hey you all,
I just bought this keyboard from frys for $39 for my media center pc. It has a built in scrolling track pad on the top right. it is about the same length as the gtab. when i plug it into the gtab, keys work but mouse does not. my gtab is still in stock form so mouse may work with all the great roms here.
If you don't have frys around, amazon still have it for $36. just search for hp mini wireless keyboard. there are two type one has a track ball and the one i have has a mouse sensor-like pad.
Mouse cursor isn't enabled on many roms. The only one I know of for gTabs is CyangogenMod.
good to know. maybe i'll try CyangogenMod when i'm brave enough.
I can also confirm that the mouse works on Vegan Beta 2. I was using it last night to play Angry Birds...

That is absolutely CRAZY... I had the same keyboard in my hand yesterday then put it back and thought I'd hold off only to have 'non-buyers' remorse later. Of all the smaller keyboards that one looked the nicest and had the mini usb connector so it doesn't stick out too much.
Guess I'll be stopping on the way home
I was hesitant to buy it too, until I realize it uses AA batteries. I have so much of those lying around.
For those interested, the keyboard has a slight angle where the batteries are held at the top, but the rest of the keyboard are like 2-3 mm thhttp://media.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon9.gifin. Receiver is tiny and can be stored away at the battery compartment.

I was testing the batteries life of my new toy so i decided to install that game, and that stupid birds cost me a whole night sleep.
Question -- I'm only getting 97% charged and light is green. Any of you all get this too?
Logitech Wii Keyboard works great!
I bought this for websurfing on my Wii and never even opened the box. Decided to try it out yesterday on the G-Tab and it rocks.
You can grab one from amazon for 20.00
Usb attachment stores in the back of the keyboard which is nice. Uses 2 AA batteries.
No mouse pad or pointer built in but as a keyboard its great.
Wondering if it can connect through bluetooth like a Wiimote as it has that option. If someone figures that out please let me know. Connecting it through bluetooth would be even cooler than wireless usb!
Cycle the Battery

Try cycling the battery, i.e. run the tablet until it drops, charge it to green+30 minutes, then do it again. Should be ok then. (BTW, it took me over two days to discharge the battery in my gtab, but if you play Angry Birds, you might be able to do it in a day. ).
With my worst Croc Dundee voice:
That is not a mini keyboard, THIS is a mini keyboard.

@mark
Doing the complete cycling now. Stupid tab takes too long to drain.
@rushless
that is not a mini, more like a micro but I do like it. I just need something easier to type and compose with.
hp micro keyboard with gtablet
-Check the review with pic of the HP micro u10g wireless keyboard at bettertoysthanbatman dot com. Works great with my gtab running cyanogen 7.0.0 beta 05. Exact same width as gtab.
Sorry, not allowed to post a clickable link yet.
Cycling the battery didn't work for me. Tried wiping battery data w/CWM. Worked for a while (got to 100%) more often than not but have not really noticed any depreciable run time loss. Using vegan beta1. HTH
I found that my logitect demini works with the gtab
Bought the hp mini wireless keyboard and it works great. The keyboard is simple, stylish, and feels solid. It is about the same length as the gtab and about 4" deep. This keyboard would also be great for an HTPC as well as it has an integrated mouse. The mouse doesn't do anything on the gtab however.
Some of the function keys on the keyboard actually do stuff to the gtab like volume up and down, and screen lock. I mostly plan to use the keyboard in meetings if I have to take notes.
Bought it at Staples in Canada for $40.
I am running Calkulin+Clemsyn3-OC/UV.

Depends what rom your running. Vegan shows a mouse cursor and includes various shortcut buttons (home = fn+home button, esc = back, windows button= options)
I use a mini-usb GearHead keyboard with a multi-touch touchpad. I've tried it with a couple TnT varients and now with VEGAn 5.1.1 and it works great and the touchpad works for pinch-to-zoom as well. It shows up as a crosshair (not an arrow style cursor).
My only complaint about this keyboard is that it doesn't have a "shift" key on the right side.
I wonder if HP multimedia is still available?

Got a quick question for those of you with the HD dock. Are you running dual USB devices for you mouse and keyboard, do wireless usb devices work for the dock sans drivers, or has anyone found a way to pair dual devices to have a bluetooth mouse and keyboard functional?
My dilemma is where I am planning on putting my dock, it's going to be really difficult to use wired devices because the dock is going to be located physically behind me. I need to find a way to go as wireless as possible so but at the store we were only able to pair up one bluetooth device at a time. Has anyone found a work around for that?

