hp mini wireless keyboard

---

hey you all,

I just bought this keyboard from frys for $39 for my media center pc. It has a built in scrolling track pad on the top right. it is about the same length as the gtab. when i plug it into the gtab, keys work but mouse does not. my gtab is still in stock form so mouse may work with all the great roms here.

If you don't have frys around, amazon still have it for $36. just search for hp mini wireless keyboard. there are two type one has a track ball and the one i have has a mouse sensor-like pad.

Mouse cursor isn't enabled on many roms. The only one I know of for gTabs is CyangogenMod.

good to know. maybe i'll try CyangogenMod when i'm brave enough.

I can also confirm that the mouse works on Vegan Beta 2. I was using it last night to play Angry Birds...

That is absolutely CRAZY... I had the same keyboard in my hand yesterday then put it back and thought I'd hold off only to have 'non-buyers' remorse later. Of all the smaller keyboards that one looked the nicest and had the mini usb connector so it doesn't stick out too much.

Guess I'll be stopping on the way home

I was hesitant to buy it too, until I realize it uses AA batteries. I have so much of those lying around.

For those interested, the keyboard has a slight angle where the batteries are held at the top, but the rest of the keyboard are like 2-3 mm thhttp://media.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon9.gifin. Receiver is tiny and can be stored away at the battery compartment.

I was testing the batteries life of my new toy so i decided to install that game, and that stupid birds cost me a whole night sleep.

Question -- I'm only getting 97% charged and light is green. Any of you all get this too?

Logitech Wii Keyboard works great!

I bought this for websurfing on my Wii and never even opened the box. Decided to try it out yesterday on the G-Tab and it rocks.

You can grab one from amazon for 20.00

Usb attachment stores in the back of the keyboard which is nice. Uses 2 AA batteries.

No mouse pad or pointer built in but as a keyboard its great.

Wondering if it can connect through bluetooth like a Wiimote as it has that option. If someone figures that out please let me know. Connecting it through bluetooth would be even cooler than wireless usb!

Cycle the Battery

Try cycling the battery, i.e. run the tablet until it drops, charge it to green+30 minutes, then do it again. Should be ok then. (BTW, it took me over two days to discharge the battery in my gtab, but if you play Angry Birds, you might be able to do it in a day. ).

With my worst Croc Dundee voice:

That is not a mini keyboard, THIS is a mini keyboard.

@mark
Doing the complete cycling now. Stupid tab takes too long to drain.

@rushless
that is not a mini, more like a micro but I do like it. I just need something easier to type and compose with.
