robox45 · Nov 24, 2012

hey. i was looking for keyboards in ebay when i saw this one. its like a case and a stand. there wasn't any reviews about this keyboard, so im the first, to make it

it cost for me 24$, and it came to me (in Latvia) about 2.5 weeks. i made a video and took some pics.

im really sorry for my bad english, at least i tried

if you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Its made of plastic, not from aluminium, as they whrite on ebay, but thats a good thing, bcoz plastic will not scrash your device.

the post on ebay where i bought my keyboard it isn't there anymore, but you can find them here: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_sac...=15&_clu=2&_fcid=115&_localstpos&_stpos&gbr=1

That looks nice! Thanks for the pictures.

I found the product on Amazon for anyone interested: http://www.amazon.com/MiniSuit-Nexus-Bluetooth-Keyboard-Rubberized/dp/B009WSCW4S.

PLASTIC Keyboard

I think it's important to point out the keyboard is not made from aluminium, it is plastic.

I have been looking for a keyboard and case that I like and that one looks awesome and it doesn't cost a lot. Thanks for the link.

where? near to origo or something like that(address)? also what was the price?

Ken_P · Nov 26, 2012

How does the keyboard compare to typing on a regular size one? I would gladly grab this as long as the typing isn't too cramped.

it isnt as easy as typing on a reguler keyboard, at first its a little hard, but after a while you will get used to it. still, its better than typing on a touchscreen

Thanks! Works like a charm

On the same page as that keyboard in the what other people did section is the same keyboard (look for exact) for 11 less if you have Prime and use the free shipping option (21.95 vs. 29.75 + 2.95 shipping)

If I felt I had any need for a keyboard I'd get one for 22. Or if I hadn't already spent 10 on a case figuring I might not use it often but it'd be handy occasionally.

BestDealUSA on Amazon has it for $19.06 plus 50 cents shipping in the US. Figured it'd take a month coming from China but it shipped on the second day from NJ.

I don't think this one has the magnet. The screen doesn't shut off, even when it's closed.

Can someone please confirm that the auto capitalize, punctuation, and word correction and prediction do NOT work with this keyboard on a N7?
The video in the op does seem to show capitalizing the first word and word prediction.

I have been through all my input settings and the section for external device has all those settings ticked but nothing seems to work. I've tested typing in gmail, evernote and chrome, but it just stays as lower case (unless caps is selected) and words dont get corrected or any suggestions.

Regards
Dave

Perhaps completely spurious but on another device I had (TF101) how an external keyboard worked changed depending on which soft keyboard (or should I say on screen) was chosen. You needed to have the Asus keyboard chosen to get those features to work properly. Perhaps the Nexus is the same way and needs the default keyboard as the input device to get those features. I know the latest SwiftKey keyboard has a preference for dealing with what to do when an external keyboard is attached which makes me feel that there's some sort of voodoo involved when using an external keyboard.

I could swear there have been a couple of times when I've paired the tablet to the keyboard I've seen a very brief message that says something to the affect of "to enable (those things your mentioned above) press... {?} key combination", but before I can focus on the message it disappears.

It looks pretty cool, I think I'll get one. For that price it's a steal, and it will be great for taking notes in classes and meetings.

is this cramped like a netbook. and are the keys located as on a regular keyboard. The usb keyboard I bought for my nexus had keys on weird places.

Small netbooks have 8 or 9 inch screens and I've only seen 10" ones the last year or so. They'd all have bigger keyboards than something the size of the Nexus 7. The Nexus is about 1.25" less in width compared to just the keyboard on my 9" Dell hackintosh.
