Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but I've been using ConnectBot[1] for the past year or so and it has worked great. I've never used it with a physical keyboard, though, so YMMV.

try Hackers keyboard in conjunction with connectbot.

Makes life much better if you don't have a physical keypad.

edit: I should elaborate. You dont really even need connectbot with hackerkeyboard as the multi keypress features aren't needed; HK supports that on itself.

My SSH combo is just Terminal Emulator + hackers keyboard

Hacker's Keyboard is awesome for SSH/terminal.

Stock ConnectBot has a lot of irritating behaviours with a physical keyboard. GitHub presents several dozen forks with something like what I want, but methodically going through and figuring out which are actively maintained and which actually offer everything (back key as ESC, working number+shift, etc.). I'm a VI user, and a lot of forks are optimised for other editors.