I've tried a couple of wireless keyboard/mouse combos plugged into the dock and neither worked. I'm currently using a powered usb hub plugged into the dock with a Logitec keyboard and mouse plugged into the hub. Works great.

Damn... That's what I was afraid of. My issue is I'm placing the dock on my nightstand located next to my bed for charging purposes. What's throwing me off is in one of the videos demoing the dock it shows them using both a wireless keyboard and mouse. It's gotta be possible, but I have no clue how. At the store we couldn't pair up two seperate bluetooth devices at the same time.
May have found a solution to my problem. At a local Compusa I found a bluetooth keyboard and trackpad in one. I'll take it to work and test it out... If it works, I'll report back.
My Logitech Wireless Desktop (USB Unifying receiver) worked fine, out of the box - keyboard and mouse.
There shouldnt be any reason that your generic wireless device/receiver combos dont work since they're simply a transmitter/receiver pair, your problem is likely with the lack of adequate power supplied by the dock. Theres no way that power supply puts out enough to power the phone as well as the USB ports so thats probably why the powered USB hub mentioned above solves everything.
As a regular trackball user on desktops, I've been looking for a Bluetooth one to go with the Tablet S to give me a bit more precision for tasks like text editing. Unfortunately apart from one very hard to source and expensive Mac targeted device my search has been fruitless.
I finally bit the bullet and ordered a mouse and would just like to recommend Dell's mini 5 button Bluetooth travel mouse.
It's length is just under half the screen height of the Tablet and is black/silver, so slightly smaller than a regular mouse and matches the tablet well. Using 2 AA batteries it paired straight away and only requires about an inch of movement for the pointer to traverse the whole screen. It also wakes the tablet up on movement. Scroll wheel works but the browser back & forward and right mouse button don't. If anyone has any tips for an app that would allow for these buttons that would be great but otherwise picked up for less than £20 I'm a happy bunny.
Cool. The ones I have used require a USB plug in.

Not sure I'm afraid, the on screen keyboard is good enough for my young slender fingers.
If it's a multiple bluetooth device issue I'll try it out with my PS3 controller tonight and see if both work together.
Here's the mouse anyway.

Well there's no problems talking to 2 bluetooth devices at the same time. But can't vouch for a keyboard I'm afraid.
Owners, help me please. I want to buy a BT Mouse. Some mice have extra (arrow) keys on the left side. Do they work for TFP? What functions do they have?
Thx 4 Ur answers
I have one of these bt mice with extra buttons on the left side working with my Prime. The extra buttons work as forward and back when browsing and when not browsing the back button works as a return button (bent arrow). I bought it via eBay from Hong Kong for very little money. It has full functionality and is quite small but feels a little plasticky.
Yeah, the arrow buttons are supported on my mouse too. IMO the most helpful addition is the scroll wheel, so make sure your mouse has that.
I bought my mouse at my local staples, so I'm guessing it's a pretty common mouse. I think it cost twenty bucks. It's a logitech M510, I would recommend one, I've had it nearly a year and haven't had to replace the batteries yet. If I were you, though, I'd just buy whichever BT mouse is the most comfortable to you, and keep the receipt - if it doesn't work on your prime, return it and try something else.

Bluetooth pairing can ask for a confirmation code. Since your mouse doesn't have a display or a number pad, we can safely assume the code is not user-configurable. The best advice I can provide is to check your mouse's manual. However, many manufacturers just use "0000" or "1234" as the code. Try those.

I would google the model name followed by "default bluetooth PIN" or something to that effect. If that doesn't work just google the brand followed by default pairing pen.
I was in a similar situation a while back on a computer and I knew the PIN but kept getting that error, turned out that the batteries were low and when I swapped them the PIN worked instantly. Doubt as yours is brand new that's the problem though but passing it on just in case.

There are many Type C HUB Docking Stations available in the market (particularly on AliExpress) for Macbooks/Windows laptops and Galaxy Note devices. Is the Asus ROG phone 2 compatible with them? If anybody has tested any of them then please post a link to the product here. Also let me know if any other app/root, etc. might be needed to support such a dock.

What do you mean by works? I was under the impression Game Genie blocks all mapping from anything thats not ASUS branded..
I've been using this Baseus dock. Works well, nice and compact, and very reasonably priced.
{Mod edit}
I have this Baseus dock, I never tested keyboard and mouse. And does the mapping function work on this dock?
Haven't tried the mapping function. What is that exactly?
Keyboard and mouse work fine
