    im looking for a full size (like my pc) keyboard which i can use with my android tablet and phone. have found a couple via good ol` google but they cost a small fortune.

    anyone know where i might find a good`n? for a Decent price <£40 not massively bothered about a numpad but im writing large docs and cant really afford a new laptop atm.:waah:

    thanks in advance.

    Have a look at KBT Pro. Yes it is much more cost than £40 but its a very high quality. I don't know of anything cheaper thats rated to work with everything.

    No use what so ever mate, First, i could buy a bleedin laptop for the price of that thing. Second it US based (my fault should have specified i want a UK keyboard) and lastly (and least-ly) it looks like a keyboard you buy from asda (wal-mart) for 5.99.

    honestly cant image anyone wanting to spend that on a keyboard that looks like that, no offence :D

    didnt mean it to sound harsh but, i did say in my initial post that i couldnt afford a new laptop and that keyboard alone is $180 for which is actually twice the amount i would pay for a laptop to do the same thing and you gotta admit the things fugly. i have used a US keyboard before and it was confusing swapping between UK and US keyboards.

    im not spotting the lack of knowledge? suspect easily astounded.

    You said you were writing large documents, and therefore will want a good keyboard. Personally if that was my use I would put typing over looks.

    You ever used a mechanical keyboard mate? Come to my house in Wigan and try my Poker with MX blues. :D

    At Scan, you can get a Cm Storm mechanical keyboard for just over £50 if that's more reasonable. Do some research on mechanical boards, you'll thank us.


    Edit: Ignore this entire post. I didn't notice the bluetooth part.

    Please excuse my quick jump to criticism.

    Within your price range I think I would go with either Apple's offerings or one of Logitech's thin keyboards which I think can be had for under £50! :)

    For a mobile bluetooth keyboard, I recommend the logitech tablet keyboard. It lasts for ages on battery, is light and comes with a case that doubles as a stand.

    can honestly say i have no idea on that one, iv just written about 3000 words on a £5 keyboard and i cant really see myself spending more than that anytime soon. what exactly makes these mechanical keyboards so good?

    thanks ill take a look at the logitech stuff, wont buy apple on principle. :D
