I just got this $70 keyboard as a Christmas present and it doesn't work. Here's why. I tried to pair it, but the pair key dialog did not show up and instead popped up the invalid PIN or key dialog. I am using the HTC Flyer running on a Stock Android 3.2.1 ROM non-rooted, and it doesn't work.
EDIT: I am now running on Dexter'sJB v1.8 [Android 4.1.1 + CM10 build unofficial] Hope it works there. I will try to see if the dialog shows up, if not, I'll try to press 0000, then Enter. If that doesn't work, was Dexter bad at implementing bluetooth? Well because his ROM supports and pairs a lot of bluetooth devices including game controllers. So hope this keyboard works.
I had no problems. Same keyboard. I just hit 0000 and enter on keyboard and it connects

I have the same keyboard the iPad version. Works great but I can not change keyboard language without third party application. Is there any key combination for switching layouts ? Thanks!

I also tried to pair it to the Galaxy Player 3.6 with a stock rom and it paired, however it didn't work even with the easyconnect app. Is there a solution to make the pair key dialogue to pop up for the Lpgitech Tablet Keyboard for the HTC Flyer?

I would say try to contact HTC support but they won't help you with anything, they will just tell you that the Flyer is incompatible with the keyboard.
I have a Motorola BT Keyboard and the only way to get it to pair and work was by setting the keyboard in the "computer connect" mode. By pressing some keys on it, the Flyer was able to pair with it, and connect. If your keyboard has something like this in its settings, try it.

I have the same keyboard, also, and it had no problem pairing with my Flyer.
Flashed DextersJB
Never mind, I gave it away to my friend. But that was 2 months ago. Now I flashed dexter's jellybean rom v1.8 for the flyer. Hope the keyboard works. Also, thanks for the 0000 advice.
I miss my keyboard...
By the way, I would like to retrieve it back from my friend if it's possible. If not, I am planning to buy the iHome keyboard. Does it work for CM10 4.1.1 for HTC Flyer? But the most important thing is... I miss my keyboard so much!
Re: Logitech Bluetooth Tablet Keyboard (920-004569) on HTC Flyer
At least in my case, the Motorola Keyboard and Mouse work flawlessly in the Flyer on 4.1.1.

Since it's a windows keyboard...
As the title says, I am using External Keyboard Helper to assign some unrecognized buttons since it's a windows keyboard. Just look at the attachment below.

Well, did you enable your layout that suits your locale? If you did, try to switch language by pressing CTRL+SPACE on the keyboard. I don't know about it. If it's impossible for you, well there's no choice but to get a third party app.

Hi,
Just got my tab 10.1 but found that it has Chinese language display, Chinese voice input but no Chinese keyboard input. It does however have Korean keyboard input so it doesn't seem like a eastern language entering thing. My wife really needs chinese text input. What can I do? I spoke with Samsung tech support but nothing so far. I don't want to have to return this but my guess is that Asus/Acer tabs will have chinese input.
Any suggestions?
Pedroquien?
Just go get one of those Chinese input apps on the market such as MultiLing Keyboard. That's the one I use. Not bad. However, I haven't been able to find one with handwriting input that works on Honeycomb.
How well does this one work on Honeycomb with keyboard input?

go to swype.com
They have a new keyboard out for use with honeycomb .. the chinese language is included
i have tried several Chinese Keyboard Input on Android Tablet, the best IME is "Penpower for Tablet" from Market, but it cost USD 9.99. Another good choice is "sogouinput for android pad", you can find it from some Chinese website.
Swype v3.0 BETA have the Chinese language option and free to join now.
Maybe u can join.....

Anyone else have this on a UK keyboard/dock?
(It only seems to do this at the start of a line, but not if there is a capital letter before it...wierd.)
if so, is there a way of correcting it or other anomalies on a keyboard?
re-installng keyboard software for example?
Also, I notice that Fn + PgUp, PgDn, Home, and End do not work as a PC keyboard
FG
I'm not getting this problem on the UK keyboard. Are you getting this problem in one app or every app? If you are getting it in every app you might have a defective keyboard.
Edit: Which firmware are you running on?

it seems to do this on gmail, other email, this forum, and text entry in general
firmware is TF201-DOCK-0206

The firmware is the information listed under Build Number actually. Mine is 9.4.2.15. Try to see if there is a new firmware update which might have fixed the problem. Also make sure that you have the Asus English (UK) keyboard selected in the input option.

