Android tablets are more useful for productivity when typing up documents with a physical keyboard. For this purpose, there are various models of Bluetooth keyboards which are made compatible for many devices.

Want to turn your Samsung Galaxy Tab into a netbook? By attaching a keyboard, you can get a lot of the same functionality that you would from a netbook or laptop, with the added benefit of still being able to use your touchscreen. Connecting a keyboard is generally a simple affair, whether you're using Bluetooth or a USB connection.

3. Turn on Bluetooth on your device. 

In the Settings menu of your Tab 2, head to Bluetooth Connectivity. Tap to enable Bluetooth.

4. Enable Bluetooth on the keyboard. 

The keyboard should come with a power switch as well as a switch for Bluetooth. Make sure to turn it on and that the indicator says that the Bluetooth is online.
