I want to connect a external keyboard in the mini usb port to my HP8G2 1411 but I can not find anywhere to get the device to recognise the keyboard - all and any help most welcome

You might also want to ask this in the Tablet section.
Android Tablets (e.g. HP Slate 7) - HP Support Forum

    I need to reprogram the delete and enter key to the left side of a external keyboard for the ipad mini. I don't need the caps/lock or ctrl key. Due to a brain injury my daughter can only use her left hand to type. She also uses a text to speech app to verbalize all of her needs since her speech isn't intelligible any longer either. And her vision was significantly affected also, so the keyboard has to be mounted about 6 inches from her face. So to reach across the keyboard with her left hand to the right side delete and enter button is physically difficult and causes typing errors, which cause people to not understand what shes trying to say.
    The best keyboard so far is the Zagg folio mini. I just had to make stickers to enlarge the letters on the key buttons.
    Does anyone know how I can reprogram these two keys? Or where I can buy a wireless mini keyboard for Ipad made for lefthanders with these two functions on the left side. I have searched for days and days. It's sooooo important to me that she be able to contribute her voice again. Imagine if you got in a car accident and couldn't speak clearly any longer, but understood everything still. Thanks for any help and suggestions you all take the time to share with me. I really appreciate the kindness of strangers to help me help my daughter.

    You cannot.

  • What's a good external keyboard for MBP

    Given that the MBP keyboard is so inadequate and Apple is seemingly too stubborn to give us a good one, an external keyboard is mandatory. However, I'm not sure what's good in the Apple world. There is, of course, the Apple keyboards and I'm going to take a look, but there are also some from Logitech and others. Does anyone have any suggestions on good ones? I purchased the iHome IH-K236LS, but just looking at it and feeling it and seeing that it requires a power cord is not making me feel like it's a good purchase. Plus the mouse feels incredibly cheap. Like something from a kids toy. And it requires two of the three USB ports (but does add two on the keyboard). Anyway, I'm thinking I'd better check into other possibilities, so any suggestions would be appreciated.

    People have such different views of what makes a "good" keyboard, GTGeek, that it is almost impossible to make suggestions without getting a better idea of what your requirements are.
    I grew up using manual typrewiters (Olivetti Lettera 32's etc), migrated to IBM and Brother electrics, and then nearly 30 years of different computer and data terminal keyboards.
    In the early years, perhaps not surprisingly, the closer a computer got to approximating that of an IBM golfball the happier I was. Few computer keyboards seemed to have the "feel" or travel that I was used to. Despite this i gradually found I adapted to almost all of them.
    I still have many of my older computers and I often get a bit of a shock when I use them these days! My favourite in days gone by on a portable was on the NEC8021a, but today when I use it the keys seem too sculpted and to have too much travel (both features I once really liked about it!)
    The keyboards on modern MBPs , of course, are at the opposite extreme - flat keys and little travel. The same goes for Apple's own current external keyboards. I now use them all the time, but if you don't like the keyboard on a current MBP I doubt you will want to yourself. The feel is very similar.
    The older white Apple Bluetooth keyboards had more travel , and more sculpting and a nice feeling of "solidity", but can only be found second hand these days.
    I personally like the Apple Pro wired keyboards in days gone by, but, as with the white bluetooth they are now history.
    I have two Logitech wireless and and a Microsoft USB keyboard tucked away in the draw (together with just about every keyboard Apple have ever made) . The Logitech and MS ones feel very "plasticky" compared to Apple offerings, but, as I said, I have simply adapted to the latter over time. You might find them fine if that is what you are used to.
    On Mac notebooks my favourites in the past were those on the PB1400, the PB 12 and the earlier models of the MBP, but I've adapted to the current MBP ones now as well.
    All of which adds up to the fact that the only way to decide something like this is to test them yourself, and, perhaps, to be prepared for a period of adjustment whatever you get before you can really judge it. Familiarity breeds contempt, they say, but in the case of keyboards it has always seemed quite the opposite to me. What you have been using most in recent times always seems to be the best after a while!

