Hi all, I'm looking to buy a bluetooth keyboard for my Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4. I just started school, so this would help me to take notes. Any suggestions? The only keyboard that I saw for the Tab Pro series wasn't compatible with the 8.4-inch model for some reason...
I'm not interested in a case/keyboard combination, just a decent mini keyboard. What have you tried that works?
**Edit: I just tried a random bluetooth keyboard, and it paired, but didn't work. I think it was for a different model number. My model number is SM-T320.
Thanks~ ^^
I have a Verbatim folding bluetooth keyboard that is a couple of years old, but it doesn't have Android keys like home or back. Everything else works great on it for email/typing.
I'd like to get a new one that everything works on. Back and home, maybe with a little touchpad. So when I'm traveling I can HDMI the tablet to a TV across the hotel room and control it all from the bed.

I just got this one and like how small it folds up and that it has a case that doubles as a stand.

Hi,
I recently got my Galaxy Tab. Having around an Apple wireless keyboard and a Magic Mouse, I decided to give them a try with the tab (I know it is a little ironic to use those two together given the legal war that is going on between the two companies ).
The keyboard worked perfectly (it paired and connected at first try).
The mouse also paired and connected at first try, but it just doesn't work. I am not getting a cursor, as it happens on my gf's GT P1000.
Anyone ever tried or made it work with an apple mouse or any other bluetooth mouse? Any ideas or workarounds? Thanks!
Regards,
Marius
Yes,...it works fine
I have a the Kensington Slimblade BT mouse and it works fine. This maybe a bit old technology, since I have it more than a year (using it also on my laptop)
I also have the small Apple BT keyboard - and it also works....sort-of. Sometimes te keys seems to get stuck and since it is created for the Apple envirnment, there are some 'dead keys' and some options missing.
I use my Dell compact BT mouse with no issues. I also use a Logitech diNovo keyboard. The two BT devices almost turn my GTab into a mini desktop.
The Apple Magic Mouse won't work...this is a known issue. It will pair but that's it.
The Apple Bluetooth Keyboard works fine with the 10.1. I've had no problems and like using it.
I've had no problems with Mircosoft's 5000 Bluetooth mouse pairing and operating the Tab. It makes for a great remote control!
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I have a similar issue. I bought a Speedlink Snappy SL-6158 Bluetooth mouse for approx 10 dollar and was thrilled to see it work on my Galaxy S3, so I thought it would work on my Tab2 as well. Wrong thinking. It paires just fine, but it will not show a cursor and does not react on the buttons.
Is there any solution for this problem, or did I just wasted 10 bucks?
I use a cheap bt mouse I got eBay and works fine here too...

Could you tell me what type of mouse this is?
And can anybody tell me if this can be solved by rooting and using a custom rom?
Hi there,
i would like to buy wireless keyboard for my Galaxy tab 7 2 and trying to find the best solution/keyboard. I want to use it for my Samsung Smart TV too. I saw many good review for Logitech Wireless Touch Keyboard K400 but finding if there is some other options thank this one.
By the way, is Galaxy tab 7 able to use wireless keyboard with BT or I need to use USB dongle and OTG cable ?
Thank you for you answers

If keyboard is bluetooth then will work with tab 2 without otg but u knw there are bluetooth keyboards that u must put a usb into ur device so that they work wirelessly
That needs otg abt the smart tv idk as I dont have one
I have 3 USB ports on my TV, so there wont be problem with it, i just needed to know if tab 2 supports BT keyboards
Of course
ok, and can somebody recommend me something better than Logitech K400
I tried the k400. I took it back. You need OTG cable to use K400 with our tabs.
I use Rii RT-UMK-100-BT. Its like a mini K400. I like it a lot.

I bought the Play Station 3 Keyboard (Bluetooth) - it works. I bought it for only 10 € (last one in the shop )
Only Problem - No German Layout possible without an app using "External Keyboard Helper" will fix it.
I´m on Galaxy Tab 2.7 CM 10.1.1 ; same problem on a P5110 Stock (no root).
Any ideas how to get it work without an app (German QWERTZ) ?
something in the build.prop?
Changing ro.product.locale.language=en and ro.product.locale.region=US to ro.product.locale.language=de and ro.product.locale.region=DE ?

