Asking on behalf of my friend....
Buy SAMSUNG Galaxy Tab S7 FE & S7+ Keyboard Slim Book Cover - Black | Currys
There are three magnetic contacts connecting the tablet to the keyboard. The problem is that as soon as the keyboard is connected, the on-screen keyboard becomes unavailable, at least I don't see any means of getting it. This is very annoying, especially if a different language is needed sometimes. Alt+Shift works fine, but you need stickers on the physical keyboard to use it for other language, not to mention problems if number of languages is more than two.
I remember seeing in some video that either or both keyboards can be used simultaneously. Is there anything in settings to enable this?
