Personally, I like using the stock cover set at the "typing" angle and using the SwiftKey tablet keyboard. It eliminates the typing of the 3 and 8 on accident, like pon the stock keyboard.
Otherwise, I would just go for a blue tooth keyboard.
This was the nicest one I saw., and almost bought it.

I bought the Zagg Flex BT keyboard, which is still on sale for 50% off. It has a standard key layout and is very comfotable to type on. It has a case to protect it when not in use that can be used as a stand for your tablet. I did a brief review in accessories, which discusses Android function keys and has a photo. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2162886 Here's a link to the sale page, which has more info and a short video . http://www.zagg.com/accessories/zaggkeys-flex-tablet-keyboard-stand
I have the Microsoft Wedge Bluetooth keyboard, the cover is a nice hard but oddly flexible rubber like plastic that fills and supports the Note in both landscape and portrait mode. The keyboard is well built with a high quality finish and despite the keys sitting so close to each other that they actually touch it's surprisingly easy to write on. My only complaint is that when the tablet had been turned off for a while the connection is lost and sometimes I've had to reboot to reestablish a connection.

Just missed out on the deal, damn
the keyboard looked promising.
Thanks for the suggestion but $80 is a bit steep for me now
I am testing a MS Surface Pro 3 at the moment. What a great keyboard. I wish Samsung or anyone would create a Keyboard Touchpad combination. There is a lot to like about the Surface but I prefer the Note for Note taking. If it just had a slim keyboard with a trackpad I would never need my MacBook Air...
Just wishful thinking.

That would be cool, but the Surface 3 is a very different critter than the Note Pro... I really like the Logitech keyboard (alas, no touchpad ) and it has turned my NP 12.2 into a serious enough productivity tool for me to retire my laptop. If you haven't tried it, give it a shot, it might be enough to not miss the touchpad.

Doesn't the touchscreen eliminate the need for a touch pad?

Yes it does but with a keyboard attached it is more fluid to usa a touchpad while you are typing rather than reaching up to touch the screen. If this wasn't the case then we wouldn't see touchpads on 99% of all Windows 8 touch screen laptops/tablets as they would just skip the touchpad to make the keyboard a little more roomy.
Yeah, a good keyboard dock would do wonders for the productivity side of things. The Logitech one is probably the best, but it's still limited. Only one angle, bulky, adds noticable weight, etc. I liked the SP3 way better in that regards. I suppose you get what you pay for.
But if you stick with usual tablet functions (i.e. media consumption) and don't try to do any serious or heavy productivity tasks, the GNP 12 isn't bad at all.

I find it much more efficient to keep my hands in one spot. The SGN 12.2 with Hankok Office is very close to make this a true office device.
I was considering getting a keyboard case when i ordered the Note Pro, but then it arrived and i used it... the full size on screen keyboard in landscape mode works just as well as a physical keyboard..... im glad i didnt blow another $100 on a keyboard case
I know what you mean. I like the keyboard on the surface pro. Though I like the logitech keyboard for galaxy note. However I started to notice something. Never am out and about and think to my self I really need todo some serious typing where I need the keyboard. Every time I have come across a need for a keyboard I have been at a desk where I can setup keyboard/ mouse etc.
My point here is I have never felt the need to have a key board with me, if im out and need to jot something down, I write with the spen, or use the handwrite to text. Not once has that failed me. I quite enjoy it.
So at home if im writting a paper for class or work. I use my old mac bluetooth magic mouse and keyboard. Works like a charm. :good:
Coming from an Asus Transformer, I do occasionally miss my solid adjustable keyboard dock with touchpad, full-usb and SD slot. (see why I'm not impressed with the one on the Surface?)
Bought myself a Logitech K810 keyboard, M705 mouse (over USB OTG) and a Belkin Flipblade Adjust. More stuff, but more flexibility. What's one more thing in a 15" bag?
You can use USB OTG with the Logitech Nano receivers, by the way. There are a few Logitech semi-full keyboards with touchpad that work over Nano Recievers.

