Device: Onyx Note
I use the Anker7721 keyboard which works very well. It connects as soon as I turn it on, if the Onyx Note's bluetooth is turned on, it's quite solid and portable and cost only 32 euro including transport.
I also use the awesome External Keyboard Helper that allows me to realloc some keys or to enter special characters with key combination and eliminates the trouble with the appearance of the virtual keyboard that I heard some people complain).
For Typeing, I use iA Writer, which generates a .txt or markdown file that I convert in .docx on a computer with Typora. IA Writer allows me to insert footnotes in a document and is extremely simple, focusing only on the text. (about on the same level is Epsilon Notes )

Some applications I use on Onyx Notes:
- Swapps to access applications when the status bar is not available - it moves unexpectedly well and it takes me out of any mess;
- Rotation Control for typing in landscape mode;
- FX as Explorer (moves better than File Manager) - has the ability to transfer files via Share - bluetooth;
- For text editing I used WPS Office, OfficeSuite and AndrOpen Office but are more cumbersome than iA Writer. (WPS Office does not have the ability to enter footnotes);
- For reading I sometimes use Librera, Moon Reader, eReader Prestigio, although I generally use the built-in NeoReader application wich covers all document types;
- As a dictionary GoldenDict is by far the best;
- For virtual keyboard G-Board, ai-type or SwiftKey;
- For handwriting we wait for 2.0 firmware...It would be great to be able to use the Lecture Notes or Squid application, but I dare not hope too much...

This is my 4-month experience with Onyx Notes ...
Thank you for this tread.
