Hello,
I need to buy portable and thin USB keyboard for Android. I'll use it with nexus 7 or Moto G.
>Budget is around 1k.
>Would prefer any good brand.
>Open to buy online.

Bump!
Even standard keyboard w/o numpad is okay! Any suggestions now?

Wow no reply in months. :p

You should try searching local markets for such keyboards. I haven't tried any, but if I do, I would try these:
Microware USB Keyboard - Microware : Flipkart.com

Or this cool Apple keyboard like: Anker Ultra Slim Bluetooth Keyboard White | eBay

Or, a bluetooth one: Mini Bluetooth Keyboard FOR Android Iphone Ipad PS3 More | eBay

Any guesses why keyboards for android are way too costly? Logitech and other BRANDED ones start from 5K :shock:

Maybe cause smaller and/or portable things take more effort to make?
It's the same way with Smaller and slim laptops. I don't see a requirement to buy a costly keyboard unless you have to use them a lot.

Btw, you can use a normal USB keyboard also with your device by connecting an OTG cable. Not sure if that would be enough for you though.

Normal keyboard works very well. But I need something I can carry along with me all the time :p
