Can I charge the Venue 11 Pro and the Tablet Keyboard together as one unit when the tablet is docked or do I need to charge them separately?

You can charge the Pro and Keyboard together, or you can charge them individually.

To charge the keyboard separately the usb port is in the back portion along the rotating / attachment area.

It is possible to do both - however, L. Tullos is correct. To do so, you would have to root your system and install a different kernel in order to have the tablet charge while hosting a slave device.

No. There is a physical connection between the keyboard and the ASUS Pad. I just checked it. When you charge the keyboard you are also charging the PAD because of the physical connection (by the way, the connection it the same as the charging plug).

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

No. I don't remember if the tablet did either. It doesn't really matter because they both use a micro USB connection. Stupidly, the dock does not charge the tablet when the tablet is plugged in. Also, the keys and touchpad are not very friendly. The only reason you really need the dock is because it has a full size USB connector that can be used to plug thumbdrives in for transferring data.

If you order this from Amazon it does NOT come with a charger. The charger would have come with the tablet (if you don't have the tablet, there's really no reason to get the keyboard for it). If you have an ASUS Transformer tablet with a 220V power adapter, the same adapter should work with the keyboard dock.

You Can't ASUS has not made this Table and Keyboard Dock since 2013. I Purchased One TF810 that was on E-Bay and should a Tablet & a Dock, thw write up said that it had a keyboard, however when I received it it was just the tablet, so I stared to look on E-Bay & Amazon & I found a Complete Tablet & Keyboard, so now I have two Tablets & One Keyboard Dock. So if you find 2 Docks let me know and I will buy it.

I would dock the tablet with the keyboard and plug the charger into the keyboard overnight (about 12 hours). We had to do this before it would "vibrate" when docked.

I've tried it with a basic keyboard and the Venue 8 Pro and it works. But know that the port on the Venue 9 Pro is not a a full power usb port so if your keyboard has some constant lights and things it might not.

No, the connection between keyboard and iPad is via blue tooth. Need to charge both separately with their individual chargers.

The keyboard charges separately from the IPad mini. However, one can charge the iPad mini within the case. I hope this helps.

Not with one 2A port. I have been able to charge the tablet on one 2A and the keyboard on the other 2A port.

When the tablet is docked it will not charge due to the amount of power required but you should be able to charge them separately. If you see the amber light come on when plugged in it should be charging as long as their charging separately

It was a few years ago that I bought this, but if I'm remembering correctly, it is just the keyboard. There is a port on it so you can charge the tablet while using it and/or connect via USB to a computer. I was very pleased with its functions while I had it. Hope that helps!

Mine didn't. All I know is that I have tried all of my USB charging cords & they will not charge the docking station. In order to charge it I have to charge the tablet then re-dock. I am very unhappy with the dock/keyboard. Good luck!!

You charge your Ipad the way you normally do with the chord it came with. You charge the keyboard with a cord that comes with it. Make sure you turn the keyboard off when you're not using it, so as not to run it down.
