Can you use the keyboard while charging?

Yes it works while charging. Make sure you have connected to the Bluetooth and then it should function without problem.

The keyboard does not come with a charging cable, but uses the cable supplied for your tablet to connect to the charging port and then charges the tablet when it is docked in the keyboard. However, the keyboard does not have a battery that "charges," it merely provides a conduit to charge the tablet.

Yea, it doesn't come with the charger but you can plug into any charger, say your tablet charger, and it will charge the keyboard fine, with the included usb connection cable.

Yes, the keyboard needs to be charged. However, it seems to have a good sleep mode, so I haven't had to recharge it often, even when I accidentally left it on.

The box say to use the cable that comes with it. Also, I tried using that cable to charge my phone, and my phone wouldn't charge, probably because the cable that comes with it gives you less power output. Trying to charge the keyboard with your tablet cable (having more power output) may decrease the battery life on the keyboard. So the answer is no.

There is a micro USB connector on the right side of the keyboard, you need to plug in the charger there.

Really not trying to be a smart ass, but there is also an on/off switch next to the charging input. Is the keyboard turned on? There should be a blue led light lit indicating the keyboard is on.

There's a small micro-USB port on the side of the keyboard - near the switch. One charge lasts a LONG time.

Yes you can use it while it is charging .When I get the low battery tone, I plug it in, power it up and it reconnects with my phone while it charges.The light turns red while charging and green when fully charged.

I don't think so. It has a micro-usb port on it for charging, but I don't expect that will allow it to connect to usb port for use as a usb keyboard. I have not tried, though.

Yes. You can use it while charging. Only wish there was some indicator light or audible message that tells you how full the battery is. Maybe they have that in the newer model.

Yes, a USB charging cable is included. You charge the keyboard for 3-4 hours before your first use. Depending on the use, the charge may last up to 60 hours before recharging.

Yes, you can use it while it is charging. This is important if you forget to plug it in so it still works.

No. The keyboard does not charge the ipad, nor the other way around - the ipad does not charge the keyboard.

The keyboard charges the same way you charge your cell phone. I use the same charger for both.
