I have a Nexus 7 2013 2nd Generation. will this keyboard allow the device to be in portrait or only landscape?

My tablet is a 10" Lenovo, but it can sit in both portrait and landscape. Note that with a 7" tablet, the keyboard will be wider than the tablet. Additionally, I've had problems with the keyboard's switch that determines when the keyboard should be turned on (think pressure switch), and there's no on/off button.

The keyboard works both ways. The slot is the full width of the keyboard with no obstructions on either end.

I have used it in the detached mode and have been able to use the tablet in landscape mode. I have not tried to stand it in the portrait mode but it feels as if it may have too much give (not stiff enough) on the edge to use in portrait. The flexibility is what makes it work in the landscape mode.

Yes. The stand it ships with supports portrait or landscape mode, and the driver settings allow for configuration of both. It's as simple as rotating the screen and then adjusting your desktop resolution settings to match.

As Robert said, it is a bluetooth keyboard, so that functionality will work with both. However, it is also supposed to function as a case, for which it is not suitable for the 2nd gen Nexus. I have purchased several different brands (same case/keyboard, just rebranded) from several different places. They are all still just for the 1st gen Nexus 7. I just received the supposed 2nd gen case from here and it is still the 1st gen case, they literally just taped a label over the original label that says 2nd gen. Unfortunately, just putting a new label on the cover doesn't change the case and it is too big to securely hold the 2nd gen Nexus 7. It will also not hold the 2nd gen Nexus 7 in portrait mode.

The Sharkk keyboard for the Nexus 7 seems very durable & just snaps onto the tablet, acting as a cover. Because of the way the keyboard snaps on & protects the Nexus, it could travel miles in a backpack. When the keyboard is ready to use, the Nexus just sits in a little slot. It can sit landscape or portrait. The small keyboard takes getting used to, but I like it.

I can connect it to my Nexus 7 2013 version just fine. I can use the mouse along with a USB keyboard that also acts as a Nexus 7 cover fine as well.

It works best in landscape mode as it is a perfect fit but it will work in portrait as well.

I just upgraded to the new Nexus and the keyboard works fine with it. This is a nice keyboard and easy to use.

The tablet docks on top of that black stripe at the top of the keyboard. It docks in a "portrait" orientation. It does not dock "landscape".

Yes. I use it in both position. Just make sure it's nice and tight in the portrait position so the tablet doesn't slip down ;)

The keyboard actually detaches from the case. So you can set the keyboard in different angles. It does not have a stand for landscape though.

No, the Nexus doesn't truly dock with this keyboard, it just rests in a groove. It is a bluetooth keyboard so the two parts do not need to be touching to function.

I use it all the time, like now, propped up. But only in landscape. I hate the keyboard

Yes, the keyboard works well with the 2nd generation nexus 7. The stand in the keyboard case works well also.

I have the original Nexus 7 32GB and it works perfectly fine work my keyboard. I tried plugging in a regular flash drive but for some reason it wouldn't show up. I would assume the keyboard would work with your tablet.

Yes, you can, but only to view. If you wanted the tablet in portrait and adjust the keyboard to type beneath it in portrait, it does not do that.

There is only a stand function for landscape mode and it has only one position. But this has worked perfectly fine for me since I'vs had the case. I actually never needed it to stand in portrait mode (yet). The bluetooth keyboard works very well which for me was the most important thing for me.
