Book Cover Keyboard Slim for Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 11"

[@unknownwizard-r2r]

Thank you for showing what it's like when folding the keyboard round the back! I looked evevrywhere but couldn't find any info on it.

[@RADERTECH]

You're welcome, thank you so much for watching!

[@gilleojax]

I got the same keyboard for my Tab S9 Ultra and love it. I think I'm going to get the Samsung Rugged case as well. Thanks for comparing these two ... have a great weekend

[@RADERTECH]

Congrats on getting the Ultra, that's awesome! Thanks for stopping by, you have a great rest of the weekend as well 👍

[@louiskuhn8738]

I just bought the same tablet which keyboard do you recommend?

[@gilleojax]

@@louiskuhn8738 When I purchased the tablet, I got the keyboard slim with it. I think that keyboard is a good option. But I did get it for half the price. The Ultra Book Cover Keyboard is a good option as well if you need a track pad, it's $150 more though but a better stand. Not sure if this helps.

[@nickterzi]

thanks for video, just using first time the keybord-case which was a gift from samsung after purchasing s9fe+

[@RADERTECH]

Nice, that's awesome they're giving them away for free when buying the tablet still. Thanks for stopping by.

[@AnthonyAbuyan]

Same with mine

[@PlanteraBlade]

Wonderful review! It waa short, sweet, and to the point, with no added fluff! Thank you!

[@RADERTECH]

You're welcome, thanks for watching!

[@rmorjr64]

Was waiting to see you type something. I don't know how to make it type. I noticed you didn't actually type anything either. Would've help me see what I need to do to activate the typing.

[@francisbarcelon1237]

Is there a setting to setup the cover keyboard? I want to check the buttons settings. Evrytime i input the @ key a different symbol appears. If type tge $ sign, the £ sign appears. Must be busted or what?

[@RADERTECH]

Hi, thanks for stopping by. Don't worry, there's not an actual issue, you'll just need to change the language for the Phiscial Keyboard when you have keyboard attached. With it attached, go into Settings -> General Management -> Physical Keyboard, and there you'll see shortcuts for switching between languages, along with a few other useful settings.

[@guestspot24]

do you know if this book cover keyboard works with the zagg screen shield? or is it either or?

[@SarahMcCullough-h9z]

Just bought a keyboard and it just won't connect. I'm so frustrated.

[@RADERTECH]

I'm really sorry to hear that, there's been a couple other folks that have mentioned the same thing this past week. It's most likely in need of an update, of which they should be pushing soon. In the meantime, please check for updates in the Samsung Galaxy Store and update all of them. Once updated, try plugging the keyboard in and waiting for a few seconds. If an update is available, a small pop-up will show up on the bottom of the home screen. Once updated, it should work fine. You'll also want to make sure the Samsung Keyboard is set as your default keyboard in the General Management settings. Having it set to GBoard and other 3rd party keyboards can interfere with the Book Cover keyboard at times.

[@valecato]

​@@RADERTECH I am in the same situation, do you know whats going on?

[@tenkfeet]

I three have the same issue, I have updated and no change

[@azaharislam4476]

Does this keyboard drain battery of tablet? Or does it required charge?

[@RADERTECH]

Very minimal drain, you're likely to not even notice it. No charging required, you just plug and play. Thanks for stopping by.

[@pz3112]

If you have it off by a mm the pins won't touch and the KB won't work. Just a FYI!

[@RADERTECH]

Howdy my friend! Thanks for the heads up. I haven't experienced that yet, but I'll keep this in mind if it ever acts wonky.

[@robski8604]

​@RADERTECH I guess the comment above was in response to your worry that keyboard will be active if foldad over the back of the tablet. This is not a Bluetooth keyboard and relies on physical connection with the tablet wia pins. That's why it won't work (and rightly so) if folded over. And yes, you won't be able to type on it if it's not dead straight in its place. Galaxy tab s6 has also non-bluetooth keyboard cover that connects via pins and is held in place by magnets but even if you fold the keyboard over the back of the tablet, it remains connected via pins. Yet somehow the keys are disabled and you won't accidentally type when your fingers rest against the keys as you hold the tablet. Keyboard cover for tab s9 uses simpler solution - to fold it over you need to pull connectors apart.

[@martyarp9764]

I need to know how to work it with my tab 9, how do I make it see each other? When I attach my keyboard I still. Can't use the keyboard on my slim .

[@RADERTECH]

Hi, thanks for stopping by. It should automatically work. If not, please go in to General Settings, and see if it shows options for a physical keyboard once you attach the slim keyboard. If it persists, I'd reach out to Samsung.

[@margaom9962]

Thanks for this video!! Do you know if the keaboard could scratch the screen when the case is folded?

[@RADERTECH]

Thanks for stopping by! It has little rubber type nubbies that end up touching the very top part of the screen, but more like the bezel area. I wouldn't worry much about it.

[@robbquinn8639]

It looks like the keys lay against the glass. Wont that damage the display?

