Yes. There are three USB ports so you can attach accessories like those you listed.

I believe the answer is "yes", although I have only had one external hard drive plugged in - as well as a printer, mouse, and keyboard.

What exactly to you have that is connected to your computer that is powered by the USB? Keyboards, Mice, Game Controllers, Flash Drives, USB Memory Card Readers, all these things should work just fine. External Hard Drives I am not sure about, but If your External Hard Drive is Powered though a AC Adapter (Or DC Adapter if You live outside the USA) I am guessing it should be OK, but if you are not sure or uncomfortable about hooking up a hard drive to a USB extension cord like this one. Then you are better off just using the shorter USB cable that the External Hard Drive came with.

Yes you can use USB devices, including a thumb drive. I do this all the time.

yes u can. either Bluetooth or the regular wireless ones. I'd recommend a Bluetooth mouse. it frees up ur usb ports

No. I would stick with Mac peripherals including mouse and keyboard if you have a Mac.

You can connect a USB mouse to the USB port. It will be recognized and a cursor will appear.

Yes you can. Depending on your USB device it will support IR, RF, or Bluetooth mice.

Yes you sure can however be advised that I think you should use a powered USB hub... I have a wireless mouse and keyboard, a gigabit wired network adapter, and I have hooked up external drives to it... No issues... However one issue I have noticed: if you leave this thing unplugged for too long it forgets itself and you have to perform a reset up of all your stuff.. On the flip side if you leave it plugged in all the time it is frozen and you have to reset it.. I'm thinking about putting a timed outlet controller on it so it resets daily to prevent that..

No, but using a USB OTG cable will provide a standard USB port and mice and keyboards on USB work this way

Yes. You can use a mouse with any laptop including this one. It doesn't come with one, so you'll have to buy it separately.

Yes, you can use a wireless mouse -- will have to download the required software

Yes you can, you would need to have the hard drive connected through your computer.

I use Windows 8 and I love the mouse. By the way, any peripherals (Monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers, etc) should work with any computer or operating system. The only setback would be if a wireless or bluetooth device needed drivers installed, which you would simply follow the instructions for the device. Operating system should never interfere. Hope this helps!

Fire HDs with Bluetooth do support the use of a mouse and keyboard. But a corded usb mouse will not work.

Nope. Just plug in the USB (the little PC shown next to mouse ) and it does the rest for you! Super simple.
