Hey guys,

My N900 is the 3rd device I want a bluetooth keyboard for, after my PS3 and HTPC.

I have been shopping for awhile but all the bluetooth keyboards I find are either:

1) overpriced
2) built as cheaply as possible
3) for mac

The last (pricey) wireless keyboard I had never worked because the batteries could bounce around inside the battery compartment. I was constantly stuffing in tin foil and cotton to make a good connection.

This one: http://tinyurl.com/ydjr5s4 has a good price and I have held it in the store and it feels solid. But it looks fruity... yuck.

So the question is: Has anyone found a nice bluetooth keyboard at the same price point (~$50), with solid build quality?

Also it would be great if it was built by a company I have heard of, but that might be wishful thinking.

Stowaway Ultra-Slim Bluetooth Keyboard was great with my N95 8gb. Not sure how well it plays with Maemo though.


edit - or are you just looking for a full-size (non-portable) one?

I use this one with my HTPC: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/104608

Works fabulously. They do a Bluetooth version as well but I couldn't comment on how well that functions.

I'm pretty happy with the iGo/Thinkoutside Stowaway Sierra. But they stopped making them, so they're very very hard to find by now.

I've only used it with my N800, where it worked flawlessly. At some point I want to use it with my N900 too, but I'll wait until the current missing support problem is fully sorted out.

The build quality of the keyboard could have been better, the screws are threaded into plastic and some of them tend to break loose. But nothing disastrous.

I used the stowaway sierra with my handspring visor prob 10 years ago. It worked well.

I should specify that now I am looking for a non-portable, desktop keyboard that uses bluetooth for my living room. Logitech makes many but I'm not looking to spend $180 on a keyboard.

@BillyTheFish, I didnt see the bluetooth version of the 2.4ghz you suggested. Do you have a link?

I have a Logitech Dinovo Mini, it is a really good bluetooth keyboard in my opinion. I purchased it because it was easy to connect to my pc and my ps3, and hopefully maybe one day it will connect to my n900.

its a bit pricey, but sometimes you can get it for a good deal on sale.

I got a Microsoft Mobile 6000 Bluetooth keyboard for $60 in Staples it is light sooo thin and works great with all my bluetooth things e.g computer, PS3 and Nokia N900

the ThinkOutside / iGo foldable aluminum has been very reliable for me across many devices during the last 6 or so years... until the N900 (for now)

I use this one and it's been awesome.

besides - I loved my iGo Stowaway.

Are you planning on using it with your N900? I haven't set mine up yet (are there even drivers?) but it could be useful for touch-typing and when hooking up to a larger screen...
