It
is possible to connect a keyboard and mouse to a tablet computer. The
tablet will then function like a small laptop computer. And if you use a

How to connect a keyboard
to a tablet
 
It is possible to connect a keyboard and
mouse to a tablet computer. You can first check if the manufacturer of
your tablet computer has keyboard adapted for your tablet. If they have
not you can use a general keyboard. We recommend you to use a keyboard
that supports BlueTooth. A USB keyboard can generally also be used with
a tablet computer, but a BlueTooth keyboard are very smooth to use
because they are very easy to connect and no cable is needed.

 
How
to connect a mouse to a tablet
 
You can also connect a mouse to your tablet
computer. When you attach a mouse to a tablet, a mouse pointer is
automatically shown. The mouse can be used with the apps that follows
the table computer, but also when you remotely run applications on
external computers.
 
If you want to use a mouse with your
tablet we recommend you to use BlueTooth mouse, but a USB mouse can also
be used. If you want to use a USB mouse and connect it directly to the
tablet, you must use a mouse with a Micro-USB connector. Other option is
to use a Micro-USB adapter if your mouse does not support Micro-USB. 
Docking station
 
Besides a keyboard and mouse you can also
buy a docking station to a tablet computer. The docking station will
help you to have the tablet’s display in a proper angle so the text will
be easy to read. Another benefit with a docking station is that they
generally have support for many USB ports. This will make it easy for
you to connect both a USB keyboard and USB mouse to your tablet. The USB
ports are generally of normal size (same size as in laptop and desktop
computers) so no Micro-USB adapters are needed. If you have an old
keyboard and mouse you can just plug it in.
You
can also use a USB hub
 
If you have a USB keyboard and a USB mouse
but no docking station, and only one USB port on your tablet computer,
you can use a USB hub to connect your keyboard and mouse to the tablet.
Just make sure that the contact that will be plugged into the tablet is
in the Micro-USB format.
