Use a Blue Tooth Device. I did find ONE, and only one, wireless keyboard and mouse that also worked through the USB port with an USB to OTG adaptor; the receiver plugged into the USB 2.0 side of the adaptor while the other end plugged into the USB port of the Mach Speed. The keyboard/mouse was sold under the Inland name. An attempt with a Logitech failed.

You shouldn't have to install anything. Try this: in the bar at the bottom of the screen, on the right side, there should be a button that says "Switch Keyboard". Press that, and there should be an entry at the top of the list that says "Use physical keyboard", with a switch next to it. Ensure this switch is on. If this doesn't show up, that means it can't see the keyboard currently. Make sure the keyboard's physical switch is turned on, then hit the shift key a couple times to make sure it's not in sleep mode, wait a few seconds, and try again. If it still doesn't work, try re-pairing the keyboard. You shouldn't have to install anything.

Yeah its just a type 7 not a windows 7 keyboard. All you need is a free USB port.

No Reason to have install instructions just plug it in start typing. It has a usb cable that just hooks up to the computer desktop or laptop

No there is no software for the keyboard, its more of a plug and play keyboard.

I bought a Logitech wireless keyboard for the same reason - missed the number pad. It does not have a USB.

they should send you a cd that will download the software. all you need is a aa battery to put in the keyboard.and that should be it.

Any USB keyboard that doesn't require that drivers be loaded. Currently using a HP keyboard from a prior system, but any should work.

An external keyboard will work. Either USB plug in or bluetooth. I used a plug in keyboard and it worked fine. All keys functions worked. I used a capacitive stylus that worked great.

I used some small pieces of rubber and some zip ties... but the keyboard support does not come with any such contrivance.

I typed the product name into Google, then clinked on the link at microsoft.com. I found my way to the links to update the keyboard software for Windows 10 and for the Quickstart guide. There is also a larger Product Guide but haven't downloaded that one yet.

you need a usb mouse and keyboard (rectangular connector), not the old kind with the round connectors

It comes with a micro usb/female standard usb dongle. Theoretically, it should work with an external keyboard just fine. Though I haven't tried it myself.

Your keyboard should have shipped with a USB receiver that looks like a small thumb drive. Plug that into one of the computer's USB ports. If your keyboard is charged/has battery life, your keyboard should communicate with the USB receiver without the need for you to install drivers. If you can't find the USB receiver, check the package contents that you threw out, it could be there.
