Bluetooth Keyboard Support!!!! Works flawlessly

[ap3604]

I just wanted to let you guys know about this option.

I saw in the market an app called blueinput which is a bluetooth keyboard driver.

Seems like it works so far but if anyone can try it out as well I would appreciate it.

How is the actual keyboard input?

Is it as fast as typing on a regular computer? Or is there any lag? Also, what application do you take notes in?

Yeah, I dont have any lag like I did with KeyPro... I take notes in "NoteEverything" and "Documents to Go" and it works perfectly

Awesome! I'm seriously considering this for note taking then.....


The real question is how ridiculous it looks typing on! :P

On the basis of AP3604 recommendations, I gave up on my iGO Stowaway and purchased a Palm 3245WW via eBAY £39.99 here in the UK.

My excitement diminished somewhat, after the keyboard was recognised and I started typing in Evernote, only to discover that none of the punctuation works.

The only keys that work are the letter keys, return, backspace, space, tab.

So I must be doing something wrong here as AP3604 says that "The BlueInput keyboard driver works flawlessly for me"

Can you give me some advice on how you got this BlueInput driver to work flawlessly with this keyboard?

I bought a Palm 3245ww keyboard based on the recommendation as well, and installed BlueInput.

It's useless. Some of the keys work, but no punctuation does: , . ; : , " < > ? /
It misses keys that I type, and sometimes inserts letters that I haven't typed. There's no keyboard repeat, so if I want to backspace, I have to press it continually for every letter I want to remove, instead of holding it down.

I'd really like to say that it works, but it doesn't. Please improve support for the Palm 3245ww bluetooth keyboard, teksoft.

Thank you

There are a number of us on this forum who need your help to get the Palm keyboard to work flawlessly.

Can you help us please?

I would love to see pics of you using this,

I tried BlueInput but it didn't work for me. It claims to work with all kinds of wireless keyboards, but it never found any I tried it with. So far no word from the developer either.

Works very well with (rooted) N1 and * Stowaway Ultra-Slim Keyboards.
You have native HID support in Cyanogen 6.0 and above.
You can add BlueKeyboard (search market) on other versions. I still use BlueKeyboard with Cyanogen 6 since it reconnects the keyboard faster (or so it seems to me).
Attached is a key layout file I made which you may find useful (instructions inside) - you can easily add your own customizations (pretty well documented). It's tweaked for lanscape mode (arrows working accordingly) - couldn't yet find a way to auto adjust to screen orientation. You can easily change it to work in portrait (again - follow comments in the attached qwerty.kl file).
Consider removing comments if you want to keep the file more compact (no big deal).

Enjoy
