Default Docking keyboards

With my original samsung 10.1, Newegg sent me a free docking keyboard (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16875998866). Will this work with the galaxy tab 2 10.1? I hope so.

Well took a look at the thickness and it appears that the original tabs were 0.34 and the tab 2 is 0.38. Man that is close

Is the connector in the same place?

I do not have it yet. While I was waiting for a reply I did find a thread where someone stated they could get it in there but it was really tight. Not sure if I would like putting that much stress on it.

The dock Connector is in the same spot but it is a snug fit and it does need to be forced our it will not fit

Maybe some careful work with a Dremel would do the trick?

Not sure if I would want to do that. I guess when it comes in I will try it and see what happens. If way too tight I will just cry and move on.

Tried the samsung dock. I don't think it's worth it to try to force the tablet into the dock. I went out and bought a Bluetooth keyboard

Sorry to hear it did not work out for you. So which keyboard did you end up getting? I'm considering getting a keyboard also.

I'm going to try sanding an old dock with Dremel, as someone suggested. Will keep you posted.
