The Belkin Mobile Wireless Keyboard, F5L175 allows Android™ and iOS tablets to be used while on the go.  The kickstand supports and holds up to two tablets while pairing over Bluetooth Smart.  The keyboard will support up to two different devices stored in memory as well as a layout that can be set to either iOS or Android™ devices.
 
IMPORTANT:  Before using your Belkin QODE Keyboard, make sure to disconnect the Bluetooth® devices previously connected to it.  Also, if the keyboard layout of your device is different from that of your Hardware Keyboard, you must change the keyboard language to update the output.  Modifying only the iPad® or mobile phone language will not change the keyboard output.  For more information on how to change this on your Android device, click here.  For more information on how to change this on your iOS device, click here.
