This Tablet has a Micro USB connection. There are many keyboards out there that work with this tablet or any tabl;et similar to this. Most of the time you would find a Leather Like portfolio that has room for a 7 to 8 inch tablet. these cases have a short cable with a standard male USB connector. What you will also need to find is a Short what is called Gender Changer adapter. This 3" cable has a Female USB at one end and a Micro USB at the other. This keyboard will work with this kind of tablet with the correct cable adapter. I hope this helped and wasn't too confusing

I bought a case with a keyboard and usb connectors and it all works. I am able to use the keyboard and also able to attach a mouse using the USB. I hope this helps.

If you can use a and non Bluetooth wireless mouse you can use this keyboard if not it won't work because it may need a driver in order for it to work like when you connect something to a PC.

Yes...any USB keyboard will attach to the USB port of the Iconia and will be recognized immediately. Bluetooth keyboards are also available.

Like other have mentioned, you can hook up a keyboard and mouse with the USB port, it also has bluetooth that works great that you can connect things with as well.

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

No, there is no USB port in this keyboard. Those only exist in high end keyboards.

You can use any kind of keyboard as long as it is a USB one. I use an old DELL keyboard to work with it but usually I use SSH to connect from another computer and controle it. I Hope this helps

USB keyboards will not work with this tablet. The tablet must have USB host capability and the current firmware does not support it. Maybe when ICS comes out . . . but until then, you will need a bluetooth keyboard.

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

Yes. I should work on any recent Windows-based system with a USB port. There's no special software required or included with USB keyboards like this one.

The keyboard doesn't come with a driver disk so it's basically compatible with anything. It's a plug and play type keyboard.

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

Yes as long as the device have a micro USB port. However quality of this keyboard is poor, bear that in mind.

Absolutely. You don't need any drivers or anything. Just one USB port for the keyboard, and another if you want to use the built-in USB 2 hub.
