Can you post some pictures?

Most tablets do not have standard USB ports...

yes sorry for the confusion. it's a low profile USB 2.4ghz WIFI dongle, not bluetooth (both are actually 2.4ghz). i first tried a bluetooth number pad but the connection was very unreliable on this Acer chromebook. Many people complain that bluetooth is garbage in ChromeOS. couple that with a cheap device and it's no surprise it had problems.
A caveat with any keyboard is that ChromeOS will not recognize numlock so the keypad will always be numbers, not arrows. thank God MSP is robust with key assignment!

Post header says Bluetooth page turner which is wireless.
Hacking keyboard something like this:

But Bluetooth keyboard - no wire, no dongle.

Anyway I've great experience with Pixel Slate Chromebook tablet paid with Airturn 105.
In busy venues with lots of other Bluetooth devices it could take longer to find each other but otherwise it works flawlessly.

oh good you have a reliable bluetooth device working with ChromeOS. I was looking at a refurb Airturn 105 as well but thought I would give this a shot first and I'm content so far.
