my girlfriend wants one and you can buy one with a case for it. my concern would be will it take up the charger port on the hudl or the other one?
best look on ebay for value but try to buy something specifically for the hudl and not a universal one

I have one of those that comes in a case, they tend to be a bit naff for proper typing.
You can use any USB (with a USB OTG cable) or bluetooth keyboard, I'd recommend some kind of stand to prop the Hudl up if you don't have one already. Despite what you may find on eBay there are no Hudl specific keyboards, they are all either USB or bluetooth. Tesco do not make a Hudl specific keyboard.
If space is a concern there are plenty of decent 'compact' keyboards, which feel like laptop keyboards.

Is an example. I personally use a USB keyboard when I need one.

Yes, remember the port is a micro USB firstly, it just happens to be a charge port too.
The Bluetooth keyboard should work, maybe the touchpad too. Android supports pointer devices like mice.

ah ok i think a bouetooth keyboard will probably be a better idea for some as they may want to charge and use the hudl at the same time. unless its possible to get a splitter cable but im not so sure that would work at all because of using usb OTG i dont expect it could support more than 1 device at a time

I guess it depends how long you are intending on typing for. Remember the bluetooth route will require charging the keyboard or buying batteries and activating bluetooth on your tablet will drain power - not a problem on mains though.
I've typed away for hours using a wired keyboard on a charged tablet and the power drain hasn't been a problem.

Just picked up an official Hudl2 keyboard at Tesco today - £40 - and at the moment Hudl accessories are 1/3rd off.
It comes in a case and is bluetooth. 90 hours run time
Only time will tell if it's any good though. At least it is a UK keyboard
