Does such a thing exist for the touchpad?

Any usb keyboard should work, but you need to use powered hub or a Y cable and a portable battery to power it since the TP has usb host capabilities but it hasn't enough out-power on the usb port

Just wondering. You still need an OTG cable to connect camera/drive/other, right?

Yes, you can't get around physical wiring differences.
USB cable for xoom
Surely you can use the USB cable that came with the xoom and attach a female to female adpator and run your camera cable from that. You dont really need to buy a specific OTG cable. Well I think that would work.
Nope is doesn't you need a otg cable. I tried it myself a few months ago, ended up buying 3 cables to get that worked.

The wire that comes with your Xoom is wired differently than an OTG cable. The Xoom wire is a client wire. The OTG is a host.
But with 3.1 + an OTG cable, can you use the USB Host function without this hack :http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/15979-hack-enable-usb-host-mode-ie-thumb-drives-on-the-xoom/ ?
You just plug your OTG cable and it works ?
It seems there is still no way for a stock user to use a USB stick via the OTG cable because there is no app that recognizes it that way, Android still requires root to access the file system or both.

Building Atrix2 HD dock using Powered USB hub,HDMI cable and USB OTG cable
i made one dock using usb hub, OTG and HDMI cables.
procedure:-
1) if we are using Bus powered USB hub then use one male cable to power the hub as in the image(i used atrix2 charger to power the USB hub and connected one mouse and flash drive it works perfect)
2) Use OGT cable to connect the hub to atrix2
3)use HDMI cable to connect to TV or monitor.

Can you give the link from where you bought all these? I can't get it for cheap in the market
Nice work.
I was thinking of something similar with a rechargeable battery and cordless mouse to get rid of the additional power wire. Does a USB keyboard work on this dock?
I was having issues with the stick recognizing a usb ethernet adapter. After rooting, it now recognizes ethernet but only if I connect the adapter directly to the usb port which leaves me no place to plug in a receiver for a remote or keyboard/mouse. I have a USB hub and while the hub works for the remote dongle, ethernet is not recognized if I plug the USB/ethernet adapter into the hub. I'm hoping that the problem is the hub, it is quite old, predates USB 2.0 by a long ways. So I need a recommendation for a hub - any particular one I should use? Powered hub? New power plug for the android stick itself?
Thanks
You must to have powered hub (nice 1A).
I suggest that you can also partly solve the problem using the same configuration that I have: use a Logitech k400 wifi keyboard with integrated trackpad. I attach the wifi unified adapter via an OTG cable using the OTG port.
Frees up the USB port nicely
Thus keyboard also works perfectly with my laptop, nexus 7 and ps3!. It's 40 gbp on the amazon store.

I recently bought an otg cable for my tab 2 7.0, a d I tried keyboards , mouses and flash drivers, but when I plug a controller of any type, it just powers but the tab doesnt read it,and also when I plug in my phone it just charges without any data transmission .
But I found out recently that by connecting a USB hub I could use the controllers and the phone normally without any problem , so can any one please help me here as I don't want to make a series of connections just to connect a simple controller.
Try plug your external device to the OTG cable first and then plug the OTG to your Tab 2.

Didnt work and i tried the card reader and it doesn't work also
Edit : only wireless mouses and keyboards work
How would it work with a normal hub and it doesn't work without it?
So you could try,
Plug the usb otg
Then plug in a usb hub (with 3/4/6 usb ports on it.)
And I believe it needs to be a power based hub, that would possibly Work then.

The problem is that i don't need to plug in a POWERED hub, the ordinary hub works well with it @[email protected]
Sounds to me like you have some sort of a connection issue -captain obvious- and gonna guess your usb on the go cable does not give a solid connection

can you to be more specific? cause if what you say is correct then how does every thing work when i connect the hub to a damaged cable?
Here's an idea.
My Xperia s could not use a ps3 wired controller it used to say 'power output unavailable etc etc' (but wired mouse and kboard Work fine )
But my Xperia z and Asus tf300 can use the ps3 controller wired with no issues
With shadowgun deadzone, gta 3 , max Payne etc..
This is why I recommended a powered hub.
As mouse and keyboard don't need much power to operate
But the controller does for some odd reason

i can use a non powered hub without any problem , i don't think it is a power problem at all
the problem is that there is not data transmission with some devices like wired mouses, keyboards and controllers while some others work fine like flash drivers and wireless mouses and keyboards.
But when i plug in a simple USB hub all work just fine the wired and wireless devices.
could it be that the otg doesn't work with usb 2.0 devices?
U need to download an app called usb jostick center 7 its an app that u use so I recognizes the remote(i leave link below) I use my tab 2 7.0 (p3110) with xbox controller with dead trigger, gta vice city, gta3 etc. But u need this app fir it to work!
Regards. Mitchell
Press thanks if I helped!

Actually i am using Usb Host Controller to see if the device is read by the tab or not, and when i plug in the controller without the hub , nothing is detected at all
Sounds like you have a bad OTG. Check my signature for a good OTG cheap on Amazon ($6.99). Hope this helps.
Hey guys,
I've been curious, if it's possible to use a slimport adapter and connect it to a display AND have something else connected via the additional charging USB Port.
Such as playing a movie right from a stick with the nexus 5 or a USB keyboard connected at the same time via USB Hub.
Or is there any other option to realise something like this?

This was the first thing I did when I got my adapter. The port is only for charging sadly...
If keyboard/mouse is all you need, you can always get a bluetooth one. If you need OTG for other stuff though, you'd have to use a wireless mirracast adapter instead of slimport.
