After trouble pairing the keyboard connects always automatically with your tablet as soon as it is turned on. At the same time the on-screen keyboard is hidden. Very good!
The Google Nexus 7 fits easily into the receiving groove, stable, however, only in landscape mode. In portrait mode, the entire construction at the slightest touch tilts backwards. Minuspukt. Here would be a little more weight on the keyboard are needed, eg., In the form of a larger and therefore heavier batteries, which would also make it possible even more running time. The adjustable hinge for angle adjustment remained hidden to me, however, to this day. There is only one point of view, the person, however, sufficient to me.
The keyboard layout corresponds to a German PC keyboard with restrictions:
- Most unusual characters are placed atypically over the number keys (top row) and agree in many cases does not match the printed characters and the control keyboard shortcuts
- The use of the control keys CTRL, ALT, SHIFT for special characters is not stringent.
- @ Is incorrectly printed for ALT + L, in reality is @ ALT + Q. If you know it, good, if not the e-mail delivery impossible.
- The poor guide in English is no evidence of any configuration options for the keyboard layout in Android.
- However, it should be an app (External Keyboard Helper), with which you can customize the layout, external keyboards. Price approx 2.50. I have not yet tested.
Loading the keyboard via an external charger and micro USB, compatible with the Nexus, so that only a charging cable and a charger you have to carry while traveling. Genial would, of course, if the Nexus would equal loaded as soon as you connect it to the keyboard. If you use the keyboard as a dock, you have to reposition to charge both devices.
Genial is the ability to use the keyboard as a protective cover for the Nexus. One simply clicks the tablet with the screen first, into the retaining clips of the keyboard and has an all around protected and very compact mini notebook that fits in every handbag and jacket pocket and allows fast typing. Still do so, the bottom of the keyboard the back of the Nexus, so the clip mode gives the impression of a harmonious unit or a folded fictitious Nexus Ultrabooks. Great feature. Here fist fits the eye.
--------------------------------
Positives:
- Easy to use keypad
- Stable in landscape mode
- Broadly compatible German QWERTZ keyboard
- Innovative by the clip function of protection and transport for the Tablet
Negatives:
- Availability of special characters and @ confusing or wrong
- Poor stability in portrait orientation
- Deteriorating Instructions
- Battery obviously not interchangeable because no screws on the housing
Conclusion:
For prolific writer on the road and on-screen keyboard haters a real relief, because of the compactness and the clip function. If, however use special characters as they appear on the keys of the keyboard, you need a paid app.
A broadly successful, albeit in need of improvement details worthy product for the price but OK.