  • External keyboard for iPhone

    I have a first generation iPhone - not an iPhone 3G.
    Are there any available external keyboards available for the iPhone? I have a Palm and a Dell Axim PDA, and I have foldable keyboards that I can use with those devices.
    When will there be an external keyboard available for the iPhone?
    Jeff

    Not that I know of but what about this ?

  • How to set shortcuts for external keyboard for MacBook Pro?

    I attached a wired external keyboard (Apple aluminum) to my MacBook Pro. Several of the function keys are preprogrammed, and several are open. I want to program one of the open function keys to emulate the F11 key on the internal keyboard, the one that moves all open windows out of the way to show the desktop. The keyboard shortcuts tab in System Preferences only controls the internal keyboard.
    Does anyone know a way to do this?

    Bump. Searching for a solution to the same problem.

  • External keyboard for Palm Centro

    I've read a few reviews on Amazon on the Palm wireless keyboards (Palm 3245WW) saying they don't work as advertised and that Palm no longer makes them/supports them and was totally not helpful in resolving any of the issues. Does anyone know of an external keyboard that will work with the Centro? Or new drivers that resolve these problems? IR, Bluetooth, wired....I don't care. My wife has the phone and texts a lot and the phone keyboard is extremely painful for her to use for long periods of time.
    Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

    Hi, and welcome to the Palm Support Community.
    Everywhere you go, even here, you'll find people who have problems for one reason or another (user error, wrong driver, other third-party software incompatibilities, actual hardware issues) pairing the two devices.  But that particular keyboard is compatible with the Centro.  Searching on the Forums here will yield threads evidencing the fact that users have successfully paired the keyboard with their Centro.
    Just realize that the Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard is no longer a current Palm model.  Here is the device's support page where you can download the latest driver, etc.:

  • Using iPhone as external Keyboard for iPad?

    I'm not a developer- but if I was this would be the Ap I would develop.
    Folks are already used to using their iPhone keyboard.
    Hit me back if anyone has this.

    Not sure why you'd rather use your tiny iPhone keyboard over the nice big one on the ipad but there are at least a couple of iPhone apps that let it be the wireless keyboard for a Mac or Windows machine (over wifi). They probably won't work with the iPad, but I don't know. They all seem to cost something, so it wouldn't be free to find out.

  • External keyboard for iPhone 3G ?

    Does it exist ? Is there anay available in France ? I'm very interested in this device, since it allows fast key entry (I presently use a very old Qtek with an external -foldable- stowaway keyboard ; that's fully functional, though the GPRS internet browser is terribly slow...)
    Thanks for your help,
    Fabrice

    There is no Bluetooth keyboard that will work with the iPhone. That's Apple's fault -- the iPhone simply does not have the Bluetooth capabilities needed for keyboards (and Bluetooth stereo headphones as well). Apple's implementation of Bluetooth on the IPhone is shockingly out of date -- in this regard, as much as I love the iPhone -- it's a piece of antiquated hardware.
    It's baffling why Apple has not addressed this problem in the 3G iPhone, and its failure to do so seriously undermines it's claims to technological superiority. It also makes the iPhone a very unfriendly device for dealing with high volume email. I get more than 150 emails a day, many requiring well written, thoughtful responses, which the built-in touch keyboard makes impossible. So as much as I'd like to, I can't use my iPhone for handling email, even though it gets pushed to me from my company server. I'm afraid to say that it sits there on the iPhone, untouched.
    What is Apple thinking? Actually, regarding Bluetooth, I don't Apple is thinking at all. And don't get me started on A2DP for music -- another Bluetooth Apple failure. It's not on any iPod or iPhone. Why not? I can't think of any good reason -- it defies logic.

  • External keyboard for MBP

    Is anyone using an external USB keyboard with their MBP?
    What would you recommend? - thanks.

    I use the Apple Bluetooth wireless keyboard with mine, and it's a really really nice keyboard. Although it's a bit more expensive than just any old USB keyboard, I really am impressed with the performance and battery life of it (I've been using it steadily since late February for work (6-8 hours a day) and it just last week dropped to 4/5 bars for the battery.
    If you're really set on getting a USB keyboard, though, I really like my Logitech Elite keyboard (I've only used it on Windows and Linux though).

