Bluetooth or USB

I want to get a keyboard for my phone. Should I get a Bluetooth one or should I just get a USB cable one and get a USB OTG adapter for it?

Can anyone recommended me any less expensive Bluetooth keyboard?
 
what phone will you be using with it? the 'htc evo v/3d' below o your name doesn't support otg stock, a custom rom is needed
 
ahh, same phone and rom, ok

keyword is "should" though, i've only had success with joysticks though, i haven't be able to make a keyboard or mouse work

also note that our device requires a powered usb otg cable, and the phone needs to be plugged in somewhere the whole time otg is being used

i haven't used a bluetooth keyboard with it, but a gamepad i have when set to keyboard mode works out-of-the-box, no special app needed on this rom, so a bluetooth keyboard may work the same way

for ease of use, phone + bluetooth keyboard is probably better then phone + charger + cable + otg cable + keyboard
 
The less expensive Logitech Tablet Keyboard, which retails at just $70, comes with a useful keyboard carrying case that converts into a tablet stand when the keyboard is in use. This makes it a more convenient package than the more expensive K810.

While backlighting has been dropped from this model, along with the super-slim rechargeable battery, Logitech’s Tablet Keyboard is among the best mobile keyboards on the market. It offers a reasonably spacious layout and good key feel. There are also universal hotkeys – a bonus for Android owners.