[@RADERTECH]

There's actually 2 little nubs at the bottom that rest against the screen, instead of the key themselves. Sorry for not showing that well in the video. They seem to be made of a hard rubber or very soft plastic, I haven't noticed any micro scratches or anything where the little nubs would rub againts the screen. Thanks for stopping by!

[@Majdi_JR]

​@@RADERTECHafter months of use, is this still the case? Have there been any microscratches?

[@reverend_wintondupree]

Is it lapable?

[@RADERTECH]

Oh yeah, very much so. I did a video a long time ago showing the tab S8 ultra book cover keyboard being used in the lap, and it handled it pretty well. It's even better with this smaller tab s9 setup. Slightly different keyboard since that wasn't the slim model, but still the same result. Thanks for watching!

[@ljacobs357]

It is great on the lap, but you can't adjust the angle.

[@sidharathbhatti2971]

Please also make the video related to s9 tablet pwn flickering is it solve in new series or not ? Wating for your video related to this thing

[@RADERTECH]

When I have more concrete info about an updated PWM controller from Samsung, I'll definitely put something out. Most of these devices are using Samsung 1203-004687 Ic-Pwm & Samsung 1203-004025 Ic-Pwm controllers, so they don't really vary much yet. Thanks for stopping by!

[@antoniovargas4658]

After the preorder period, it seems they are now offering this for free. I've had the full book cover keyboard with the touchpad since the tab s7+ and also with the tab s8 ultra - still no offers for it. Trying to compare dishing out over $300 for the same kind again for the tab s9 ultra or just going with the slim cover which is now being offered for free. The comment by @adi7407 regarding the pins damaging the display is a good point. Also, from your video it seems that changing the angle of the device isn't possible (correct me if I am wrong). I appreciate you making this video.

[@RADERTECH]

I'd probably just lean on the free one they're now offering, and pair it up with a bluetooth mouse when you need trackpad support. I'd start with that, and then consider the expensive book cover keyboard if it doesn't work out for you. I've always used the full on book cover keyboard with the trackpad as well, this is the first year I've tried the slim one. It's actually better than I was expecting, and it takes up a smaller footprint on your desk, which is a nice bonus I wasn't expecting. Thanks for stopping by!

[@thisevilfairy]

anyone having their slim keyboard keeps disconnecting like mine? I leave it for a while and the thing stopped working. I have to remove and reattach again for it to work.

[@RADERTECH]

I just checked on mine, and it's the same for me as well. Great catch! I'm sure these little bugs will get worked out before we get the stable version.

[@LK-bz9sk]

Seems this is a common issue. Maybe that is why samsung gave me mine free when I got the ultra which hasn’t arrived yet

[@ljacobs357]

No issues with mine so far.

[@KellyThomason-j7k]

How do I make the key board co e 9n and work??? I'm not tech savvy...

[@RADERTECH]

Normally it's just plug and play, but there's been a lot of complaints with it not working lately for folks this past couple of weeks. I think there's a bad update out, as that's what usually causes it to not work. I suspect this will resolve itself with the next update, there's been quite a few coming out latetely.

[@ksenit]

Is the keyboard compatible with Galaxy Tab S9 FE?

[@RADERTECH]

Yes, it sure is. It's the same book cover keyboard for both. Thanks for stopping by.

[@yaviraj1022]

Hey Bro.. will we get to see videos on galaxy book 3 pro 360 ?

[@RADERTECH]

Absolutely my friend. The long term review will be coming out fairly soon, along with at least one more tips and tricks. Likely some videos showing how it integrates with the new devices, I like putting those out the most. Just need to get through a few comparison videos with last year's phones and tablets vs this year's, before I have to trade in the old models. But yes, more to come! Thanks for stopping by!

If money is not an issue, I would lean on the full book cover keyboard. Not so much for the trackpad, but for the awesome kickstand it has. Thanks for watching!

[@danielfladmose]

You weighted one cover including s pen versus the other without?

[@ぐぅ-b9h]

Also for S8 Can I use it?

[@RADERTECH]

Sort of, but not really. The bottom will connect fine, but the camera module is different just enough to screw up how it fits. It's best to stick with same model year as the tablet. Thanks for stopping by.

[@edwindano]

Does this fit the tab s9 plus

[@RADERTECH]

They make another version that does. Thanks for stopping by.

[@arismile2389]

is backlit??

No, only the more expensive Book Cover keyboard has backlighting, though it's very dim. Thanks for stopping by.

@@RADERTECH thank you for the info

[@xxxx3037]

How can i connect it with the tabblet please

[@RADERTECH]

You have quite a few options. You can link both up in the Connected Devices settings on your galaxy tablet. You can also enable Second Screen, and use your tablet as a display for the laptop. You can also enable Multi-Control on both devices, then use your galaxy laptop's keyboard and mouse to control the tablet. You can also use Samsung Flow, of which gives you a lot of functioanllity between both devices. You also have Phone Link/Link to Windows. There's even more ways than this. I have videos here on the channel about all of this stuff. Searching for "Flow" and "Mutli-Control" and "Second Screen" on my Videos tab will pull those up. There's so many options, it's bonkers.

