Options for connecting a keyboard and mouse to a tablet
In order to ensure maximum functionality of the tablet, you can connect a mouse and keyboard to it. This can be done in two main ways: through a wired connection and wirelessly. Both connections have their advantages and disadvantages.
Wired connection
In order to connect additional devices, many tablets have not only standard mini USB for mobile devices, but also full-fledged USB ports that support connecting not only control devices, but also regular flash cards. If the tablet does not have a full-fledged USB connector, then you should use the On-The-Go adapter, which allows you to turn mini USB into a full-fledged connector.
ATTENTION. Not all tablets support mouse or keyboard controls. In order to find out whether such a function exists, you should refer to the technical literature.
Also, if the gadget has only one connector, but two control devices, then a USB splitter will be useful, which will allow you to connect several devices to one tablet.
ATTENTION. If the connected devices do not work when connecting the splitter, the problem may be that there is not enough supply voltage for their operation. An active device with an amplification stage can solve the problem.
Wireless connection
Wireless connection of a keyboard or mouse is carried out in two ways:
- Via an external module.
- Via built-in module.
To set up a connection via an external device, just connect it to a USB port. After which the gadget will automatically detect the connected device.
When connecting via your own Bluetooth module, you need to go to the wireless connection settings and pair with an enabled wireless mouse or keyboard.