  • Will HP provide a BIOS with integrated Touch Keyboard for Tablets like Split x2 and Spectre x2?

    I'm wondering how useful a tablet may be, if you like to encrypt the drive but the BIOS has no integrated touch keyboard.
    Will the ODM Wistron provide an update for that problem or did we have to wait for HP?
    Any other solutions available? NFC-like authorization?
    I do not want to attach the keyboard each time to enter the PIN for Bitlocker.

    I remember a message, where someone said that if you use the UEFI mode with the HP Split 11 tablet together with Win8.1 / Bitlocker and the latest BIOS upgrade from HP, that Windows will display a pre-boot on-screen keyboard. I thought that this will also work with the Elitepad or that this tablet has a special HW-Encryption feature.

  • External keyboard for iPad 4 with colored keys for child with autism

    ...and any suggestions of very easy apps/programs for learning to type.  Most apps we find don't start easily enough or progress too quicky for fine motor challenges.

    No, if an app has it's own version of the keyboard then that version will only be available in that app - I havn't seen any Apple built-in keyboards where all keys are visible all of the time, probably because that would make the keyboard too big and/or the keys too small. You can leave feedback for Apple here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

  • External Keyboard for iPod

    I'm sure this has been asked, but I can't find anything more than "there is no keyboard."
    Can we expect Apple to either make a keyboard which works with the iPod touch, or allow someone else to create such a keyboard? I'd go out and spend $80 tomorrow on Apple's wireless keyboard if it worked with my iPod, but I understand it doesn't.
    I don't even care if it's a Bluetooth keyboard or one that simply plugs into your iPod (or vice versa).

    Over two years have passed since the iPhone/iPod touch with its on-screen touch keyboard were first unveiled, so I think if Apple were going to release a hardware keyboard they would've done by now. It seems clear that touch-screen is the way to go as far as Apple is concerned.
    Why do you need a physical keyboard? Most people find the touch keyboard fine once they've got used to it. It takes a little time to get up to speed on it.
    An external hardware keyboard is just another thing to carry around (and lose!) and kind of defeats the purpose of keeping the iPod touch small, thin and buttonless. It would be a bit inconvenient to have to carry around, and connect and disconnect a physical keyboard everytime you want to type something. You'd also need to rest the keyboard on something while using it, so no more handheld use of the iPod touch whilst out and about.

  • Can I use my ibook as the external keyboard for my Mac Mini?

    Using a firewire to connect the two units. Or do I need to buy a separate keyboard to use with the Mini?
    Mac Mini   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    It seems to me that while you CAN connect the mini to your iBook with FW (or ethernet) and run the mini from the iBook's keyboard and display, the performance of the combined system will be the poorest common factor between processor speed and data transfer speeds. In other words, while you will be able to run the mini and it's software, the combined iBook/mini system not going to perform all that well, and aside from possibly giving you access to software your iBook wouldn't be able to run (depending on what processor, speed and RAM it has), using a mini that way is typically not all that cost-effective.
    Keyboards are cheap (I bought a $29.95 wireless USB keyboard/mouse combo from WalMart to use with mine at home), and a display need not cost much at all if you don't already have one.

  • Nokia Lumia 710: external keyboard?

    Is there any way to use an external keyboard for the Lumia 710? I am a college student that doesn't really want to shell out for a new tablet and keyboard, and I know that the 710 has Microsoft Office on it, even if it is mobile. I know there is the whole bluetooth issue, but I was wondering if anyone has found anything compatible with it, like perhaps the Nokia SU-8W keyboard or even maybe a tablet keyboard using a USB-to-mini USB converter?

    My Lumia 710 had a virtual keyboard problem. Letters "T", "F", "C" in portarait mode and I could not touch the + sign to start a new SMS message. I could not touch the check mark, which is located about the same place where the + sing is on the screen. I went through all the updates through Zune program hooked up to the PC, but it didn't change anything. I concluded that it was the digitizer malfunctioning. I replaced the digitizer just now and it resolved all my touch problems. I hope this helps those with similar issues on their Lumia 710.
