i purchased a otg cable for my tablet nexus 7. i have discovered i can use it to connect a physical keyboard and so i am able to use actually. i was really surprised this is really aa nice purchase. before i was thinking of buying a keyboard for my nexus 7. but now i don't need to. i just the keyboard i use on my computer and use on my tablet as well. and the most wonderful think is that i don't have to type on small physical keyboard for tablet. i am still using the regular size physical keyboard so i am enjoying the features of the touch screen of the tablet and the external keyboard. this is really awesome for me i am going to tell my brother to buy a usb cable himself. he is canada right now while i am in the philippines.

good find! it's easier to type in a physical and actual size keyboard than in the tablet. how much does it cost and where can i find some?

you can find some in amazon actually. there are some cheap price and there are some more expensive. just choose the cheaper one. i think it would still be good one. but i have bought in another website. but i just can't recommend where i bought it not unless you are from asia also.

try focalprice where i bought it. it delivers worldwide unlike amazon. but if you buy anything from that site, use paypal. so if they have not given you the right product or have not given any product you can ask for charge back in paypal. i buy with cautions on that site.

That is amazing for you. In contrary to me, I am tired using the physical keyboard on my computer. Right now I am using my s3 in mylotting, much more relaxing to me because I just turn on the wifi then after that I can go mylotting anywhere. Sometimes I just sit back on the couch or aometimes I just lay on my bed. Since I am doing this, I am more motivated on doing mylotting. Well we are different individuals and has different preferences. Hehe. But so happy for you that you are enjoying it!

it is tiring to type using physical keyboard. i just do that when i am in mylot but when i post in other forums, i usually use the touch screen keyboard . i just want to post faster here in mylot. so most of the time i am still using the touchscreen keyboard of the tablet
when i made few post here my fingers felt so tired already. so i still love touchscreen keyboard more.

I find the touch screen keyboard not as nice as a physical keyboard, myself. You don't get the same feedback that you do from a physical keyboard. Still, the touchscreen is pretty handy.

yeah i think a lot of gadgets don't have a good touchscreen keyboard. sometimes the response time is very slow. so it is better to use the real keyboard most of the time if you want to work fast.

i like it when technology makes things easy for us. the gadgets are supposed to help us to perform better and well. what i do not like at time is when gadgets have incompatible with other necessary gadgets. that's why i really like it when i see gadgets which are compatible with each other and from there we can do so much with them.

I don't use the keyboard on the latptop, as I bought a usb keyboard, that i can attach to it, and put it on my lap while I am typing in here and elsewhere. I find it much easier, as the keyboards on the laptops, are hard to use as they are so small. I just love the logitech keyboard that i have attached to the computer by way of the usb. I can type fairly fast on it, and it also has the ten key, so if I need that for anything, I can use it. Using a usb keyboard keeps the keyboard nice on the laptop, as I have had other laptops, where the lettering would come off on the keys. I don't have that to worry about with the usb keyboard, as it will last through keystroke after keystroke. Technology is really grand, but hard to keep up with sometimes. Take care, and have a very good day.

Indeed , a USB keyboard is what I am using also. The laptop keyboard is so hard to use. You can't work fast enough. It slows me down so much when I am typing. It is not enjoyable to use the laptop keyboard. Butt when I use the USB keyboard, it feels I am just having fun like I am just playing while typing.

It's awesome you made a good decision in your purchase. A physical keyboard is easier to use which is why I spend nmost time on my laptop but using my tablet is nice too

Having a big keyboard and a small screen is nice. Because I can bring my tablet anywhere. It is very handy. The tablet boot up so fast. In just a minute it is already on. And there is no need to turn off the tablet anyway, So for just browsing the internet , using tablet and big USB keyboard is awesome combination.

The new Blackberry 10 came out this week, to somewhat mixed reviews.The market was unimpressed, with RIMM (soon to be BBRY) falling 12% on the day of the introduction.The NYT’s David Pogue liked it; WSJ’s Walter Mossberg was more circumspect.But the big surprise to me was the lack of a physical keyboard. I thought for sure they would include one.
