Bluetooth tablet keyboard
-
Mrs. RaGE asked me to buy her a keyboard for her tablet - Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. She is using it as a diary and writes a lot, and the virtual keyboard is definitely uncomfortable for that. So here I go and look for one decent solution, and: - Shock 1 : Lots of keyboards for iPads, not much for Android. - Shock 2 : Any (decent) keyboard I have found would cost at least 79€, which is about 1/2 the price of the tablet :omg: So, maybe one of you have gone the path before, and found something reliable and not too expensive ?

Galaxy Tab has a microUSB. microUSB to USB converters exist, get one they're dirt cheap (microUSB and USB are same except for the form factor). Then plug-in a standard usb keyboard, probably from your desktop (if you've got one). Easy peasy :laugh:

You need a converter from the Samsung 30 pin to a standard USB http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab-accessories/EPL-1PL0BEGSTA[^] $20 is a it steep but ebay will probably have it cheaper in fact keyboard case and converter http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/For-Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-2-Note-10-1-P5100-N8010-USB-Keyboard-Leather-Case-Adapter-/130847509259?pt=UK_iPad_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item1e771e8b0b[^]

I might have one already. I bought the tablet on ebay, and it came with a box of not so useful accessories, or so I thought. I'll check tonight. I was actually so focused on Bluetooth that I did not think about USB.
