Bluetooth Keyboard

On May 1st, there was a deal for a Motorola Bluetooth Keyboard on AT&T’s site for only $10, so I ordered 1 right away. The package arrived just at first and it’s pretty nice. It was made for the Motorola ATRIX phone / Motorola XOOM tablet, so not every function key works on my HTC One. The media control and volume keys work, but the internet, sms, email, and a couple other keys don’t work as expected. Anyway, it is a good deal and I will probably be keeping this keyboard.

USB OTG

I bought a microUSB OTG adapter for my phone from starangle88, a Chinese seller on eBay, for only $1.00! Shipping was free and it took 11 days to arrive, which is pretty quick compared to other Chinese sellers. The quality of the plastic feels a little cheap, but still good enough to last many uses.

I tested this OTG adapter by plugging in my USB extension cable, which connects to my USB hub, which has my Apple keyboard, Logitech G9x mouse, and HP printer. The keyboard and mouse worked great, just as expected. However, I was unable to use the printer to print anything. It could be that my printer is too old, or I didn’t have the right app to make it work, but I don’t mind because I wouldn’t be printing anything from my phone anyway.
