Are the "Android specific keys" mapped correctly? I saw some review on youtube (sorry no link) showing the mapping of those keys being a little wonky...

The Android soft keys (Home, Back, Search and Menu) work but some of the app launchers such as Browser and Calendar don't. I can't find the keymapping preferences file to edit.

It works with iOS too.

I just purchased the Microsoft wedge keyboard and it works really well, a bit (lot) on the pricey side but very portable and the cover also folds to use as a holder for the tablet, similar to the Logitech. Tried to order the Logitech via eBay and got messed around by the seller, the Logitech one is/was not available for the android version here in the UK.

Very happy with the Microsoft one that I went for the wedge mouse as well which should be delivered by next Tuesday from Amazon UK.

The only downside to the Microsoft keyboard is that it does not have android specific keys although basic functionality like changing volume, brightness, playing media etc works.

I have been using them and I should be posting the review by the end of the week.

So far I like the Zagg one a bit more.

How is the amazon one? Which is the most compact?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] etotheo:
Just saw the Samsung Bluetooth Keyboard on eBay today. I couldn't find any reviews though...

I do have the Android specific Logitech keyboard, and its so so for me. Some of the key mapping is a little messed.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] graffixnyc:
I got the Zagg flex today. I'm impressed. It's really a nice KB.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] twospirits:
AmazonBasic is 10 5/16 wide by 4 1/2 deep and 10/16 height at the thicket (rear) part.

Zagg is 9 1/2 wide by 4 10/16 deep and 7/16 height at the thickest point.

The Zagg is more compact and has an extra set of keys for both android/IOS. It has a light aluminum color with black keys that somewhat match my white Note 10.1. The Amazon is totally black and does not have a dedicated row of android keys but it does have a home button.

Full review will be up tomorrow with pics.

TS
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] graffixnyc:
I wound up getting the flex. I really like it, Although after I ordered it I saw the zagg solo that has the stand built into the KB, but from what I read people seemed to like the flex over the solo. Has anyone tried both the flex and the solo?

Note 10.1 with Apple BT keyboard & Logitech BT mouse works

I am using the apple bluetooth keyboard with a logitech bluetooth mouse and all is working fine.

The mouse pointer shows correctly unlike the apple touchpad I tried which did not display a mouse pointer....

My Note 10.1 is just like a netbook ;)

If any of you guys you Citrix (which I do) or any other remote control style package it works really well !!

Enjoy
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] Hest88:
Thanks for the recommendation. We bought the Logitech, but the case is driving me crazy. It's fine for using around the house, but the case is so loose it might as well be a separate piece altogether. The Microsoft looks much better for travel.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] HasC:
Yes the Microsoft one is very portable and the case clips tightly onto the keyboard clamped on by the two lips on either side which are also used to hold the tablet when the case is used as a stand. Very sturdy and a lot of thought has gone into the design.

Another thing i have noticed which may be a Bluetooth issue with Android is that sometimes the keyboard loses its connection with the tablet and the only way to make it work is by un- pairing and restarting the tablet followed by repairing. Anyone else having a similar issue? I did a Google search on this issue and have read somewhere that it is a Samsung issue or something about how the pairing its managed.

There is also an app on the market called external keyboard helper pro, it's a paid app but really good. The app allows you to remap the keyboard to a number of different formats and you can also map your own functions e.g. launch an app using a keyboard shortcut. I also had an issue sometimes when I typed, letters on words kept repeating themselves, i overcame this issue by changing a few settings on this app. Now all seems perfect other than the pairing issue that happens now and again.

Google is your friend.. there are many links(and product names) to different kb's in this thread.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Looks interesting, but it's unclear to me if it's just a keyboard, a keyboard and a cover, or how the the tablet actually seats into it. I'm left with more questions than answers. :confused:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] carabassot80:
I guess, it is just a keyboard where the table seats into it and therefore the keyboard acts as a cover when closed. My main concern is about the Bluetooth integration...will it work properly? sometimes these China products...I am not sure about the quality honestly

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] HasC:
Install null keyboard from the market and select it when using the wedge keyboard. If you have an issue with letters repeating themselves when using the keyboard, there is a paid app on the market called external keyboard helper pro and you can change the timing of the key repeat which will resolve the issue.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] rgerrans:
And if you are rooted, you can setup Tasker plus Secure Settings to automatically switch to null keyboard when connected to the bluetooth keyboard.

I sold my note to get a surface but I also bought a new Bluetooth keyboard. It's the Logitech K810. It is hands down the best Bluetooth keyboard I have every used. It has backlit keys so you can type in the dark. You can also pair it to 3 different devices. I can type something on my Samsung slate and then hit a button to start typing something on my Surface. If someone texts me, I can hit another button to start typing on my phone. It is also pretty compact. BestBuy has it on sale this week for $79.

