Bluetooth Keyboard (read on)

[Hardcore73]

I bought a webtop kit for my new Atrix (still waiting for it to ship from ATT, bought 2 days ago) and it includes a bluetooth keyboard and mouse.

I synced up my keyboard to my Xoom, OMG what an amazing piece of hardware now. You have no idea what possibilities that alone has opened up.

My Xoom is now used as my laptop replacement.

If someone can figure out how to use a mouse on the Xoom, everything else will be extinct!

Happy Xooming!

I got the Keyboard verizon sells and it is nice and thin. I find I don't use it as much when I am home, but at work I think I would use it more. So tomorrow I will bring it in.

I know I could find this out simply by going into the store, but is their BT keyboard worth the money? Is it a hard keyboard or one of those rollup ones? I'm considering getting one on my way home this evening

Hard keyboard

It is worth every penny. Going to return my dock for the high definition dock so I can have hdmi from the station to a big screen TV.

Over lunch tomorrow, Im going to pick one up for use while Im at work. This thing just keeps getting more and more awsome!

So not to bring up an old thread, but has anyone been able to use a mouse with their Xoom? Not a huge deal, but would certainly be amazing. I just bought the BT keyboard yesterday, and love it even more!!!

I'm interested in a 'mouse' app too. My co-worker is running Citrix desktop on his iPad with his iTouch as a mouse, and I would love to trump his config with my XOOM.

i dont think the xoom supports mouse input yet. maybe a future update or app will allow it.

This is what I wanted to hear I have the keyboard sitting at my house.

Ya i would think you would need a program to add the cursor. And it would either have to be program specific or like some mentioned added in from google. Like with other touch screen computers were the cursor follows your finger when you are using it. You don't have a cursor so you would not know what you are selecting...

In response about apple keyboard, yes it works. It works great but you do not ave all of the custums keys working. The music player keys on the apple do work. I have had the Xoom a week and any keyboard makes this thing nice.

This works, but the DELETE key sometimes acts as DELETE, sometimes as BACKSPACE. I found it to be inconsistent so I bought the MOTOROLA keyboard.

i think it is a feature needed in honeycomb so its on google to get it for us. I know froyo/gingerbread allows bt mouse input.

also will usb keyboards work? (if i get an adapter from usb to micro usb)
