be able to use the keyboard in the car / plane / train / ferryboat etc. So I have excluded pretty much all foldable keyboards because they can't be used that way.
I also saw the Logitech diNovo mini keyboard, which looks awesome, but is just so damn expensive I figured I first try to find some kind of alternative. There are a few mini wireless keyboards available out there, but only Logitech and this Super Tiny have illuminated keys (also a must have for me) and can be used without flat surface.
Guess I'll have to go for Logitech then
You could try by using the veripart 3-in-1 converter, which will give you a USB-port, so you can stick the transmitter onto it...
But I don't know how to get the drivers onto your device then....
Grtz,

Look for the Think outside, or i-Go bluetooth keyboard. it's foldable but you can use it on your lap also. I have been using one for the past two years. fantastic device!!

Yeah, me too, but I'm still undecided. Mostly because the reviews I read weren't that great as I expected.
To be honest, if I'm going to pay 150 euros for a plastic keyboard, then I expect it will be fantastic, and judging by what I read, it's just not so great as one would think.
I own a lot of Logitech devices and have been using their keyboards / mices for years. I never regret paying top money for those gadgets, but I'm just not sure about this little thing. Unfortunately, none of the available reviews tested this keyboard as an attachment to PDA device - most were oriented to Windows Vista tv application / web browsing. So, I'll wait for someone here on the forums to get it and report
Well there is this on the same web site http://usb.brando.com.hk/prod_detail.php?prod_id=00791&cat_id=034&dept_id=015

Please do test it!
I'm very interested in it's functioning with HD. Can you test it in SMS / Opera / Word? See if there's a way for the soft keys to be controled via keyboard.
Also, general impressions would be most welcomed.

the main keys and dpad work fine on the dinovo mini, not sure about the soft keys will test
and let you know (though I think they don't)
How about the Freedom Slim Keyboard .. http://www.htcdepot.com/freedom-slim-keypad/9A55A5051.htm about the size of the HD and nice metalic feel to it.

Bt Keyboard pairs but no response from keypresses
Hi,
Hopefully someone can help me with this as I am rather stuck.
I got this keyboard http://www.iconuk.co.uk/Keyboards--Mice-&-Tablets/Bluetooth-Keyboards/Keysonic-Mini-Blutooth-Wireless-Keyboard-KB-ACK-595BT/p-1583-621-1758-4106/ - Keysonic KB-ACK-595BT.
So far I have only got it to work twice with the touch HD, where it connected and was quite happy typing and controlling windows mobile (typed a whole document quite happily). However, the 2nd time it took several attempts before it would work and now I can't seem to do it again.
As far as I can tell the keyboard is fine (connects to windowsXP without issue) but after paring with the Phone (which it accepts) there is no response from the key presses.
I've tried all sorts to get it to work, but no utility or attempts to change the stack or Soft/Hard resets seems to help. I've even upgraded the radio to 1.12.25.16 but made no difference. I think this must be a WM6.1 issue with BT paring but I'm out of idea on how to fix it.
It is driving me nuts though, since it worked twice so why doesn't it now? Can't find anyone else who has had a similar problem so stuck for ideas on what to try next.
Thanks in advance.
Tim.
I found a bunch of old posts about a bluetooth keyboard that works for Hero, but not specifically for Sprint's. Any new info on this?
I dont necessarily care if it's bluetooth or not.... I just need get a portable keyboard and get it working.
Thx

Hi all
I'm looking for a compatible Bluetooth Mouse for the Transformer as addition to the Dock.
Who does already use a Bluetooth Mouse with the Transformer and which one?
Thanks
I use a small one.Bluetooth3.0, Working on TF very well. The name is :Newmen MS-173BT I don;t if you can get one. Because I'm from China...
Logitech v470
I bought an Inland Pro mouse from Fry's and it doesn't work well at all. It will pair and connect but after 5 minutes it disconnects and has to be paired again. Also putting the tablet in standby disconnects and it has to be paired again.
It is just useless.
Could someone try if right click works as right click in Pocket Cloud (or some other VNC app at least)?
It's not bluetooth, but i plugged the wireless trasmitter in and it works with the dock

i highly doubt t will register as an actuall right click on any of the pc server softwares only because android does not have the capablity of the "right click" but i am also curios if anyone can test for verification

