Is this possible with a table/keyboard?

[Steve]

I realize I maybe looking for something that doesn’t exist!

 

I do a bit of traveling and I have to write a lot.  I’m looking for some way of using a tablet with a keyboard but in portrait mode?

I know I can get a Bluetooth keyboard, but I’ve tried a lot of them and they’re all bit iffy. Either they miss letters or double send the same letter, and having to edit because the keyboard can’t keep up is a pain.

 

So, is there a lead of some kind that can connect the included keyboard to the tab?  Or, which would be the ideal solution, or a tab that has the keyboard interface on the long edge and the short edge? (I’ve never seen this anywhere, but I guess if anyone would be aware of it, it would be someone here)!

 

Thanks

I recall HP having something that met those specs back in early 2000’s, I dot think it ever caught on though, I have done some digging and most of what I can find is going to be a Bluetooth solution:

that is one such case, I presume you want the tablet to be vertical while your typing on a physical keyboard that has a wired connection versus a Bluetooth one.  Ill let you know if I find anything else.

Thanks,

 

I’ve tried a number of BT keyboards, none really work for someone that types all day. They just can’t keep up, or randomly go off and do their own thing!

I’ve tried the Logictech ones as well as they imply that they’re not BT?  They work a little better, or appear to, but even they have issues with keys not being recognized.

 

In a way I’m surprised that none of the company’s have thought of using the screen the other way. It makes more sense to use it that way with Word..

I agree, I dont think there is anything that is hard wired for what you want, my best suggestion is to find one that plugs into your tablets charge/usb port with a cord and see if that will work?
