Only bluetooth keyboards work, as far as I know, and with somewhat varied results depending on the model.

I'm going to receive the Rii bluetooth keyboard/touchpad combo soon (~$30 on Ebay). Will test on the PB and report results.

I have a Rii keyboard & touchpad combo, which works brilliantly. Only problem I have with it is that is unable to scroll sideways, but that usually isn't a big problem anyway.

Glad to hear the rii works well!

I have had one of these for 8 years and it works perfectly with the Playbook:

I can now say first-hand that the Rii is an amazing keyboard/touchpad combo to add to your PlayBook! Received mine from an Ebay purchase and have tested it for a day. Pairs perfectly with the PB (latest OS); saw some threads about BT headaches with the new OS upgrade, so was happy that the Rii detected right away.

Keypad is amazing on this thing -- very responsive and good quality build. It's great to have full screen real estate when typing. Typing emails is a breeze and a joy now.

The touchpad is pretty cool; it didn't dazzle me as much (I prefer gestures), but still a nice option. It seems a little underresponsive, but could just be me.

Just wanted to post some thoughts in case anyone is having trouble finding the official BB keyboard and needs an alternative. This is a very viable option for the PB; I will also be using this keyboard for our HTPC.

I started a thread a while back about the Rii. It's a really good option.

If you can find one, the OEM BlackBerry Playbook keyboard is fantastic. It is also bluetooth however.

Can anyone recommend a snap-on/stand keyboard case that would work with the PB?

Something like this: 7 Inch Bluetooth Keyboard Stand Case FOR Google Nexus 7 | eBay

I've never seen them, and realize that the PB, while 7" in screen size, has a different thickness than other tablets. Any recommendations? I prefer to use my PB without a case but would like to snap it into a keyboard stand for longer emails.

Thanks in advance!

Has anyone tried this Logitech keyboard with the PB?

After looking at it seems like it would work well with the PlayBook. No trackpad though. That's a bummer.

Could you help me to make my BB keyboard with convertible work? Playbook Bluetooth set up does not see the device (does see my Mac, e.g.). TNX -- Ren

Have you tried to unpaire it then restart everything?