Posted this in another thread but figured I'd put it here also

Purchased the Vostrostone Aluminum Bluetooth Keyboard

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ls_o00_s00_i00 Got mine for a bit less at $34.99

Shipping was a lot faster than indicated. Ordered 11-1 and got it 11-9, so I'm fine with that. Original delivery was estimated 11-28 through 12-18. Overall they keyboard isn't a bad buy at all. It's very light weight, made of aluminum and the keys are responsive. Pairing through Bluetooth was easy and took about 45 seconds from start to finish (if that). I'm trying on it now, and while there is a slight delay sometimes displaying keystrokes, I haven't seen any misses or ignored strokes. Not a fan of chiclet keys but that seems to be the latest thing these days. Comes with a micro usb cable for charging (does not double as a data xfr cable). Charges in about an hour and lasts .. well, 2 days so far. I've used it for about 5 total hours. It has three plastic clips on it that allow it to be snapped to the tablet and act as a screen protector of sorts. Useful, but only if you don't have a case for it. One thing I don't like is the groove that the tablet rests in. It's shallow and doesn't hols the tablet sturdy at all on your lap, so this is strictly for table or desk use. If you bang your keyboard, you'll end up hating it, but if you're a soft typist, it stays upright just fine. Volume keys, screen dimmer, and music controls work perfectly. Search and home do also. The plastic tab that acts as rear support for the tablet is smooth, but does a decent job holding it up. If you're looking for a keyboard for classes and don't need to press on the screen much, it's perfect, but using the screen is two handed. One to use, the other to hold the tablet. Here are some pics to give you an idea

Also, need spare cables? These are official Samsung -- $1.65 each

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
I'm really looking forward to hearing that. What concerns me the most is this -

"One thing I don't like is the groove that the tablet rests in. It's shallow and doesn't hols the tablet sturdy at all on your lap, so this is strictly for table or desk use."
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] Uncle Irish:
Its definitely not going to work on the couch watching TV. It needs a stable flat surface or the tablet slips out of the groove. I'm on the fence big time. Its great so long as it doesn't move at all but I was hoping for something to secure it in place
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Sadly, this makes it completely unusable for me.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] Uncle Irish:
Yea :(

Its looking more and more like a return for me also just because of that
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
I guess I'm going to have to shell out the big bucks, if the official keyboard ever becomes available in the US.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] Riki1kenobi:
Just thought I'd jump into the discussion here as I have this exact keyboard/case for my note .

I agree with a lot of your review. I'll add my impressions. Starting with the Negatives.

As a case/stand I would NOT recommend it as it has a few flaws in its design. Weight distribution being a major flaw. When the tab is seated the weight of the screen pushes back onto a plastic flap that acts as a kickstand. To be fair it works pretty well on a flat surface. However in a seated position it becomes top heavy, you can alleviate this to an extent if you brace it with your knees while in a slouched position (on the couch, in bed etc), but a word of caution EVEN IF you brace it you have to move carefully OR you risk sending the tab flying towards you! You can tilt it sideways a fair distance before it will slide off, but it only takes a slight tilt forward to fall off.

Other negatives with it as case are to do with the construction. The material it is made from is a sort of brushed aluminum, which is very smooth and as a consequence also very slippery. Sometimes it is like picking up a bar of soap. The case itself clips onto the tab and to be fair it does hold it pretty well, but crucially, it can still slide sideways out of the case WITHOUT too much pressure.

Okay, now for some positives.

It is ideal for those long writing sessions. As a writer the main thing for me on any keyboard is how easy it is to use the keys. I have no issues with the keys (chiclet style) they are tactile and responsive and very similar to a macbook/ultrabook type of keyboard. WPM count is up there with only the odd typo. I did notice a sticky shift key which kept producing a DOuble capital every now and then but then I have had this on other chiclet keyboards so its maybe an inherent design flaw with that type of board (or quite possibly my typing :angel: )

Battery life is outstandng. You'll get a good few days of heavy typing sessions out of a charge. SO I'd expect a week or so for lighter use.

Overall impressions,

It is a bluetooth keyboard and it does what it is supposed to do. As a case, not so much!

As a keyboard 8/10 as a case 6/10

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] namato:
sounds just what i am looking for. Nice review.

SGs3 4.1.1 Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 4.0.4
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] Uncle Irish:
The battery will last you for a solid week. I've put about 15 hours use on mine and it still has life left. No meter to tel how much, but it's still working. I'm going to keep mine because it makes it really easy to take notes in my one campus class.

