Keyboards for tablet?

For all those techno questions

Keyboards for tablet?

Postby Diflower » 29 Dec 2012, 15:20

Since our computer blew up, we bought a samsung galaxy tab2 10.1.
We both love it, and today I've ordered a case/stand for it, plus a stylus to make it a bit easier.
I really need a keyboard, this onscreen one is irritating me no end, but tbh having looked on amazon etc am none the wiser as to what to get.
Does anyone have one they can recommend - or warn me off?

Di, I think that I would go for the official Samsung keyboard/dock as found here: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/samsung-gala ... p30205.htm

Bit expensive, but it looks more substantial and robust than some of the remote options and a lot less bulky for when on the move.

I bought one of these keyboards from Amazon for my 7" tablet and was surprised how good it was
for the money :D



BRAND NEW USB A 2.0 female to Micro USB B male Adapter Cable WITH OTG FUNCTION
To get it to work properly i had to buy one of these (Suff put me wise on that)

It has got a stand and a stylus with it.

Thanks both :)

Lissie if this was a cheaper tablet, the sort I'd been thinking of getting, then that's what I'd probably go for.
But since, at the moment at least, this is all we've got, I may well get the samsung one.
It more or less turns this into a laptop, which we thought we'd buy but this tablet apparently has far fewer problems than the average laptop- and anyway, I fell in love with it :D

Di, if you put ECR-K14UWEGXEU into a search box there are a few places offering pre-orders of 3 to 5 days.

Not that bad considering the time of year.

ECR-K14UWEGXEU is the Samsung part number.

Di, try this: http://www.cleverboxes.com/p-190364-ekd ... medium=cpc

I went through the process, right up to payment, and it was showing as in stock (28 reduced to 27 with my prospective purchase :P ) so might just work.