[@sc4708]

Bro where is link for this case ?

[@RADERTECH]

No, I rarely have any type of affiliate links or anything. You can find it right on Samsung's website. Thanks for stopping by.

[@wowitscrazyinthere5745]

The keyboard cover on tab s9 is a piece of junk, I replaced the cover twice. After a couple days, typing is chore. It is so bad, typing on it is crammed but the worst thing is that it it hits multiple times when you supposedly want to type once. Using the touch keyboard to write this. Typing a becomes aaa, hitting backspace deletes three characters. Why make so defective product?

[@RADERTECH]

I gotta be honest with you, I've hardly used it, so i can't comment other than I totally believe you. I'm pretty much just using the Outdoor Cover case from Samsung, it's been pretty legit. Thanks for stopping by.

[@ljacobs357]

No problems with mine.

[@wowitscrazyinthere5745]

@ljacobs357 Returned twice. Hopefully this time it won't

[@adi7407]

I had this book cover for tab s7 and you have to be careful because those pins can damage your display. the best solution is the standard book cover and, if you want, the one with the keyboard and pad.

[@RADERTECH]

That's a very good point, you do have to be careful with this one. I'll def keep that in mind. I agree on the book cover keybaord option being the best option. That's what I have with the tab s8 ultra and had with my tab s7+. Sadly, they didn't offer any deals on the book cover keyboard during pre-order time, just the slim keyboard. Sort of lame actually. Thanks for stopping by!

[@Hs12.]

Do you mean when you close the case and the pins may scratch on the screen or is it something else

[@adi7407]

@eastside888 yes. Be careful.

Hi, I have this keyboard. I turned of the bluetooth ny accident and now I can't connect it to the tablet anymore. Someone please help me out

[@RADERTECH]

I've never had that happen before, but here are some general suggestions I found on google: If your Samsung Galaxy Tab keyboard isn't connecting after turning Bluetooth off and on, you can try these steps: Check for other connections: If your Bluetooth device is already connected to another device, it won't connect to your tablet. Disconnect it from the other device before pairing it with your tablet. Unpair and re-pair: Disconnect the Bluetooth device and then pair it again with your tablet. Reset network settings: Resetting your network settings can help with Bluetooth connection issues. To do this, you can: Go to Settings Tap General management Tap Reset Tap Reset network settings Tap Reset settings Update software: Make sure your Wearable app and Bluetooth device software are up to date. Restart the keyboard: You can try resetting your Samsung keyboard to default settings. To do this, you can: Go to Settings Tap General management Tap Samsung Keyboard settings Tap Reset to default settings Tap Reset keyboard settings

If you're using the Samsung keyboard, look for the !#1 keey in the lower left corner. If using GBoard, it will be the ?123 key in the lower left corner. Thanks for stopping by!

ever had any issues with the keyboard disconnecting from the tablet while connected? sometimes when i leave mine connected over night and turn on the tablet, the i find the keyboard disconnected. i'm not sure if this is a common occurence or i have a faulty keyboard.

Just opened S9+ and slim keyboard cover. Noticed that the keyboard doesn't type right away. I have to detach and reattach to the pins. Will appreciate any ideas or help please Thanks

[@RADERTECH]

Hmm, that sounds really odd, it shouldn't be having like that. You should notice key presses within a second or 2 of hooking it up. If this continues, I'd reach out to Samsung for a replacement. I would say that maybe there's a firmware update out for it, because they do get updated just like your device, but you would be prompted for the update when you connected it if that was the case.

[@codys4491]

I can NOT get mine to connect to matter what

[@RADERTECH]

Hm, interesting. I'd suggest going into your General settings and make sure the Samsung Keyboard is set as the default. I know it sounds weird, but having a 3rd party software keyboard set as the default can interfere with the input from the physical keyboard being attached. You can also try resetting your keyboard settings, which will aslo clear any of the installed drivers for the physical keyboard, thus re-installing them after the reset. Hopefully one of these works for you, thanks for stoppiing by.

[@miljkamicko]

My keyboard doesn't work. I don't know what to do...

[@RADERTECH]

You're the 2nd person to mention this this past week, so perhaps there's something amiss with the latest One UI update. I'd try doing into your general settings, and making sure the Samsung keyboard is set to be default. If that doesn't help, try resetting your keyboard settings. Also, when you try to attach, see if it shows any sign of a Physical keyboard being connected. It should once the connection is made. Thanks for stopping by, hopefully one of these suggestions will help.

Sorry for the slow reply. I think there's an update that needs to come out, because you're like the 4th person to mention this in the past week. Usually this is simply a plug and play thing, so hopefully an update gets out soon.
