[Q] Bluetooth Keyboard Choices - Genius or Sony

[f810]

Hi,

I am looking for a bluetooth keyboard that could bring along with me on the road in case I need to work out of office. Usually I'll need to use native email client, remote access through RDP for general OA tasks.

Anyone tried any of the bluebooth keyboards below, and could share with me about the user experience?

Genius LuxePad A9000

Sony Tablet S Bluetooth Keyboard

Thanks

Very interesting. I also need a bluetooth keyboard for my galaxy tab 7300.

I have a question, does these keyboards support multi-language support?

What layout uses the bluetooth keyboard, its own, or system?

The Samsung input method seems to "fix" some of the mappings. For example it allows the swedish ÅÄÖ to be typed on a swedish bluetooth (or USB) keyboard but not everything is mapped correctly. Also the CTRL and ALT keys are not working for me when the Samsung Input method is used.

I do not know if it works better or worse on other layouts but switching input method to "Android Keyboard" will make it use Standard US layout and makes CTRL and ALT work again.

I've written apps that overrides the US layout for several non-US layouts and that is what I use with my Swedish/Finnish bluetooth keyboard (requires a rooted device).

I want to use AnySoftKeyboard layout with Lithuanian characters such as ĄČĘĖĮŠŲŪŽ, because it is most confortable to use.

So I'm wondering if it work with bluetooth, USB keyboards.

kallt_kaffe: I will buy your app if it would be for lithuanian language

Send me a photo of a standard Lithuanian keyboard where all keys can be seen and I'll see what I can do.

This is LT layout that I'm using on PC and wish to have on my tab. I appreciate your effort.

I need more info than that. Like for example what characters are used when SHIFT is pressed and when ALT-GR is pressed.

I found this http://qnx.projektas.lt/en_ltkbd.html

I suppose it it the top one you want? Where numbers are available when holding down the ALT button. Perhaps I can add both variants.

I want this layout "lt_LT_numeric – Lithuanian numeric keyboard", because it is most commonly used.

"The most widely used layout at the moment. Lithuanian letters occupy and replace numbers in upper row of keyboard. Use of Alt Gr key often eliminates need switch between layouts."

Best from Lithuania, I will spread the word.

p.s. this weekend I was visiting Stockholm on a day trip

A little follow up on this thread. The old app that required root is now obsolete and has been replaced with an app that does not require root and comes with over 30 different predefined layouts out-of-the-box. It is also possible to create a whole layout from scratch or modify one of the predefined ones.
