Connect to keyboards, mice, and other devices
You can connect a keyboard, mouse, or even a joystick or other input
device to your tablet pc via USB and use it just as you would with a PC.
You may need an adapter to connect the keyboard or other device to
your table pc's USB port. To connect more than one USB device at a time,
use a powered USB hub to reduce the drain on your tablet pc's battery.

Keyboards
In addition to entering text, you can use your keyboard to navigate your
tablet pc's features:
■ Use the arrow keys to select items on screen.
■ Pressing Return when an item is selected is equivalent to touching
that item.
■ Pressing Escape is equivalent to touching Back.
■ Press Tab or Shift-Tab to move from eld to eld in a form or other
screen with multiple text elds.
■
Mice
When you connect a mouse to your phone and move the mouse, an
arrow-shaped cursor appears, just as on a computer:
■ Use the mouse to move the cursor.
■ Clicking, pressing, and dragging with the mouse button is
equivalent to touching, touching & holding,and dragging with your
nger.
■ Only one mouse button is supported.
■ If your mouse has a trackball or scroll wheel, you can use it to scroll
both vertically and horizontally.
■
Other input devices
You can connect joysticks, gamepads, and other input devices to your
phone. If they work without special drivers or adapters on your PC, they
will likely work with your phone. However, games and other apps must
be designed to support any special features of an input device, such as
dedicated buttons or other controls, to take full advantage of them.
