What Tablet Keyboards On Amazon Work With The PMID 701i?

[cherylharrell1961]

I saw on one of the threads here were folks were recommending which tablet keyboards might work on a PMID 701i. I remember they said they were on Amazon. I can't seem to find the thread in search on here. So I was wondering, out of the tablet keyboards that are on sale on Amazon, which ones work on the PMID701i? I am looking one that is really cheap and with cheap shipping. Since I already have a case, it doesn't have to come with one. But if it does that's fine. I was looking on Amazon and hard to tell which ones have the right size adaptor. Thanks for any info. I am loving my Polaroid Tablets.

Something like this will work. You'll need the OTG cable to make it work. The one I bought came with two, one for mini USB and one for micro USB. You may have to buy one separately, though.

Thanks so much for the info and link. I will check them out.

I saw this review on that keyboard and it said:

"I purchased this keyboard to use with my Acer A100 tablet. Unfortunately the A100 only has a slave usb port. The keyboard requires a host usb port. What this means is that the A100's usb port is only used for connecting to another computer for data transfer. It will not work with any other usb device such as a keyboard, flash drive etc."

Is the PMID701i's usb port a slave or a host? Just wondering.

Great thing about the 701i is that it does in fact support USB hosting. I have the 701i and use this type of keyboard with mine. Again, you need the OTG cable to make the keyboard work, so make sure you get that as well.

This is the one I bought. Comes with two OTG cables, one for mini USC and one for Micro USB.

I've had mine for more than a year now and have been very satisfied with it. Happy typing!

[cherylharrell1961]

Good to hear! I can't wait to get mine.

Got the keyboard today and so far it seems to work with both my PMID701i and PMID4311.

I would love to get a keyboard for the PMID4311 that is just a keyboard only and has no case with it. As my PMID4311 is so small and the case for the one I got is so big for it. It'd be nice to have a keyboard for each tablet. Which kind of keyboard without tablet that they have on Amazon would be the best to get for the PMID4311? Just wondering.
