Will any standard external keyboard work?

Probably it will. However, I have to tell you that I had a very bad experience with this laptop. The motherbooard just crashed in a few months. I had to send it to Lenovo support service. They fixed it, but I guess the quality is not that good. Good luck

I hooked up a wireless keyboard and mouse without issue. Some off brand getup. So I am sure you will have no issue.

It is hard to say what is standard. I'm using USB and Bluetooth keyboard + mouse successfully.

No. I bought a Microsoft Bluetooth Keyboard, which works perfectly with it. Highly recommended and not very expense.

I agree. I REALLY want to be able to connect an external keyboard. I hope Amazon is listening...

Most of the keys will work, but the Mac specific keys will be confusing in a Windows environment. Probably not the best choice.

There should be no issues with using this on almost any device that takes a USB plug. That said I have not used this particular keyboard with that particular operating system

There must be something which fits the output jack. It comes with the keyboard.

I have connected keyboards, mice, external hard drives, and combo keyboard and touchpads to it. All worked fine. It has effectively two USB ports--a regular one and an on the go port that will also let you access it from a computer. If you need more than two USB connections you will need a hub, and the advice to use a powered hub is good, especially if the additional devices are like a network card, bluetooth dongle, or dongle for a wireless keyboard.

Any USB keyboard will work, I would however eventually buy an apple keyboard the functionality of MACs are realized better with this keyboard. I waited until I had a few extra dollars to spend, used a no name USB keyboard worked fine, especially if your just poking around the Internet or amazon shopping. A must have is the touchpad, once you get use to it it'll never want to use a mouse again.

yes however the software to do so doesn't with it. Depending on you OS and version you will have a 50/50 shot in finding something that works with your setup. While this keyboard is a cool idea, the execution software-wise is not worth the trouble IMO.

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.

Yes, I have the same netbook and this keyboard works perfectly. The OS does not matter.

You can use any Bluetooth keyboard. There aren't any that attach but you can get a wide variety of styles to use with it.

Any USB keyboard and mouse will work. You can then add a bluetooth dongle an pair bluetooth keyboards and mice if you like.

I'm not sure you can use a different type of external keyboard besides Bluetooth. The onscreen keyboard is very good, but I know it's awkward to type on a flat surface. The tablet has a really pretty good writing-to-text function, so you could always just use that.

nope, keyboard is not bluetooth compatible, that is probably why most key combinations do not work

yes,,, if you get a multi-port hub... or just get a bluetooth keyboard and that will work also...
