Maplin mini keyboard and touchpad

Postby stewhites » February 23rd, 2011, 5:42 pm

I bought one of these last year and dug it out. It works nicely with my scroll. Although I wasn't expecting an actual mouse pointer, I was suprised the touchpad works the same way as the scrolls screen.

FYI, It also works with the xbox 360 ;)
It's all fun and games, until someone loses an eye ;)

I thought this was the one from Maplins, til I saw otherwise! http://www.maplin.co.uk/protective-case--integrated-keyboard-for-the-7in-scroll-tablet-a47kj-508548

Got this one with my tablet from Ebay, it works OK, not amazingly well, but it does the job. Its much easier to use to type the odd thing with, but you wouldn't want to write a book using it. The flap-out stand is nice and sturdy, but the cable flaps around a bit and you're not sure where to stash it when the tablet is clipped into the lid. There is a magnet in the spine, but this gets in the way when the case closes and it tries to find space to fit.

Not bad though, but have used better keyboards.

I bought one of the above (e-Bay not Maplin) and agree with all the above comments. Also, since I applied the flash update (1.07) if the Scroll is resting in the case the capacitive sensitivity seems much increased - so much so that a finger and 1" away will activate many things I don't want! Anyone else found this? Any ideas? And, yes, handheld away from the case everything is fine.