Had this problem (capital C and capital B) recently when filling a form in Chrome. I'm typing this in ICS Browser+ and everything seems fine: CCCBBB.
Sorry, yes I have the .15 firmware, and the input is correct: UK keyboard, ASUS UK keyboard..
The problem seems to be mainly with chrome beta.
a capital "b" seems to give a "return" as well.
Shame, because I like chrome beta, as I use chrome on the PC alot and like it.

I also just bought one today from radio shack for $19.97. This is the first thing i've typed since i got it.
Maybe you have a keyboard app causing issues. You it with a different input method? Swype vs. touchwiz

Well, my phone is my sk17i Xperia Mini Pro.... and I love the physical keyboard and it works as a phone for me. I don't mind the small screen size that much...
Although for "productivity" and "school stuff" I have a Xperia Z2 tablet. And I carry both of them with me most of the time.
Although I hate overall on-screen typing. I want to vomit every time I use an on-screen keyboard.
And as I was looking on ebay for an external mini keyboard, I remembered that I have a really good physical keyboard on my Xperia Mini Pro. And another external keyboard would be yet another device to carry with me.
So my question is... is it somehow possible to interact with my Xperia Z2 tablet using my Xperia Mini Pro physical keyboard? Software, bluetooth, wifi, OTG USB... anything goes.... Suggestions?
I know this is more than 2 years old and sadly without any answer, but I ask myself pretty much the same question, I would like to use the keyboard of my Xperia Mini Pro as bluetooth keyboard for the Amazon FireTV stick. Would be great if this was possible somehow...
Paid App

Hello, I know this is a old thread, but now we have some paid apps that say that you can do this. I have nothing with the owner and did not tested it yet, but I'll leave the link below anyway. The bad news is the app only works with some OS like Android and Windows, for example. Hope it helps you.

Thanks for your reply, but at least on Amazon's FireTV Stick it does not seem to work. I sideloaded the app to the FireTV stick, startet it, but get an error-message in the first step: If I select "Tap here, find An2An Receiver from the list and enable it, confirm the pop-up dialog, then return here" > the message "Cannot launcher keyboard settings, please do it manually and come back". is shown. Also there's no real documentation, can't get it to work.
I'm trying to use an external Bluetooth keyboard and my Find N language is set to English. But since I need to have Portuguese layout, I have installed SwiftKey and the layout is in Portuguese (no problem with that).
When I connect and pair my external keyboard (also with Portuguese layout), I can only write with the English layout on the external keyboard. So, I went to Android external keyboard layout and set it to Portuguese but I cannot use the Portuguese layout on the external keyboard.
I also check the configuration on SwiftKey keyboard and removed all layouts except Portuguese, but the external keyboard still "writes" in English. I downloaded, from PlayStore the extra layouts and apply it to android, same issue, no Portuguese layout.
Thinking that SwiftKey had some problem, I changed the default keyboard to Oppo's Baidu keyboard, but it's the same issue. Also in Baidu keyboard, I changed the layout to one of the available layouts but the keyboard still is using English layout.
Then, I tried a USB keyboard (not Bluetooth) with Portuguese layout and the same issue happens. Also, I made the same tests as mentioned above.
The problem is that, in the past, I was able to use Portuguese layout on my external keyboard, but after a reboot, I'm not able to change it, despite all configurations saying Portuguese layout.
So, my question: did anyone had a similar issue using external keyboards with different layout than English? Is there any adb command I can use to force a different layout on the external keyboard?
No one has this same issue?

Omg I do.
Did you find out the solution already?
Your problem is exactly the same as mine.
Ctrl+Space or whatever doesn't seem to be working.
It always stays at English. Please help
I wasn't able to fix the issue without doing a full reset. I tried to install a new set of keyboard layouts/keymap, but none worked for me. Since I had the upgrade to Android 13 available, I took the new version, but even then it didn't work. In the end, the solution was to full reset the device. After that, everything was working fine. My little understanding is that "something" (App or file) got "damaged" and the phone wasn't able to use the correct keymap, even after installing different keymaps.
By the way, one thing I noticed, when I had the problem, my Bluetooth gamepad also stopped working fine, so, I suspect it had something to do with the gamepad.
