Connecting to keyboards, mice, and other input devices
You can connect a keyboard, mouse, or even a joystick or other input device to your
tablet via USB or Bluetooth and use it with your tablet just as you would with a PC.
Depending on your model of tablet and USB input device, you may need an
adapter to connect your device to the tablet’s USB port: See your tablet’s owner’s
guide for more information. To connect more than one USB device at a time, use a
USB hub: use a powered hub to reduce the drain on your tablet’s battery.
You pair and connect Bluetooth input devices to your tablet in the same way as any
other Bluetooth device: see “Connecting to Bluetooth devices” on page 65.
Keyboards In addition to entering text, you can use your keyboard to navigate your tablet’s
features:
G Use the arrow keys to select items on screen
G Pressing Return when an item is selected is equivalent to touching that item
G Pressing Escape is equivalent to touching Back
G Press Tab or Shift-Tab to move from field to field in a form or other screen with
multiple text fields
Mice When you connect a mouse to your tablet and move the mouse, an arrow-shaped
cursor appears: just like on a PC:
G Use the mouse to move the cursor.
G Clicking, pressing, and dragging with the mouse button is equivalent to touch-
ing, touching & holding, and dragging with your finger.
G Only one mouse button is supported.
G If your muse has a trackball or scroll wheel, you can use it to scroll both verti-
cally and horizontally.
