Itis 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
remote access software like TeamViewer to
remotely run applications that are installed on a desktop computer
or laptop computer, you will get access to the same computing power as
in a real computer from your tablet computer.
How to connect a keyboard
to a tablet
Â
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.

Howto connect a mouse to a tablet
Â
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.
Â
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.Â
Docking station
Â
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.
Youcan also use a USB hub
Â
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.
