Connect to keyboards, mice, and other devices
You can connect a keyboard, mouse, or even a joystick or other input device to your tablet via USB and use it just as you would with a
PC.
You may need an adapter to connect the keyboard or other device to your tablet's USB port. To connect more than one USB device at a
time, use a powered USB hub to reduce the drain on your tablet's
battery.
Keyboards
In addition to entering text, you can use your keyboard to navigate your tablet's features:
● Use the arrow keys to select items on screen.
● Pressing Return when an item is selected is equivalent to touching that item.
● Pressing Escape is equivalent to touching Back.
● Press Tab or Shift-Tab to move from field to field in a form or other screen with multiple text fields.
Mice
When you connect a mouse to your tablet and move the mouse, an arrow-shaped cursor appears, just as on a computer:
● Use the mouse to move the cursor.
● Clicking, pressing, and dragging with the mouse button is equivalent to touching, touching & holding, and dragging with your
finger.
● Only one mouse button is supported.
Other input devices
You can other input devices to your phone. However, games and other apps must be designed to support any special features of an
input device, such as dedicated buttons or
other controls, to take full advantage of them.
Connect to a Windows computer via USB
You can use a USB cable to connect your phone to a Windows computer and transfer music, pictures, and other files in both directions.
When you connect your tablet to the USB port on your computer, its USB storage is mounted as a drive and appears on your computer
screen. You can now copy files back and forth as you would using any other external device.
When you're finished, simply disconnect the tablet by unplugging the USB cable.
