1. What's the BT class/range of this keyboard? 2. Does it come with proprietary BT dongle like Lenovo N5902? 3. Or does it work with any BT dongle?

They say class 2, but it's more like class 3 (~1m). It's useless for HTPC. It disconnects all the time. Only useful for a laptop/tablet keyboard.

Bluetooth is a spec (802.15, just like WiFi is 802.11), so anything that claims to be bluetooth must adhere to the spec. Things that require a proprietary dongle usually advertise as 'wireless'. Anyway, I have the keyboard; and I can confirm that it works with standard bluetooth - I've used it on my tablet, phone and computer.

2.Doesn't include a proprietary dongle.3.Works out of the box with an Android (NVIDIA Shield) tablet.

Per Lenovo's specs (http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/pd026744) this is a Bluetooth 3.0 device. This page (http://wistao.blogspot.de/2012/09/comparison-of-bluetooth-different.html) suggests it will be backward compatible, at least to 2.1, maybe further.

I picked one up in Tacoma, Washington at Office Depot tonight. Good luck. Take a look at the Logitech V470 Bluetooth Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks to compare it against something. I think the MS one is feature packed, but the Logitech one is elegant and sexy. Either one fits the bill for BT notebooks users.

I think that this keyboard was made for nextbook NX008HD8G, wich is what i have.....i'm using it now to write this response and find no issues.....For me, it work fine right of the box and YES, it was "Plug -n-Play' .

Hi K. Ness, I just bought the S10 3t 2 days ago in Seattle Fry's for $499. Since then I upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium (a must if you want to truly enjoy the multi-touch features) and now looking to upgrade to 2G RAM (less of a must as the netbook is performing really well already but I'm used to laptops and using MS Office so I want the extra speed). Regarding the GPS and WiMax that's the bit I'm struggling with at the moment. I keep reading various take on wether it is included or not. Same with Bluetooth. None seems to be working for me despite finding all the drivers on the web (drivers which are meant to be for the S10-3T which is the unit I have in my hands - btw typing this reply with it at the moment). There's also a slot for a 3G Sim Card which I have inserted but no luck there either. Probably because this is such a new product there's still no support page on Lenovo support website. So to summarise this is a great netbook/tablet PC (nice capacitive touch screen, large keyboard, decent performance) but I would have liked to see more out of the box support and documentation. Does it have GPS, WiMax, Bluetooth, 3G support ? I'm frustrated to say "I don't know" despite having the device in my own hands. So Lenovo I suggest you formally and clearly document what's in and what's not. One last thing the speakers are pretty poor compare to the iPhone's which has less physical space. But overall still a great piece of technology for the price as you get the best of both world (a netbook and a slate) and I highly recommend it.

If it is bluetooth yes I would bet on it. This thing works even on windows server 2012 where there is absolutely no native bluetooth support. So if I were to bet on any bluetooth dongle working with your keyboard it would be this one without a doubt. Keep in mind that it must specify that it is a "bluetooth compatible device" if it says wireless keyboard it will not if it says bluetooh keyboard than it likely will hope this helps.

I have used the tablet with a USB keyboard. Works fine. I haven't used a BT keyboard, but I have used it with a BT headset with absolutely no problems. Just to clarify, the USB keyboard does require an OTG attachment of some sort to convert its USB plug into something that can be plugged into this tablet's micro-USB port. The tablet does not come with a full-size USB port.

Is that to say that you can use the mouse and keyboard w/o the included dongle? I'm looking for a bluetooth set to use w/ the integrated bluetoth. Thanks.

Good evening Mick;I was not concerned about a media key on the keyboard and pretty much knew that when I bought it. My keyboars did not have any paper work with it or instructions. The keyboard serves my needs just fine with my big fingers and the touch is very good. I also noted that none of the keys are assignable in other words there are no spares to assign a medial function to. I am sorry but that is what I have found out about it but still like it

Just as having a wireless keyboard / mouse on your computer, the menu lies within your operating system, not the keyboard device itself. By the way, it is under "Settings / Language & Input." Not many options in a mobile OS. None of my business, but if I were wanting to use a wireless keyboard / mouse on my Android, I would've gotten a bluetooth one. This unit would require you to plug in the usb dongle to your Android device and your Android device would in turn have to recognize it. If you're having trouble with it working, maybe your Android device can't recognize the dongle. By the way, the dongle is located in the battery compartment and is not bluetooth.

This works great with my Toshiba running 8.1. My laptop didn't have BT built in so I added a BT4.0 usb dongle. I'm very happy with this keyboard.

What version of windows are you running and are the batteries placement correct? I have te exact same keyboard and mouse and they work perfectly on Windows 8.1 Pro. plus I also have a Bluetooth wireless 3.0 device and a Bluetooth wifi 3.0 device all next to the blue tooth for keyboard an mouse , it might just be user error all items I have personally bought from amazon work great, plus you might have bought the item from a lower manufacturer on the selection list on Amazon... and just FYI the issue for ghosting is because of the device is too far away from his receiver for it to connect perfectly to the computer, move the device closer and it will function perfectly What version of windows are you running and are the batteries placement correct?

Where does it say this keyboard is Bluetooth? All I see is that it is 2.4ghz wireless.I think you may be mistaken.

This (keyboard) can work with any device with BT. However, the top portion is meant for 10.1" Lenovo tablet. I would not recommend you to buy this for 8" tablets.

No, this keyboard only attaches to bluetooth. But note you can buy an inexpensive "bluetooth dongle" if your PC is not BT-enabled, then pair your keyboard and in the end, it will be like a regular wireless keyboard.

Softy, did you ever find a replacement key for your MS Bluetooth 6000 keyboard? I have the EP121 with the same keyboard and I also need a replacement key (W). Did you find a website selling the replacement keys?Kimberly8/1/2013 UPDATE: Thanks to Terence below for his suggestion of www.laptopkey.com. I just ordered the "W" key I needed. Total cost was $6.37 with shipping. Should be here in a few days. There is also a video on the site showing exactly how to install the key I needed. Will update this post when I install the key. Much cheaper than a new keyboard.

No. This keyboard uses a "bluetooth" connection, and the ST600 device does not include bluetooth functionality. In addition, the ST600 wasn't designed for use with a typical mouse and keyboard, and I doubt even basic USB models will work with it. I have heard of people using the N5901 with the ST600, but I haven't done so myself. (http://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Multimedia-Remote-Keyboard-N5901/dp/B0036VO67I)
