Keyboards for the 7+

So the earlier link for the first keyboard mentioned from dealextreme is dead; not sure which one that was.

Anyone tried others other than the logitech and the stock?

I would go with the stock, but I would prefer something that allows me to use the tablet "landscape" . Yes, I realize the docking port is on the "bottom edge", but there are ways to work around that.

I am basically trying to free myself of the need to lug the laptop with me nearly everywhere in case of an emergency at work. One time I actually used my Phone to VNC over VPN, thank goodness I have a physical keyboard on that. But my GNOME desktop is tough enough to read Landscape, it is really annoying to try and use it Portrait.



Also - has anyone tried any of the keyboard with ICS yet, found any issues?

I'm using the HDE 7" USB tablet keyboard from Amazon ($9.90 shipped Prime).

I tried one other on Amazon that looks the same, but only the HDE brand one works (the other gives an error about power consumption). It works well in HC, will report back on ICS once the OTA update comes around.

Sweet bluetooth keyboard folio case, specially made for tab plus!

Just got this little bad boy from hong kong.

4.5 starts out of 5 for me. There seems to be a few sellers. It was designed for our device.

It has back, home, and recent apps keys. long press key, honeycomb/ICS pocket tab settings button! brightness, volume, skip track, voice search, arrows will navigate anywhere on the device. App drawer button. lock/wake power button, has a phone button, which is the only one I havent quite figured out yet. It also has a dedicated internet and email button which worked flawlessly.
I paid $30 including shipping and it arrived in about a week.
Case is nice too. Landscape kickstand, leather portfolio case, with camera cutout, fits really snug. I love it. Keyboard is held firmly in place by velcro. Has auto sleep feature after 15 minutes of no activity.
This thing is is really a treat.

I bought this Logitech bluetooth keyboard at bensoutlet dot com for $14.99 and free shipping. Do a search for "logitech bluetooth keyboard". I'd post a link but I'm too new. Or here's a TinyUrl that you can at least copy and remove the slashes/dot stuff

Connected right away. Granted, it was made for the 10" Galaxy Tab to snap into it as a "cover" but it still works for the Tab 7 Plus. I also have the Samsung OEM keyboard that works nicely.

This one is on sale for $14.95 US today.
