Does the backspace key work for androids o this? One of the reviews said the key didn't work....this is important!

It most defintely works. Your device may ask you to change the input method. I was using Swype mode, and when I paired the keyboard, it prompted me to change back to a QWERTY mode keyboard. No problems.

The backspace key is labelled as "delete" and it's a single, dedicated backspace. The keyboard works very well - positioning of the keys, the feel too. You won't be disappointed.

Greetins. The "delete" key have backspace function. Thanks for your question.

Though it says "delete" (most likely due to space on the key), it does both, and backspace is the primary function of that key when used with an ipad. To backspace does not require a keystroke combination, just position your cursor using either the arrow keys or by touching the screen, then hit delete. To actually forward delete letters, you must use the combination fn + delete. (I have repeatedly tested both functions on the actual Ultrathin keyboard using an iPad Mini this morning. Using the left arrow key as presented by another user is unnecessary to backspace, the delete key alone is sufficient. And using the right arrow + delete continues to backspace, not forward.)

They will both work both ways, however there are specific android only keys on Android version and vice versa on ios version

There's no Escape key on my key board, and the replacement key has a square on it and this key does take you back to the Home Screen. Hope this helps! Willie

Not a problem at all. The only problem is the keyboard dose not have a back space key?

I have the feeling you're clicking on the small microphone icon somewhere at your keyboard. It's really hard to help, as I don't know what keyboard you're using, what Android version you're at, etc. Try to locate a small icon that looks like a square grid, that's the keyboard icon. See if hitting it, you get back to your keyboard. Otherwise go to Settings -&gt; Language & Input -&gt; Keyboard & Input methods and there choose your desired keyboard if you have several, or simply choose Google Keyboard. Hope this will help.

there is just a delete key that essentially acts as a backspace key too... the keyboard functionality is great! you won't have much difficulty getting use to it or its size

Not with android devices. Pressing a key will bring up the virtual keyboard on screen.

I was definitely a successful user...it paired easily for me. The problem I had, had to do with me using another input app and if I remember correctly this device needs you to use the Android keyboard as the input device...so if you use something like Swift Key you will keep having to change input methods.

This should work with a Blue Tooth service (ASUA android) for keyboard inputting text, but I don't think function keys, arrow, ... keys will do any thing.

Thanks for the info but by clicking stowaway keyboard icon and connect to keyboard command doesn't work. And when I use the connection manager from BB menu it detects te keyboard but I couldn't pair it because it won't accept my password. I think I'll have to use this only for my Sony micro pc.

It mostly works out of the box in Ubuntu 14.04.2. The play/pause and volume keys work but the rest of the media keys seem to be a no-op, and only a few keys on the detached numpad work (calculator shortcut, clear, backspace, enter) and I can't figure out how to make the rest work (numlock, 0-9, ., and the operators)

Any updates? Does this keyboard now allow for the mapping of a "Start" and "PS" button?! Please advise, I'm thinking of getting a keyboard but I don't know which one to buy for the ps3. The $80 doesn't seem to work that well (well, it's imperfect without any way to overcome its flaws).
