Sorry to be blunt... but putting my G Tab in a case with the keyboard... well, I'd just as well be using my Netbook and have a device that might take a little bit longer to boot.. but will run MS Word... Adobe apps w/o problems... Netflix... Hulu... Youtube.... and the list goes on and on....

The G Tab is good for some things.. but once you start adding all the bulk of cases with keyboards, etc... are you kind of defeating the purpose?

After using my stock G Tablet for a few months now... I find my self using it less and less and resorting to my small, lightweight laptops instead. The hassles involved with this particular device just doesn't seem worth the trouble.

Maybe the newer devices like the Iconia Tab with newer OS will be better...

Regardless... the whole thing of adding a keyboard just seems counter-intuitive to the purpose of a Tablet.

I use a Lenovo wireless trackball and keyboard combo when i need it (Lenovo Multimedia Remote with keyboard N5901). Works well from across the room if it's needed, i don't usually use it from that far away and so far i've only been using it regularly for about 2 weeks or so after installing EverNote.

Has worked for all of the rom's I've installed thus far...TNTLite, Vegan Ginger edition, Flashback...

It's regularly on deals.woot.com for around $25-30

just watch the ctrl-alt-del button if you get one...it'll reboot the tablet...

Because tablets can do a lot of things that a laptop cannot. I want a keyboard for web browsing, e mail, and forum posting though. I have had this tablet for about 10 hours now and i can already tell long posts and e mails are going to be a slightpain to type. I dont want to have to carry around this and my laptop so i can trade off between ocarina of time and sending an e mail.

P.s. n64 on android >n64 on a laptop

Default Logitech K400

This KB-touchpad combo is mini, not micro. But it works fine on all the Froyo-based ROMs I've tried, and also on ICS. It feels a little lightweight but it's relatively cheap (as low as $30).
