I recently added dosbox to my phone so i could play an old dos game: wasteland. It's an RPG so speed is not of the essence, as with first player shooter games.

The onscreen keyboard that is part of dosbox, covers the game. Can I buy a bluetooth keyboard and use it with my phone? I do understand that a phone is supposed to be portable and with a physical external keyboard it's not, but I just want to see if it's even possible.

In looking at keyboards online, they all have a USB dongle that receives the bluetooth signal. Can I get one that connects to the phone directly as there is no USB port?

There are ones specifically made for mobile devices, but any normal bluetooth keyboard should work (as the dongle is just a bluetooth radio with a USB interface)