I succumbed and bought a keyboard for my 12.2. It's the Samsung one. Althought, I haven't tried any of the other third party keyboards like Logitech or Zagg; I have to admit that the keyboard truly enhances my experience with this tablet.
Typing on the keyboard is superb. I thought the on screen keyboard would suffice. I am completely wrong! Nothing beats the tactile feedback of a physical keyboard.
Moreover, this particular keyboard got some nice shortcut keys that render the need to ever touch the screen.
I wonder if anyone else have had such possitive experience with the keyboard. Any surprise trick that you discover with the keyboard?
I bought the zagg and love it. I read the logitech had issues with the tablet falling out. I still might get the Samsung one if the price comes down. I'm happy with the zagg though

Personally I prefer a separate one. Love the Logitech K810. But then I have a thing against flipcovers.

i bought and then returned the logitech cover. i wasn't happy with the fit of it, and there was a weird issue that kept me from using some of the screen. (i have a semi-recent thread about it on the accessories forum, if you're interested.) i am now considering getting the samsung cover, so i'm glad to hear that you've had a good experience with it. i have paired an amazon basics keyboard with the notepro in the past, and that worked, though it wasn't a cover (i've got the rediculously expensive belkin bookcover which i like, so i'm not in desperate need of a cover). so i'm waffling between the two. the non-cover keyboard is 19 bucks. the samsung is... considerably more.
i've tried the samsung at best buy and liked the feel of it. i especially like that you can just flip the tablet to portrait and stick it in the slot, though i would probably put a piece of sturdy cardboard behind it if i were using it that way (because i'm paranoid :silly: ).

I saw the Zagg in store, felt cheap, didn't even consider buying it. I did have the Logitech keyboard originally. It's actually a pretty descent keyboard/case. If you're looking for the best protection and don't mind the added bulk/weight, that's really the only one to go with.
I'm currently using the OEM Samsung keyboard case and I like it best for my needs. It obviously offers less protection (only screen and corners) and it's heavier than it looks. Although that does help give it a really solid feel and still a bit lighter than the Logitech. Also keeps the tablet relatively slim and portable. Not to mention, doesn't have any compatibility issues or require "workarounds" to get it to work correctly like the Logitech version does.
Either way, both are solid and well built keyboard cases, just for different purposes. I never had any issues carrying them around or installing/removing the tablet when needed.
GNP12.2 + Logitech = 2 lb 14.8 oz
GNP12.2 + Samsung = 2 lb 9.8 oz
looking for a bluetooth case (i would prefer azerty) cause im used to it here in france. but thats only one a real keyboard, all my virtual keyboards are qwerty phone my ex tablet. but i can't find it in azerty its not realy important.
but than on ebay i keep finding the same case over and over. are there no other ones. for like 20-25euro with stand
found a belkin 2 weeks ago bluetooth for 7" tablets. but have no clue if it will fit. cause i dont have the tablet yet.
other wise any one knows a nice cover/case with stand without keyboard? for like 10euro (than i will buy a little laptop bag to put in the tablet a bluetooth keybaord and mouse)
and if any one know any 8" laptop bags. or i mean not to big ones.
thanks for reading in advance
Which gaming controller should I purchase for note 10 +?
I got the Glap from Amazon - for a lot less than MSRP and got delivered in a week. Super nice controller! http://glap.co.kr/en/index.php

I've seen quite a few people recommend the glap, but I can only find it for ~99$ (USD) on amazon. The controller I use currently is Beboncool It was ~45$ and has full button remapping with icons on the screen via the application. It does fit the Note 10+ with a case, but only with a very thin case.

I got it for $89 on Amazon. I tried it with the Samsung leather case and it fit really well.

Any chance I can get a picture? I bought this controller, but returned it because I thought it wouldn't fit the Note 10+.
Personally, I bought the GLAP. I've had digifly wee 2, MOGA and another chinese bluetooth controller. The GLAP is pricey but fir emulation and Parsec/Steam link, I do not believe anything comes close to as comfortable and as high of quality as Glap.
I personally use a Xbox One V2 controller with one of these holders
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CLJF3V7/
I went with this holder because it opens up to be 3.55" compared to many others that only open to 3.5" the extra .05" is enough to fit my Note 10+ in its Otterbox Defender case.
As for going with the V2 of the Xbone One controller. Its basically required to get Bluetooth support so that you can use it wirelessly with android.
