So I got a USB adapter and plugged my keyboard into it.. Problem is that the layout/key mapping isn't quite right.. Eg @ symbol is appearing above the 2 instead of being above the '
Does anyone know how to fix this?

You can't yet, it's not supported by Gingerbread... Sony did say (quite a few months ago, for the 2011 models) that they are working on an implementation of a keyboard layout switcher. Haven't heard anything since though.
Use a 3rd party app for mappings on my Dropad, but it may require root.
Thanks - What do you use?
Mine works ok, have to make sure the language is in UK English

You can install an alternate market called blackmart, and downlod it from there. I'm using it and I'm really happy! Luck!!
I have the Sony Ericsson swiping keyboard from the new Xperia line, i flashed it from another ROM and it works flawlessly for me
I'm using the Swype keyboard for months now and I'm very happy that I bought it.
It appears fast when I need it, the layout is perfect and I stand amazed with its predictions (it seems to know exactly what is the next word I want to write). The more I use it, the more it improves itself, since it learns the words I write.
It's pretty easy to start using it. After the initial installation, you need to download one (or more) language packs (with the words of the language you chose). The configuration screen explains itself.
I just installed V13 on my Mini Pro and noticed that some keys are swapped.
i.e. Z and Y. Has anyone else seen this or know how to fix it?
SOLVED

I figured it out. Once I disable Android keyboard in Language & keyboard settings. Everything works, z is now z, y is now y, / is now /, etc...
Don't know why I needed to do that, but it works
Thats great news

Worked for me as well. I'd rather use another keyboard than the Default Keyboard
I have successfully paired my ps3 bluetooth headset and wireless keypad to my view running honeycomb (gingerbread with the headset) and they both work flawlessly.
The wireless keypad has a touch mode which enables the keypad to double as a mouse.
It takes some time to get used to using the keypad for full navigation but it's a nice option to have along with bluetooth keyboards.
It's a nice alternative to the $50+ bt keyboards and so much more smaller. Give it a try sometime if any of you have access to these items.
Interesting. Did both work wih Gingerbread?
What did you do to get them paired? I guess there is a special USB cable to hook them to the tablet for pairing?
Are you rooted? Have you modified the build.prop? Is your mic on the headset working or is it just media. I tried to connect my motorola finiti and all I got was media.

I only tried the headset on gingerbread, not the keypad. Pairing is the same for any bt accessory; put the accessory in pairing mode, turn on bluetooth on the tablet then enter the passcode when instructed.

Yes I am rooted. On gingerbread I modified the bt profiles number and set service.brcm.bt.ag_supported to 1. After that I rebooted and made some calls with the headset and the mic worked flawlessly. On honeycomb the bt profiles number is already correct for the same devices so all you need to do is set ag_supported and pair the accessories.

This is the keypad I am using

Both work great on honeycomb. On gingerbread I only tested the headset, not the keypad.
I just got one over the weekend, ill try it on the GB view, the pads were on sale for $25 at BB.
So the pad u r using its like a key board and trackball? In other words u can control the tablet completely from the pad ?

Just about. The only downside is you have to switch between touchmode/trackball mode and typing, you can't do both at the same time. It isn't hard though to switch between the two as it has it's own dedicated button to go between the modes.
I haven't tested it with games but honestly that's the only time I prefer to actually touch the screen. Other than that, it's nice to be able to let my tablet sit on my night stand and just control it with the keypad.
And at less than $30 (average) you can't beat the portability factor.
All I can say is between the keypad and the headset I don't always have to be near the tablet to touch it for simple tasks.

Do you actually have the headset paired to Hands-Free or just Media Audio?
I used the headset to make phone calls on my view tablet.

You are able to use the mic on the BT headset to make calls on Honeycomb? How?
Skype, grooveip. On the headset you also have to press the phone button.

What I mean is that the HFP profile is disabled in Honeycomb. Even if the build.prop is edited it will show, but devices won't actually connect to it. I'm wondering how you got around that issue.
I'm wondering the same exact thing. Can someone shed light on this. My headset won't actually connect either and it's driving me nuts because the build.prop method seemed like a sure fix. Someone please help!
The build prop is not a fix. LEEDroid is working ona a fix, but no solution yet. Check his thread / ROM
I am only interested in the keypad.
Will the PS3 one work on an unrooted/stock evo view?

From what I remember HID is not a fully functioning option for Android.
You can use an app to get it working. Do a search on the Market for Bluetooth Keyboard.

I'm confused...
Does any Bluetooth mouse / keyboard works with energy ROM ICS?
And none works with stock ROM?
Are you sureeee you connected it? Last time I tried on sense 3 was a no go. How'd you connect the keyboard? N which keyboard
I flashed the Aokp ROM on my xperia U and got some interesting results. On flashing the non-play version the notification bar was missing and a lot of things were clearly broken. And on flashing the play version the phone now detects an external mouse or something. First I thought some accessibility feature had gotten turned on. I checked and nothing. The touch still works but a stupid pointer shows up on the display which I can navigate around with. But typings a pain and I could really use any suggestions anyone might have.
One of the reasons I think it has something to do with the external mouse thing is that the pointer gets affected by the pointer speed settings in the language and input tab!.
