just a heads up to say i purchased a microsoft wedge bluetooth keyboard from ebay for only £6.19.
paired immediately and works a treat. even the media pause/play button works when tested on youtube. yet to test on other services. i use it alongside an ms bluetooth mouse i had lying around.
it's a fraction of what these excellent keyboards sell for - slovak/czech layout - which is QWERTY with a few extra characters and perfectly useable for uk english.
a cheap stylish alternative input leaving at least one usb slot free from a dongle.
i'm not the seller - just looking to pass on a bargain if anyone is looking for budget bt keys.

I can verify that the wireless Microsoft Arc keyboard (Model 1392, http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/ProductDetails.aspx?pid=120) does not work with the Gtab (Vegan 5.1.1) and dock. My cheap, wired HP keyboard (Model 5309U) does work. Some of the media keys at the top work too.
Ideally, I am looking for a wireless keyboard about the size of the MS Arc. Is bluetooth the best route for wireless keyboard and mouse? I don't want to get the case that has the build in keyboard.
Thx!
Keyboard Compatibility
I am looking for the same thing. Do any of the developers/users know which wired and Bluetooth keyboards are compatible with the gtab? Best Buy has limited selection which forces me to shop online. I don't want to purchase online only to find it will not work. Thanks.
I bought a small (really small) USB keyboard at OfficeDepot for 15 bucks. It is less than an inch longer than the gtab. Works like a charm. I liked it so much I bought one for my computer too.

Brand name? Part number, or SKU number?
Got the Apple Bluetooth Keyboard working. Made thread about it.

I read that, but I'm still on the stock ROM, wasn't sure if it would work.
I ordered a Microsoft Bluetooth keyboard and generic bluetooth mouse from Amazon. They should be here the middle of next week. I'll report back how they work.
Mini keyboard
I almost bought the one from Office depot. I guess I will go back and snag it
The MS BT 600 or maybe 6000 doesn't work with stock rom. I gave up and just bought the case with keyboard.
edit I really can't remember the model number know that I think about it but it is the small thin one, bought it about three weeks ago from Bestbuy.

You may want to look into one of these. I haven't personnaly delt with this brand before, but I have used the logitech one that is a normal size keyboard with the USB bluetooth doggle. Worked like a charm. Found this one at TigerDirect.com

Will the Menotek Flexible Bluetooth Keyboard work with my Sony S1?
Sorry I don't have a link, I'm new to this forum. I'm thinking about buying one from Amazon
Should do. I bought a cheap 10£ Bluetooth keyboard and works like a charm.
If its a standard Bluetooth keyboard, it will work just fine. If it requires some kind of proprietary receiver, that would be less likely to work, but thats rare nowadays. Even my Bluetooth mouse works without a hitch!
Anyone tried and know where to source a bluetooth keyboard with integrated trackpad to be used with the JetStream? Even better if included in a case, but willing to carry separately if it works in the end.
2 years ago I bought a Logitech Bluetooth keyboard with a built-in 2button trackpad combo for about $70 CDN with the exchange.
I originally bought it for my ps3 bit I think I'll be using it more for my new Jetstream I just won thru rogers (boo yah).
I know it works well with HTC products (i use it on my raider all the time) so I can't see it losing any functionality when using it on the tab.
Hope this helps!

Hello, anybody used Sculpt Mobile Keyboard or the Arc Keyboard on the PRO 12.2? How is it?
What are the differences between keyboards for Android and normal keyboards for Windows? Can I assume that as long as a keyboard is bluetooth, it should work with Android tablets? I suppose keyboards for Android tablets have cut/copy/phase buttons.
I have an old Microsoft Arc wireless keyboard that I used to use for my HTPC that works fine with the Note Pro using its USB dongle plugged into a USB OTG cable. Hotkey combinations like CTRL-C and CTRL-V work just like they do on a Windows machine.
I also have a Logitech Tablet Keyboard that's a standalone unit that opertates on Bluetooth. I cant say that I recommend that one, it's a battery killer whereby with the unit switched off (this is with a hardwired switch mind you) the two AA batteries will die after several weeks unused. Hard to believe I can go a couple of months using my cable/TV remote control every day as opposed to storing that keyboard unused and turned off.

Do you mean this: http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/tablet-keyboard-android-win8-rt?crid=26
Besides being a battery killer, how is it compared with the Logitech PRO for 12.2? My tablet is white. It is a bit strange to use a black Logitech PRO case with keyboard. Also, I heard that it is quite heavy compared with the Logitech Tablet Keyboard. Am I right?
Yeah that's essentially the one. I think they made a couple of variants and that is the latest incarnation of it. Mine is the 3.0+ but it looks exactly the same.
I'm stuck trying to decide whether or not to buy an integrated keyboard case. I'm leaning towards not doing so because if I'm going to lug the tablet around in a thick keyboard case I may as well carry my rMBP. I bought the note pro to carry with me practically everywhere I go so turning it into a laptop is NOT on my wishlist. On the other hand I do want a keyboard that I can shove into a suitcase when I travel such that I have somewhat of a laptop replacement once I'm at my destination.
All of that said the difference between the Logitech Tablet Keyboard and the Logitech Pro Keyboard Case boils down to whether or not you always need the keyboard functionality. They both weigh about the same once in a bag, though you save a few ounces on the stand alone keyboard compared to the keyboard case. With the keyboard case you'll have to deal with the keyboard being part of the tablet all of the time and it will undoubtedly be heavier than a plain book cover type case (the Samsung Book Cover Case is a full 0.75 lbs lighter than the Logitech Pro Keyboard Case).
I have the note pro 12 and bought the very light but very good samsung bt keyboaed. It's designation is bkb something or other. It's about $35 on ebay and has many hot keys linked to the np12.2. I also have several by mice but just ordered the samsung action s mouse which i also operates hot key-like on the np12. Carrying the np, keyboard and mouse is featherweight compared to a my old macbook air.
I don't need a keyboard all the time. A lightweight, comfortable keyboard is nice. Somebody mentioned about the Logitech Bluetooth illuminated keyboard K810.
i was looking around for a long time for a keyboard that I didnt have to always use and could have it not be attached to a case or anything. Also the size of the keyboard and how well it worked. I ended up buying the sparin ultra thin bluetooth off amazon on my way to work really quick. I got it a few days ago and it is very very thin and light and the length is about the size of he tablet (a little smaller). it sits perfectly on the rest of my 3 angle case when its all the way up or I can sit far back and use it. he keys are not that rubbery kind and are actually larger size keys , bigger then my laptops buttons. Also I can use the buttons to control the usage of my device and has a mail button that brings up your email and voice search button and even a button that you can press to bring the virtual keyboard back up on the screen or away so you can use either without having to reconnect it everytime. Easy to setup , turn switch on push button to pair bluetooth and thats it. here is the link if your interested and it was only 15 bucks.