No it depends on the rom you are using because the languages are in the csc folder and I am BUMPING THIS THREAD
Im using a Bluetooth Keyboard from ANKER.
Perfect layout, quite small, fast connected almost perfect!
ANKER Keyboard
I love it and use it to write a book
OK, it's an old topic, but anyway... Microsoft Wedge BT keyboard works perfectly for me. The only thing I don't like about it is the protruding part at the bottom (where the battery compartment is) -- I would prefer a flat design. But functionally, it's a great keyboard.

Those are NOT bluetooth keyboards -- they use proprietary RF transceivers. If it really is a BT peripheral, you don't need to plug in anything extra, as long as your host is BT-capable.
Cheap option...but
I bought a "aluminum" keyboard for my Tab 2 7. In reality it was plastic with an aluminum color. It fits the tab as a case and is BT. It works fine and I payed all of US $15.
The down side is the keys are very small so no way for my fat fingers to touch type. If I don't look and concentrate I hit 2 keys at a time. But I have been using it for the last 9 months.
Found it on Ebay.
Hey all, I know i'm kinda late to the party, but I found a nice little Bluetooth keyboard that has an integrated stand. It works really well for the Tab Pro 10.1 even though it's technically made for the iPad.
Here's a link to my review (with pics). http://www.amazon.com/review/R2XJOV3VU2D9EX/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00HAZOSWY
Looks like a great option. I wish I had found this thread months ago. I've had my Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 for almost a full year now, and while I love the performance, functionality and portability of it, I agree that it has been missing a keyboard.
It seems Samsung has abandoned the Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1. After months of searching I could not find a single custom keyboard option. Instead I could only find general/basic Android keyboards.
I've tried several Belkin options and some Logitech. Which do okay. Now I'm waiting on a keyboard from WayTools called the Textblade. It is a stand alone option, that is super thin and portable. Since I travel for work and run between classrooms at my University Portable is very important to me. I cannot fit my tablet, books, notebooks, keyboard, laptop, mouse, and etc. So I'm cutting down removing the 5 lbs laptop and 1 lb Belkin keyboard for the aforementioned option.
Thanks for making this post.
You're welcome.
Is that Textblade keyboard made specifically for the Tab Pro or is is a generic Android device?
Unfortunately it is generic but portability is the main selling point. See https://waytools.com/hands-on
Funny, I just pre-ordered a TextBlade as well. Looking forward to it!
Hi XDA people! I got a Tab Pro 10.1 as a gift a year back or so, I've been enjoying it with games or playing HD movies on my TV with HDMI adapter. I've also used it to study a lot, mainly just read while in bed. Very comfortable way to get A:s on your exams. However for the next semester I'm going to have to do way more written work, essays and such. This semester has only been exams so haven't really had any need for a case/keyboard. I've Googled a bit and found absolutely no case with integrated keyboard that fits the 10.1, nor do I think it might be the best idea to get as I need to do a great deal of work next semester.
I was wondering if it's at all possible to get a case the tab pro 10.1 and then a seperate keyboard for it? Or should I just invest into a laptop? I'm very greatful for any tips I can get!
Regards /Rob.
Samsung has neglected the Tab Pro 10.1
Unfortunately, I've been in the same boat as you. Looking for a year now for a folio/keyboard case for my Tab Pro 10.1.
There exists some options on eBay but nothing specifically made for the Tab Pro 10.1. I even considered a Logitech Keyboard case made for the Tab S since the dimensions were so similar but in the end i decided against spending $99+ on something that probably wouldn't fit right.
I've given up that search and opted out for a stand alone keyboard. I've tried several Belkin models and i'm now expecting a keyboard from WayTools called the Textblade. Very slim and portable. I plan to make this tablet and keyboard my daily drivers for School/Work.
Any cases with Incorporated keyboards with touch pads specifically for the S4, or that will fit the S4?
I haven't seen any specifically for the S4, but I saw some universal ones.
If you had the tab S2 Samsung keyboard it works, of course you can't use the case though.
I have an IVSO keyboard case but using my Tab S2 keyboard.
I order this one from amazon, and waiting for it, but it seems to be a good one!
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LRR2GJC/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_kPcJCbSAF0BDT
did you test surface keyboard? did it work? good sensitivtiy of the touchpad?
Did you manage to find any decent ones? I have a Tab S4 arriving today and would really like to get a keyboard case for it, but I don't want one without a touchpad.
Also, all the third party keyboards I have seen are bluetooth - are there none available that connect through pins like the official keyboard case??
I'm looking for a surface-like keyboard + trackpad too!!
