Larger Bluetooth Keyboard?

I use the ThinkPad Compact Bluetooth Keyboard with TrackPoint.
I'm one of the few people that actually prefer a TrackPoint to a touchpad.

I don't know if there's such a thing as a "good" bluetooth keyboard.

Logitech has a ton of offerings, and [I guess] a reputation for quality. [Stay away from the solar one tho. A friend of mine bought one, the battery only lasted 20 minutes or so when in a dark room]
My BEST advice is an external monitor, a USB hub, and a nice wired MECHANICAL keyboard.

I am the same way! I use a DAS keyboard, never could go back to anything less at the desktop. However love thinkpad keyboards
Wow this is a find! I think I will try this. How big is this .. is it wider than the sp3?
The Thinkpad Bluetooth keyboard is marginally wider than the Surface Pro 3. I'd say it is ruffly .25 inch wider. I like it a lot more than the Type Cover. The keys have a lot more throw. The shortcut keys all work well too.

I was looking at this one:
SHARKK® Backlit Keyboard Wireless Bluetooth 3.0 Ultra-Slim Illuminated Keyboard
It's pretty cheap, but has great reviews.
Logitech Bluetooth Illuminated Keyboard K810 for PCs, Tablets, Smartphones - Black
This would be my first choice if it wasn't so expensive.

These two look interesting as well. Not too big, not too small.

I typically just type on-screen on my 10", I'm only a shade slower than on a full size keyboard, though not as accurate. But when in have to use a Bluetooth keyboard, I have an HP touchpad Bluetooth keyboard I picked up new for a couple of pounds, I love it despite no mouse or F buttons. And if I need full size, then my goto has always been my dinovo edge's.
+1 here - I would highly recommend having a USB hub / docking solution at home that lets you use a mechanical keyboard. No hassles with pairing, batteries, etc. And you typically can find a much cheaper, and nicer keyboard. I am still a Model M (Unicomp) zealot. While the Type Cover is pretty amazing for what it is, when I have to sit down and do full on production work, the SP3 is docked at home.
Just got this. WOW. I am a long time Thinkpad user. My search is over. This will replace my mouse and keyboard needs and still leave me an open USB port. Thanks again.
