I'd like to purchase a full size (or perhaps a foldable) BT keyboard for my Nexus 7.

Is google planning on releasing any official keyboards?

FYI - i go the foldable Freedom Pro BT keyboard to work, but did need the drivers from Freedom.

This looked like a good keyboard till I read this part of the first review:

Amazon.com: Freedom Pro Bluetooth Keyboard: Computers & Accessories

As a systems administrator, programmer, and MUD/MUCK player, there is a significant difference between an ASCII quote and double quote and the Unicode quotes that this keyboard sends. This keyboard is therefore completely and utterly useless to me because I cannot quote items in a command line when SSH'd into a box, I cannot quote strings in a bit of programming code, and when I'm connected to a MUD or MUCK, my quotes and double quotes get dropped entirely since the servers expect and can handle only ASCII characters.

Anyone know if this is fixed; or another good keyboard that doesn't have this problem? I spend my life in a shell; this would be a deal breaker for me as well.

is anyone getting a portable BT keyboard for nexus 7? I was thinking of getting a case that also has keyboard but the thought was very unappealing.

Its my first time looking for a bluetooth keyboard for my tablet so i have no idea which companies are good/bad at making those.

The Logitech Bluetooth keyboard has the best reviews I have seen for Androids haven't heard anything about the Nexus 7 in particular. I know one big thing about the Logitech is the backspace button works where on most others it acts as delete not backspace.

I have the Logitech Keyboard that I was using with the Xoom. It works just fine with the nexus 7

Found this lastnite lurking Amazon. Very happy since it uses AA batteries and just the right size for the Nexus7.

I have been using the Logitech Tablet Keyboard on my Nexus 7 and it is awesome. The backspace is backspace unless you hit FN then delete, the arrow keys essentially let you use the tablet like a laptop. I have TabeltTalk on at work (send, receive, sync text messages on tablet via WiFi or Bluetooth best ever), and us my Logitech keyboard on that all day long.

I found, they claim it is specifically for the nexus 7..

Has anyone tried the Amazon Basics keyboard?

This keyboard case appears to be identical to the Poetic keyboard case and the poetic is significantly less. I just got the Poetic and its OK...

Everything works...quality is OK so far... not outstanding but OK...pairs fine with nexus and all keys work but honestly the tiny keyboard while fully functional is hard to use with medium size hands...large hands need not apply.

If I had it to do over I would go with a folding Bluetooth keyboard a simple case stand and some kind of pouch to carry everything in together...

Based on the images, it seems to only work best while on a flat surface. Can't see someone trying to use it in their lap.

I like the looks of this one. But I am wondering if this is necessary considering how small the Nexus is. I think that I would do just fine thumb typing. I've if the things that I found as an inconvenience with my iPad was having it in a keyboard case and then having to continually take it out to use it for other things.

I bought a Motorola KZ500 BT keyboard on Woot for $35. It has Android specific buttons, looks and works great. Has a hide-a-way trackpad even.

don't think they'll release an official one, since not many people would use keyboard cases on a 7" device. I have this $9 case and it works fine for me bc I don't have enormous hands. my typing accuracy is pretty decent considering, esp. when I type faster. you have to mod it though, to make it more stable. I removed the junky metal prongs and superglued a TPU case on. Was a little difficult to put the N7 in and out of the TPU case, but over time it stretched out so it pops out just fine. Very secure, but a little bulky (though, it's heavily padded so drops won't cause damage).

since I don't like to carry more bulk than necessary, I haven't gotten a separate bluetooth keyboard. I hope technology for thin/flexible keyboards improves, because all the ones on amazon have terrible reviews.

don't think they'll release an official one, since not many people would use keyboards on a 7" device--and you wouldn't really need an N7-specific keyboard unless it was a keyboard case. someone recommended this case in a separate forum, but it doesn't have any user reviews or pics, and the keyboard is probably no more than 8"x3".

since I don't like to carry more bulk than necessary, I haven't gotten a separate bluetooth keyboard. I hope technology for thin/flexible keyboards improves, because all the ones on amazon have terrible reviews.
