Im trying to find a small bluetooth keyboard that will work on the flyer/view but its hard to tell what works what doesn't .
If you have one that works with this tablet can you please post
What keyboard it is, and a link if possible
What Rom is on your tablet
If you needed any special apps to get it to work.
Thanks
any bluetooth keyboard should work fine. I have a motorola and a stow-away and both work well. no apps required. no special ROM
Oh, I was under the impression people had trouble getting them to pair and function with it.
I have never had any problem on either GB or HC with keyboards.
Headsets don't work on either, Headphones do, but headsets won't the mic won't work
My stowaway mouse works on my view w/GB. But the View doesn't recognize the keyboard special function keys needed to input the numbers code.

Which external (infrared or bluetooth) keyboard is compatible with MDAIII? What would you recommend?
Install the new Unofficial patch by Broadcom (Available at this site...). It will add HID support for Bluetooth keyboards. After you do that, you can use the ThinkOutside Stowaway Bluetooth Keyboard and it'll pair and work like a charm! Gotta love it.

I just picked up a ThinkOutside Stowaway Bluetooth keyboard.
After a few attempts at getting it setup, it now works great.
It's nice to be able to use the keyboard with the SX66 in portrait or landscape modes. I've seen it online for about $90.00
The Galaxy Player 5.0 appears to have bluetooth HID. I was able to pair and connect with a bluetooth keyboard - got a pin number to enter on the physical keyboard and got instant pairing. The keys work, and the one I have also controls the volume and starts and stops and moves ahead videos and songs. So, the mini keyboard is like a remote control for the device as well!
Can You post a link to the keyboard you bought, I was thing about getting one (mainly for ssh)
Bump, also interested to know which keyboard you used.
Most of the bluetooth keyboards that I see say they are for Iphone, Ipad, Ipod T. Is there any reason that these would not work with the SGP?
SGP 4.0 confirmed working with a PALM brand bluetooth keyboard.
Generally speaking, as long as the Bluetooth keyboard supports HID (as opposed to SPP) it should work. Function buttons may not work as advertised, and CTRL / ALT / SHIFT combinations may be slightly weird, but those issues can be addressed by changing the KEYLAYOUT file. A decent write up is here:
*sigh* I can't post links because I'm new. . . Bear with me here.

Based on this then the keyboards that say they work with Iphone which I have learned is HID should work with the SGP.
Can you post link to buy it and image of it? Thanks
Hey guys,
I just bought an SGP5 and after reading this post, tested my logitech BT Kybd.
It worked like a champ.
This is the kybd I used. I am also able to use the kybd with my SGS2.

The requirements for that keyboard includes Honeycomb and up, I'm just glad it worked on Gingerbread for you.

Cogratulations you invented the laptop.
I used to use Magic-Pro ProMini keyboard with my PC. It turns out that it works fine with galaxy player as well.
Is this a case or just a bluetooth keyboard.
Its good for tablets but not to mini tablet...

**just want to clarify i don't know or think this is the streaming issue with bluetooth/wifi.. i am just trying to keep 2 devices connected.
not sure if this is a known issue or i just have to sh*tty bluetooth devices that don't work well together
i have a "rocksoul" mouse and keyboard. when i have the keyboard alone it works great.. can navigate with the arrow keys and use alt tab.
when i hook them both up together. either the keyboard is ultra laggy or it just drops connection every 30 seconds.
is this a known issue? or should i try better devices?
also would getting a keyboard with a trackpad be a better option.. so it is one input?
I have a aluminium apple bluetooth keyboard. When I connect it to my tablet I put in the passcode to pair it and then check the box to use it as an input device, but when I go to type anywhere it doesn't do anything and the touchscreen keyboard comes up. I have tried the tablet with a wired keyboard, which works fine.
Thats odd. Ive paired mine as you and when i press any key the internal keyboard goes off. Are you sure you have set it up as the default keyboard?
How do I do this? In language and input I can only choose standard keyboard as the default.
YOU must type the correct Numbercode and hit the Enter Button on the Keyboard. This works i hope

I have an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and want to use it with my Xperia Tablet S 32gb,
I input the 4 digit code and it pairs, but it doesn't input anything. Strangely, it works on my Xperia S mobile phone!
I posted here about it! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1908522
If you have any ideas, please can you post for me?

Hey there, I do believe this comes down to incompatibilities with the version of bluetooth supported. Eg my my bluetooth mouse works on my laptop and galaxy s 2, but not my tablet s. My bluetooth key board which I know to be bluetooth 2.0 works fine on all. No idea what the mouse is, it was just a cheapo one with limited specs available. Wroks great on compatible devices though
Hi DreadPirateDan!
thanks for your reply,

I understand a bit about Bluetooth Human Interface Device Profile (HID) and wonder if some genius has worked out a way to get these to work together..
But guess I will have to give up! I have the case with keyboard for the Xperia Tablet S but the viewing angle is not good for me. Maybe I will find a cheap Bluetooth keyboard.
The Sony one - http://www.sony.co.uk/product/other-sony-tablet-accessories/sgp-wkb1 is a bit too pricey!

The Tablet S doesn't support Apple Bluetooth keyboard is because the kernel excluded module hid-apple. You can root your tablet to support it.

I not sure whether to root yet. Only experience is with my Samsung 7" tablet, and that must be 2 years ago now...
Then I am not sure how to add the correct Bluetooth profile!
Lots of reading and research to do!

Anyone else having issues trying to connect their Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse at the time same? Seems like I never had the problem before the 4.4.2 update which kinda sucks. Think KitKat might have broken multiple bluetooth at the same time connectivity...
On the ATT 4.4.2 Galaxy Mega.
I'm interested in using a bluetooth mouse on my galaxy mega, but i can't find it on phisical stores... just online!
The bluetooth mouse is great just can't use the keyboard at the same time. Guess I should can get a keyboard that has a built in track pad.
oh, i didn't know i can't use 2 bluetooth devices at the same time... at this point, as you said, a solution could be a keyboard with built-in trackpad. thanks!
Well it's a bit buggy because I can use my Pebble smart watch and mouse fine just having issues with the mouse and keyboard
