Yup, I also upgraded to the new OS a few days ago and the keyboard works fine and dandy on my Pearl. The batteries supplied were dead though....

An obvious question maybe, but are you using a blackberry pearl 8100 or 8130?
878455
Thanks, silly mistake really, I had did a bit of dyslexic typing. All is well now and the keyboard has paired with my blackberry.I will add here that I did upgrade to OS 4.2.1 which did not come with my BB even though i just bought it last week. After that and downloading Marco's file directly into my bb, everything was a breeze.Thanks again, D.

Thanks for the post, Timothy! That made getting my keyboard up and running much simpler. I now can use the device with my 8100 just fine.

Please look at the Blackberry thread. It does work on the Pearl - however it require OS version 4.2.1According to their website compatible Blackberry models are 8700c, 8800, 8830, Curve 8300, Pearl 8100.

David, you need to use the full path http://marcofrom.com/bb/Stowaway.jad Do mind the capitalization - It is still available there. I recommend sending an email to yourself with the link and clicking it ;)

Unfortunately, I have not heard of anyone yet that got it working with BB OS version 4.3/a Pearl 8130.

Yes I had the same problem with my steelseries K/B, The only 100% compatible k/b are a standard 101 key with no special functions, IOGEAR tech help is worse than useless very dissapointing for an industry leader like ATEN. I got mine to work with limited functionality by only plugging in the k/b and putting the mouse on the k/b's USB port.

The device may need enabling in terms of being able to be found by the keyboard, as bluetooth devices are usually unfindable in bluetooth settings for security. If that isn't the problem, I don't know a solution. I returned this keyboard, but pairing worked for me, I just wanted something bigger.

The device doesn't show as a device until you press the three keys it uses to come out of invisible mode. Once these are pressed the device acts as a normal USB device and locks out the keyboard behind it. Be prepared to be able to type using a different method once you press the three keys. The problem you describe may mean you have a defective device and need the manufacturer to look at it. I don't remember mine every coming up with a code 43 problem. Did yours ever work? Did yours ever show you the four files in the USB memory location after pressing the three keys?

Save your money. Get a USB OTG cable for less than 10 bucks and use any USB keyboard you own...wired or wireless. Just plug it in. No drivers needed. You can also plug in a mouse or USB flash drive. Or plug in a hub, preferably powered, and use them all at once. Here's an example of the USB OTG cable. Yes, I own this tablet, yes this works.JKase Micro USB OTG Host Cable to USB 2.0 Adapter for Samsung Smart phones

I do not have a Surface 2 and therefore cannot make a direct connection. The Surface 2 does have Bluetooth 4.0 and therefore I would expect the Microsoft Wedge Mobile Keyboard to connect. I believe that Amazon's return policy to be the best and should it not work you could try to return the keyboard. Personally I would take the chance. I have connected the Microsoft Wedge Mobile Keyboard to Bluetooth on a Nexus 7, an Apple iPad, and a Samsung Galaxy S3 phone and although I only use it on the Nexus 7 I really do like it. The size is right and battery life has been good for me. The fact that it does not connect physically to anything is what is necessary for me.

I had vary bad luck with mine. It stopped working just after my return window. So I put it away. I just dug it back out about 2 days ago and took it apart. It would not charge once it showed up to pair but could not get to work. Took it apart and the on off switch was broken. I just started to use my 2nd key board that replaced the one I wore out, this one is BT the other RF but same keyboard.iPazzport Mini Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard with Touchpad Backlit for HTPC and Desktop KP--810-10BTI hope the link works.

I bought this product with two assumptions that turned out to be faulty. The first is that their would be an acceptable android driver with the device, since the product description says that it works on android. The driver is hopelessly out of date, so on a newer phone it won't work. The second assumption was that I could find an alternative driver if there was a problem with the included one. It turns out that the included driver is by teksoft, which is the only company that might theoretically support the phone. The up to date driver for them "blueinput" does not even run without an instant force close for me. I imagine it would work i I could get a single driver to run.

Not specifically. Go to the website for details. Last I checked, some basic keyboard features may work, but others will not. No guarantees.

Wish I could help, it looks like this is App designed for MAC and iPads, and it has a version for PCs, but I don't use the software. Looking at some of the information on the Web, it only mentions that it can be used with USB keyboards, but doesn't mention anything about compatible keyboards. I'd suggest posting a comment on one of the Apple forums pertaining to this App/software. Sorry I could be more helpful.

I have tried to make keyboards work with this device, but see no way to do so. There is no bluetooth, and the tiny micro usb port would be cumbersome at best.

I'm sorry i had the same problem and the keyboard i never got to work.. i really liked the product but not able to use it correctly.

Hi. Yeah, it's a pain in the butt. SHARKK responded to my review to say that would fix it in the next release, but I'm not sure if they can do a firmware fix for existing models. I would definitely contact SHARKK support to ask how they intend to fix your problem: either a firmware fix or exchange your keyboard for one that works correctly. They seem to be genuinely concerned about providing good support. UPDATE JAN 22, 2014: I received the new version of the case yesterday from SHARKK. I charged the new KB before using it, then had it on for several hours today. I'm happy to report that it has not lost its connection yet. Much improved.

I only try it with my new (2013) Google Nuxus 7, and I think the original (2010) Google Nuxus 7 doesn't support slimport.

A brief Google-search for "Logitech Android Keyboard Blackberry Playbook" suggests that there are compatibility issues. I am not a Blackberry used myself, so it is hard to make a recommendation for an alternative. Good Luck.

Also, if it works on Android it will work on Linux distros if anyone is curious about that. Though I Imagine Bluesolei will connect to it in Windows 8. I'm not a 100% certain since I don't own the device. I'm on the fence about buying it, but beside the point I used an Apple wireless Keyboard with it (bluesolei) and seemed to do ok.

I've connected it to other devices, though this keyboard has iDevice specific function keys. Many work, some do not. As far as the basic keyboard, though, you should be good to go there.
