can you use the keyboard

Yes. Just as if there was no case. This goes for all cases we have bought. We have bought a few because me and my 2 kids have the Brightside. My daughter like to change hers often. (teenagers) This is one of the better cases we have bought. I've used it and my son. Wasn't girlie enough for my daughter.

Yes, anything that can use a keyboard, including iPads, phones, tablets and computers.

Yes you can answer your email. There is an on screen keyboard.not a physical one with buttons though.

Yes you can use other keyboards. I suggest you go to a Microsoft store if there is one nearby and check out the keyboards they have. Any keyboard that has USB or Bluetooth connectivity should work. However, as Mari points out, there are some advantages to using the ASUS keyboard, namely screen protection and extra battery life

No. You have to use the standard remote, which is a major hassle, or purchase a wireless keyboard.

I don't think so but the keyboard is remove able if you just want the keyboard

Yes, but you need to turn the physical keyboard off so the on-screen keyboard is enabled.

Yes, you can use the keys on the laptop as well as on the screen. A keyboard will pop up and you can type away using the screen.

Not to the keyboard itself but you can use a Bluetooth mouse and it will work fine.

No. However the keys are a good size and the placement is very compatible to a standard keyboard. You can also use the touch screen keyboard on the monitor.

The keyboard and mouse work pretty much like standard ones do, so no. However, you can easily use a free scripting program like AutoHotkey to do this for you by way of a keybind, it will then work regardless of your input method. EDIT It seems like the other answer may work as well, although I have never tried it myself.

Not specifically. Go to the website for details. Last I checked, some basic keyboard features may work, but others will not. No guarantees.

Yes, but I no longer recommend it. Individual keys stopped working after a few months. I ended up buying the Microsoft touch pad.

Yes. You can use keyboard and mouse or touch screen. We are very happy with this computer so far

Yes, although I have not found it very useful. I use a detachable keyboard and a bluetooth mouse.

No the keyboard does not work just using the usb cable. You have to connect the keyboard to bluetooth.

Yes, however you will need to use the number keys at the top of the keyboard.I haven't solved this situation!
