Bluetooth Keyboard Capable? Has anyone had experience with a wireless remote keyboard, much like Dell's Axim offers?

I just bought, and hooked up the iGo Stowaway Ultra Slim Bluetooth Keyboard and it works perfectly. I purchased this PDA and the stowaway keyboard for grad school as I ride my bicycle to school everyday and didn't want to lug around a laptop. The keyboard fold up to approx 5 inches x 3 inches and when unfolded is the size of a typical laptop keyboard minus the top row of numbers. Bluetooth compatability works great for it and it is very light to throw in a backpack.

This keyboard does not work with Bluetooth, although it uses a similar frequency range. It ships with its own transmitter/receiver and USB A connector.

I did...a logitech k400. It works ok.Makes browsing the net and manuerving the screen alot easier. For some strange reason, when I try to set up netflix,vudu etc it wouldnt let me enter info via keyboard only via the remote.Will troubleshoot it at a later time.

There is a Bluetooth keyboard/case available from Excaliberpc.com. Model # is 90XB00HP-BKB0R0, It appeared interesting but I have no experience with it. I am satisfied with the digital keyboard on the pad itself.

I don't actually know the answer to that but it sounds like a good idea. I've never tried to use a Bluetooth keyboard with it. I do agree that it's a real bear but you kind of just get used to it and I've never actually gotten one.

On screen or you can purchase a Bluetooth keyboard. I did and it works great!

This does not have Bluetooth capability. It comes with a dongle for the wireless keyboard and mouse. But it does lack Bluetooth.

Yes, but understand that not all apps will work with this keyboard so you may still need to use the remote for those apps.

Settings for Bluetooth need to be on. Click next keyboard and it should be "discoverable"

That was the same one we had with bluetooth, same problem. And yes it works just fine. You just don't get to use those cool options. Like a slide out qwerty keyboard and Bluetooth.

If you click on the "Smart" button on the remote, one of the icons is for web browsing. I've used it and it works (as long as you setup your T.V. ) on your home network. Since I don't have a keyboard attached to the T.V. it was cumbersome using selecting one letter at a time from the virtual keyboard and remote control, so I hardly ever use it.

This is not a bluetooth keyboard, so you would have to use the included USB dongle. It is standards compliant, which means it will be plug-and-play with any system. Rapoo does make a bluetooth keyboard (I'm not sure that it comes with a mouse). You may want to look into that model if you don't want to tie up a USB port.

I am really pleased with my Anker Bluetooth wireless keyboard. I am able to pair with a Bluetooth wireless speaker and keyboard at the same time. After being asked this question I plugged in one of my usb wireless keyboards and mouse just out of curiosity. Windows installed the drivers automatically and it worked great. I still prefer keeping the usb port open for other devices. Bluetooth is the way to go if you can.

The keyboard must be plugged into the tablet to work and not wireless. There is another option though and pretty cheap. Since the keyboard has a USB port you can get any Logitech wireless keyboard that comes with their dongle and use that keyboard. I have a Logitech keyboard that has both the keyboard AND the finger pad and mouse keys just like a normal laptop has so you don't need a seperate kb and mouse. That was about $30 at Walmart. You can plug the dongle into any device that uses USB....I also use it with my regular laptop (Windows) and even my Samsung smart TV (computer built in) for remote keyboard. Note though that on the ASUS there is not a USB port on the tablet itself only the keyboard so you still need both the tablet and its docking keyboard. That being said....the ASUS kb is excellent....in fact that is what I am using right now to reply to you.
