The Think Outside BT keyboards appear to work fine. They can be easily gotten, ie., Amazon.

In reality, any bluetooth keyboard compliant with the HID Bluetooth profile will work. The Think Outside keyboards above work fine with the "Generic 105 PC" profile -- set in the "Hardware Keyboard" control panel.

My only disappointment is that in the setup described I can not input any symbols or international characters... but everything else in the normal English US keyboard appears to work fine.

For inputting international characters it seems we either need a profile specific to the Think Outside Stowaway keyboards or else some way to defineinput character mappings, ie., xmodmap. Search on the forums for threads talking about this.
