Default Found nice little keyboard that all menu/keys work on flyer/view

http://www.ebay.com/itm/200681908839...84.m1439.l2649

It paired up simple as anything else.
The home, back, menu, etc.. buttons all worked. Volume control to.
Has a little track pad that moves a cursor around on screen like a mouse.
And its small, like using cell phone keypad.

Plus has a laser pointer so you get the added enjoyment of making your cat or dog run around chasing it.

Interesting. It sounded like the Rii mini Bluetooth keyboard from your description so I went to Ebay to see. Looks like a Rii clone especially since they mention ”better than Rii” in the description. How well does multitouch work on that tiny touchpad. I felt the Rii keys were rather small. Do you find the keys tiny, considering that they've added quite a few extra keys over what the Rii has? When I bought my Rii, the Bluetooth version was about $45 if you searched for deals, easily $60 if you didn't. So if this keyboard works as well as the Rii for half the price it's a great deal.

Touchpad works fine. Its small like a square inch or so in size so you gotta pick your thumb up off it and go back to bottom of it to move it all the way across screen. You can just tap it as well to click something like a laptop.

Keys size seems fine to me as well. If your gonna be typing alot maybe a bigger one is best. I have my tablet installed in a cars dash and this works well to type in web/gps addresses

I have a similar keyboard. Can anybody give me any clues on how to pair it with the flyer please?

I have turned Bluetooth on, and tried scanning for devices.

Cheers,

John

Long press the power switch until the connect light blinks, blue if I remember correctly. The to actually pair enter the number, use 0000 or 1234, by typing those digits on the Bluetooth keyboard then enter.

My version came from Amazon. It has a sliding on/ off switch on the end, and a big red button which I think it's for pairing on the top left of the keyboard.

The box clearly states suitable for android 2.1 or higher, but I haven't been able to get it to be seen by my stock xperia active, or routed flyer running honeycomb.

I will try it with my Windows 7 laptop and let you know how I get on, but of anybody has any ideas it would be great to hear from you.

Cheers,

John

Ok, have given up on the keyboard as I can't seem to get it to work even with the laptop. Can anybody send me a current link to one on eBay or Amazon that works with the Flyer?

Thanks

John

The Rii mini Bluetooth keyboard works nicely. Available on both Ebay and Amazon. Cheapest place changes so search both.
