Google Keyboard for Pixel Slate
Quick start guide
Safety and warranty info

Q: Can you use the keyboard as a cover/case? Or is that not recommended?

A: Yes this keyboard functions as a protective case for the Google Pixel Slate. It uses very strong magnets to attach itself to the tablet. It folds up to use as stand and when in the tablet orientation, it protects the back of the tablet. When not in use it folds over and protects the tablet front and back. This keyboard is very versatile and very useful!

Q: Is there no other keyboard (with built in keyboard) available for the Google Slate tablet? I have spoken to Google support team regarding a replacement (out of warranty, willing to purchase) and they can only tell me "no covers are currently available".

A: We recommend contacting Best Buy again and our other resellers for further information on availability of Pixel Slare Keyboard.

Q: I have been using this keyboard flawlessly for the past 2 years. Then today I have noticed 6 letters not functioning they are the a, s, d and the J, K, L keys? I've been online with Google support so far no solution.

A: We recommend contacting Google support team to follow up with your case and check on the warranty coverage of your device.

Q: Is it possible to get the keyboard with a Swedish or Nordic keyboard layout(ie with åäö keys).

A: As of now no. There is only the American english keyboard layout. However There are settings in the slate and input method that should allow for typical multi language input. Usually after setting a second language you will be able to hold keys for more letter / language options. For now this is your only solution. https://support.google.com/gboard/answer/7068494?co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid&hl=en

Transforms the Pixel Slate Into a Compact Notebook
This must have accessory connects to your Google Pixel Slate tablet and turns it into a compact Chromebook. It uses magnets to snap onto the tablet. It also functions as a protective case for the Slate and the magnets keep it in place. Be aware that it needs a surface that is somewhat stable to stay upright. So, if you like to sit it on your lap, you will need to place it on something stable when typing. My legs do not provide adequate stability so when I use it in bed I set it in front of me on the mattress. They keyboard is functional and easy to use. The keys are nicely backlit and feature an ambient light sensor to trigger the illumination. To adjust the keyboard illumination use the Alt button and brightness up and down buttons on the keyboard. The first time I connected it performed a firmware update. ---VERDICT--- The Google Keyboard is expensive but absolutely worth it because it transforms the very capable Pixel Slate Tablet into an even more capable tablet/notebook hybrid.

Must Have Accessory for Pixel Slate
The Pixel Keyboard SHOULD be included with the Pixel Slate. It is nearly a must have accessory. The keyboard attaches to the Pixel Slate via a magnetic connector. Placing the Pixel Slate overtop of the connector snaps it into place easily. The rear part of the case connects magnetically to the back of the Slate. The magnetic connection is the full length of the tablet so the angle of the Slate can be adjusted to any angle which is extremely nice. The keyboard itself is fairly nice to type on, the keys are large enough with decent travel to make it feel natural. The keys are backlight making it easy to type in a dark room. The keyboard itself sits flat on the surface making it not fairly ergonomic but doesn’t hurt typing. The keyboard is far best used on a hard surface, typing on your lap is possible but not ideal and can be a bit uncomfortable and awkward. The keyboard gets its power from the Slate so no butteries or power supply needed. When closed, the keyboard covers both the front and back of the Slate securing all sides. However, when picking it up, the keyboard side allows for the Slate to slide around making it really awkward to carry and needs to be done with caution. It seems there should have been a way to attach to top from moving so much. The touchpad works well, though could be more precise. It gets the job done. It has a dive board style left and right click like most laptops. It is large enough, but I would have appreciated a much larger touch surface so when selecting large areas there is more finger room. Overall it tracks well enough and it fine when you need to use a mouse pointer. External mouse would be far better overall though if using on a desk. The keyboard is composed of metal body with a rubbery cloth like underside to help eliminate slippage and adds grip when carrying around. The midnight blue color is fantastic and matched the color of the Slate itself. Overall this is, in my opinion, a necessary accessory despite it’s shortcomings. I would not use the slate without this very often, if ever.

Who would've thought circle keys would be ideal.
This keyboard... the buttons, the tactical, the response, the comfort... It's going to be an absolute struggle trying to use any other keyboard due to the fact at how amazingly comfortable these circle keys are on the keyboard. The flexibility of the keyboard is great too. Whether you want to use it in tablet form, laptop form or even as a canvas to best utilize the Google pen, it offers an option for everything. This is a must add when purchasing the Pixel Slate. The keyboard experience is so comfortable, you will not regret it.
