Review on Logitech Tablet Keyboard and Stand Combo for Android 3.0+ by Devon Leach

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great addition to my Nexus 7

Pros: I bought this product to use almost exclusively with my Nexus 7. I use it for taking notes in college and for quick email and texting. After owning it for about a month I am in love with this product. The stand seemed unnecessary at first, but if like me you don't use a case with a stand, this is a great addition. I use a case to support the N7 every time I print. There's an adjustable stand to change the viewing angle so I can sit upright or recline in my chair and still see the screen perfectly. Response times are very good, the only lag I encountered was when deleting a bunch of text simply by holding down the "Return" key. Some programs (Google Docs in particular) erase about 2-3 seconds after I release the key, resulting in a lot more text being erased than I intended. Other programs (e.g. direct input in a web browser) are not affected. I'm not sure what exactly is causing this. It's possible that it's just a bad signal in the Google Docs program. I use the keyboard about 2-3 times a week for more than 3 hours a day. The first set of batteries will still work after a month of regular use. The case protects the keyboard very well. I carry my keyboard in an almost full backpack and I don't worry about the keyboard being damaged during transport. The housing is made of very durable plastic with a fabric interior to protect against scratches. I like the black finish, the keyboard looks very slick and contains all the keys you need for tablet/phone use. Key. You have to use Function + Backspace to have the DEL key. If you use this on a regular laptop/computer, you'll find that it's not there. I would like Logitech to remove one of the function keys at the bottom of the keyboard and replace it with the DEL key. Requires 4 AA batteries. I like not having to charge my device every night, but 4 AA batteries are way too much and can get expensive if you use them a lot and have to keep changing batteries. The keys are not completely silent, but very quiet. Typing in a quiet classroom or library still commands attention. However, the audio is quieter than any other keyboard I've had on a laptop or regular keyboard. Update: Nexus 7 was recently updated to Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1. It works fine with Samsung. I've been using the keyboard at Samsung for about 2 weeks now with no problems.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