When used as a case, the tablet can be slid from left to right inside the clips. It doesn't move on its own, but it can be slid. It is held in place by 4 little rubber pads on the keyboard itself, but I suspect over time these will smooth out and lose their grip. Not a huge deal though since its not a true protective cover.

The keyboard body is so thin that it can bow if placed in a backpack and something presses against it, but again not a huge deal. After almost a week, the keys have worked in a bit more and are still very responsive. I see slight lag in typing once in a while, but its negligible and doesn't effect workflow.

As far as lap typing, I still haven't been able to comfortably. The crouched/knees bent position you mentioned works, but it's not comfortable and I end up moving and flopping the tab either forward or backward. I have a 13" laptop, so I just use that for couch typing.

The only thing this is missing is a solid mount for the tablet to keep it from moving and a touch pad. If there were brackets on the edges of the tablet when in use like the clips to make it a cover, it would be damn near perfect. I may contact the company with those design suggestions and see what happens. IMO, adding the touchpad and those additional clips would make it perfect. A little thicker body to tuck the clips in the groove when not in use and then its a pretty damn solid 10 rating

(hopefully you know what I'm talking about with the side clips ;) )
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] Riki1kenobi:
Yeah mate, the clips on mine don't give a solid hold. It still requires a bit of a push but I have already nearly had it slide out whilst walking upstairs. I definitely would NOT recommend as a case, but as a keyboard it is great.

A workaround to get it to stay firmly in place when typing, is to try a barely there case, you know the rubberized ones that are only a few quid off ebay. The traction from the rubber helps it stick in the grove/trough better, plus if it falls it has some protection. The keyboard still clips on as a case as well., just clips under the rubber rather than over it, if you know what I mean ;)

I also toyed with the idea of sticking some Velcro to the kickstand and a piece on the back of the tab, but didn't get around to it. I've ordered an IVSO case, had one on my P1000 and it does the business. Will use the keyboard for those times when I know I'll need to do some typing.

Anyone try this keyboard out?

Hey guys!

I just ordered the Note last night from Amazon, it'll be my first tablet - I am SO excited to get this! :D

Anyway, I have searched this forum and read all the postings from this thread, a couple of people have mentioned/posted a link to this particular model, but no response. Since it's been awhile since anyone has posted in this thread, I wondered if by now someone has tried this one...

http://www.amazon.com/eWonder-Wireless-Bluetooth-alternative-B00A2ZEMBQ/dp/B009EG0UII/ref=pd_ybh_6

It's one that I am considering, so far it has 21 reviews/4 stars from Amazon - so hopefully it's a good one to consider. I like that it's a case/keyboard combo, with Android short-cut keys. Has anyone here tried this one - if so, what do you think of it?

Thanks! :)

Hey guys.

I am looking for a keyboard for my note 10.1. From the pages I read here, some look nice, but I still need more detail.

Basically, I'm looking for a keyboard which also serves as a case, and that fixes the tablet. I mean, I'd like to be able to use it in my bed for example, without the tablet falling on me or sliding away.

Is there such a keyboard case available now ? In Europe, if possible.

Thanks in advance !

Decent reviews on Amazon, if you want to read them. I've seen this same KB on eBay, selling in other countries, so you should be able to find it on eBay, if Amazon doesn't have one to ship to your country. :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] Askherion:
Thanks for your answer.

The reviews on Amazon were not very good... Especially on typing quality. But anyway, I couldn't find anything for this KB case in Europe...

However, I found another one, which seems really nice, but maybe a little bit more expansive. And I could find it with the correct keyboard layout, which seemed to be very hard to find (I'm from Switzerland... ). It's a Kensington KeyFolio Expert for Android / Windows 7 tablets. The dimensions looks right, and not too heavy...

I'll post here when I receive it, I just ordered it.

I personally don't really like many of the keyboard cases on the market currently and would like to see the ZAGGfolio design by ZAGG released. They have some really nice cases for Ipad and Tab 10.1 but none for the Note 10.1 yet. I recently submitted a product idea asking for a Note 10.1 Keyboard Case, and linking this thread as proof of a market. Anyone interested through them a suggestion in the Contact Us section.

Guys, what do you think of this...

Bearing in mind I dont really travel and this tablet never leaves the house because Im only in college (UK College not university, sorry the american education system is confusing), anyways I'm thinking of buying a case with a flip back optipn so it can stand up without any other kind of support, a wireless keyboard and mouse or O could just get one of these cases with inbuilt keyboard...

What do you guyd think?