Knowing linux it should register as a specific button number. So I hope it will work. I don't want to risk buying bluetooth mouse before I know (but probably will anyway, it doesn't cost a fortune anyway). Someone said his right mouse button works as back button on Xoom - it would be unfortunate.
PS. After consideration right click should be easily emulated anyway by long click, so I'll probably just buy a bluetooth mouse and check myself.
Alright I'm not sure if you guys are aware, but our phones are capable of tv-out via HDMI, and this is done via the MHL protocol which attaches an adapter to the usb port for simultaneous charging/HDMI out. Taking advantage of this I thought "hey it would be awesome to rock some emulators", but the traditional bluestacks/wiimote combo is not compatible with our devices due to some driver issues and samsung bluetooth stacks. So I scoured the internet looking for a solution that wouldn't involve me having to buy a bluetooth peripheral, and found out about "Sixaxis" control; this app allows one to use their existing PS3 Control as a joystick/input method, and works extremely well. It's worth the buy and is extremely smooth.
So After you have and have set-up the Emulator with your rom; you've set-up the Six-axis control from the instructions, connect your phone to your TV through MHL, set-up the input settings, and have fun!
Here's my Set-up

Huh? sixaxiscontroller works with Samsung BT stacks????
That's new... Usually using that on a Samsung device (other than Tab 10.1) required CM7.

That shocked me too. I paid $50 for a phonejoy to get around that.
I too was already expectant of the lack of bluetooth for stock roms, since I tried the same with the Captivate. But a random google search showed it running on the Galaxy S II (International Variant), so i gave it a spin!
Damn... I'm gonna have to grab my sixaxis from the car and bust out A Link to the Past...
thats pretty awsome

Nothing beats old consoles, just me replaying my childhood memories of Smash is amazing, considering how fluid it plays from our phone!
Ya know even with the video I was a skeptic. To test it they have a test app that can be used to verify it will work. You still need to go through all the steps and part of it involves a pc but the whole thing does work.
I loaded snesoid and mapped the joypad and buttons on my ps3 controller to the emulator disabling the virtual pad and the trackball options while I was at it. Once done I was playing super mario all stars on it pretty easily. There is virtually no lag between the controller and the game.
Tested on a stock rooted rom. No custom roms flashed at all which means I definitely used the standard samsung bluetooth stack to test it.
im running UnNamed and it says its not compatible. any ideas? or do i hav to run CM7?

First of all your phone needs to be rooted for the application to access root permissions, then install that app, and there's 2-3 times it'll ask for root permissions where you have to grant them. It should say it's compatible.

One thing I've encountered:
Running Sixaxiscontroller will cause a semipermanent bt_wake wakelock in the kernel. You need to reenable (and maybe also disable) BT in the main Settings menu to clear it.

Hi all!
I bought a cheap dx.com BT mouse, in the hope that it would work with my tablet.
It doesn't, and after some testing around, I've found out that the same mouse works with my Samsung Galaxy S II.
Would there be an easy fix to this issue?
Both are upgraded to Jelly Bean (neither stock). I was hoping that when I upgraded my TF201 to JB it would have worked (as my phone was on JB when I tested it) - but obviously it didn't.
So, I know it's all a bit airy fairy but, any help, anyone?
e: Oh, I should add, that the mouse connects and pairs to my TF201 fine. It simply doesn't move the mouse, with the keyboard dock in or not.

I wasted a lot of time and money trying to get a couple cheap BT mice to work on the Prime. Best advice is to forget them and get either Logitech V470 or Microsoft BT Notebook Mouse 5000. As far as I have read these are the only two that work reliably on our devices though I believe Asus themselves make one too.
I got a refurb MS one off eBay for £14 and it works great.

My experience mirrors those of Restorer -- but I didn't go through that many.
I purchased an inexpensive Bluetooth mouse and found that it worked terribly (to be charitable). Skips, lack of response, constant resets etc. I exchanged it and found that the replacement worked just as bad. That led me to the conclusion that it didn't like that mouse. I ended up buying a Logitech v470 which has worked flawlessly.
