    Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone had any good suggestions for a good/cheap (around $20-$30) keyboard with built in bluetooth so i can connect it to my laptop with out any kind of dongle.

    Thanks in Advance

    Edit: I also have a keyboard that connects through a dongle via bluetooth, is it possible to just connect that keyboard to my laptop with built in bluetooth?

    For the limitation on your budget, it's going to be hard to find a lot of BT Keyboards, but here are a few:

    If you could expand your budget by about $15....I think there is a nice Logitech one! ;)

    from dealextreme:
    for $31.29 Free Shipping

    Super Mini BT - $26.22 Free Shipping

    Rocketfish (Used) from varied Sellers thru amazon.com $26.55 +

    Still looking for more..

    I was going to look, but I just saw the edit in your quote....Yes, you can use the keyboard you have to connect via Bluetooth..and save yourself some $$ :D

    You, don't need the dongle on your Keyboard to do this. You will need to Sync the you keyboard with your laptop, and Windows will help you with that.

    Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Add Device > Add Bluetooth...follow prompts for adding your keyboard to your lappy! :)
