Will the dinovo mini be better than the n810's indigenous kb, or should I look at some of the other options?
Might be best to eat any restocking fee or sell the N810 on eBay and wait for something that works better for you. The only other plus I know of on the N810 is the transreflective display, which is a big plus...still...???

I would find out the return rights on the tablet then spend a LOT of time trying to get cozy with the keyboard. Even the BT iGo Stoaway takes some adjustments to it's quirks like the color key combinations not being setup so you don;t have to reach across the keyboard to hit one key to activate a sub-key combination. Meaning the green activated functions belong on the side opposite the green key so two handed normal typing can be done. I can say I use my iGo almost daily and still have not become enamored with this issue. But I see the logic behind the problem because there are simply not engough keys to make that sort of design work.

The key travel and feel is excellent though. I have the 4-row...

If you take a $50 hit on the amount you get back, well, it stinks but would be better than putting a $400 device back in a drawer. And don't forget unless you open very LOW the total eBay take is about 8-10% if the winner pays with PayPal. So you would potentially roll those dice too if you list as a pure auction. But good items get activity and always sell, especially if a couple bidders polarize on just your item and they can develop that sense of "ownership" while bidding...it's funny to watch as a seller.
