Recommend a keyboard? (Nova Pro)

kg6gfq · 12-15-2020, 10:58 PM

Anyone have a keyboard recommendation for Onyx Boox devices, especially the Nova Pro?

I have tried a couple of ZaggKeys models and had severe problems with keystrokes missing or repeating (e.g. "msssingg oor epeaating") on the Nova Pro and other Android devices even though it works fine with my laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad running Linux).

What bluetooth keyboards have you used that work well on your Boox?

(Or, come to think of it, has anyone checked whether you can plug a USB keyboard in with a USB-C adapter?)

Thanks!

I have a "Jelly Comb" Bluetooth and USB folding keyboard and touchpad. Works with my Boox Note 2. Bought from Amazon

I recommend the Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet 2 Bluetooth keyboard EBK-209A. Has a slot in the top to put your eReader/Tablet in. Have used with previous Onyx devices, other tablets, and my current Note2. Works a charm, great Lenovo keys and you even have a mouse pointer to play with. No missed keystrokes or any issues. Lots of ex corporate devices knocking around on eBay for about $20 for a perfect one, I think they stopped making them some time ago but widely available.

I use a the bluetooth keyboard that I got with a cover for a Teclast 10" Tablet. Works fine. No problems.
As it is Bluetooth, it will depend heavily on the amount of *noise* due to other gadgets and even WiFi's. Living in an apartment complex with 20+ WiFi signals and 8+ BT signals, I found that the range/connection of BT devices can be rather spotty. (Mostly with hearing aid streaming gadgets, though.)
