Cover including usb keyboard for Max 3 or note 2
Hi all,
I just bought a Max 3, and I am still hesitating between the Max and the Note 2. I choose the Max because of the secondary monitor option, but at the moment it's quite disapointing (show up black and white, and I can't manage to find a good resolution apparently). I want to build a situation where I can use a keyboard to work and type on my e-ink device. Ideally, I would love to find a cover which incluse a good keyboard, somehing like this : https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Slim.../dp/B07PHVY3XM I can't find anything where the Max 3 will fit (so 13.3 inch). For the note, apparently it's much easy to find, like something like this; https://www.amazon.com/Navitech-Keyb...6572721&sr=8-4 Any advice ? Do you guys know a good alternative ? Ideally, using the micro usb c would be perfect for me, in landscape mode. Thanks ! |

Maybe someone is running into the same problem, so here are my conclusion after extensive search on the internet.
For the Max 3, I couldn't find a cover + keyboard. I think the best choice would be to only get a fix keyboard, and I would suggest this one: https://www.logitech.com/en-us/produ...oard?crid=1221 For the Note 2, I think that this next one would be a pretty good choice: https://www.logitech.com/nl-nl/produ...case?crid=1221 If any of you knows a better solution (or an alternative solution, or even feedback on the solutions mentioned above), your feedback would be very much appreciated Based on this I will probably give the Max 3 back and take the Note 2, as portability is kind of important for me. ps: by the way, apparently bluetooth is much easier to find that usb type C, and do not use too much power, so I think getting a bluetooth keyboard is a better way to go than trying to find a usb keyboard. That's why I changed a bit my search. Last edited by Jpsi; 12-19-2019 at 01:55 AM. |

Ah thanks !
I see that they both use bluetooth 3.0 protocols. Can you confirm that bluetooth 3.0 is working with the bluetooth 4.1 of the Onyx Boox Max 3 (and/or Note 2, as they have the same BT procotol) ? Has anyone ever tried to use a iPad keyboard for the Onyx Boox (Android) ? The vendors claim that this will not work, but if anyone who tried can confirm I would be glad. |

I ordered this Keyboard
https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B01...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 also got the MS wedge used from classifieds site, as it was cheap and it has a cover which can be used as a stand. I am using MS Surface typecover for my PC and I hope it has a similar quality. Still waiting both to be delivered (Holiday season) |

Using the touchpad will not be a pleasure on a slow screen - the cursor does not slide, it jumps.
I use the pen |

Bluetooth Keyboard solution I found
Hi all,
Here are a couple of pictures I took before I returned the device for a more portable version. I found the Logitech K780 fantastic with the device, so maybe this setup can be also interesting for somebody: And here is how it fits in landscape mode. I also used it in portrait mode without any problem, it couldn't really fall even on my laps: Hope this can help someone someday. Just to be clear, it's a bluetooth keyboard, so not a usb as the name of the first post suggest. It's a very nice setup if you are look at a e-ink typing device that can connect to the web and sync every documents. Last edited by Jpsi; 01-22-2020 at 03:47 PM. |

Pfff, double post somehow, and still the images are missing.
Let me try the last one last time, and sorry about the first 2 posts, I can't change them apparently now. In attachement. |

How is the delay when typing on the Max 3? Is it actually usable?
