Hey,
I was wondering if anyone has tried this 9.7 android tablet keyboard with micro usb plug for the HP Touchpad.

Looks like it would fit or could be adjusted to fit the TouchPad (but remember the back of the TP has a bit of a curve, so it might wobble), but not entirely sure what benefit connecting via the USB connection. it didn't say the keyboard is bluetooth,
I think I will stick with my Acase and HP bluetooth keyboard.
Ok. I see what your saying as far as it not being bluetooth. I was thinking that the keyboard would work by inserting the micro usb plug into the touchpad.
I know the eee pad has its own keyboard attachment but I'm not referring to that here.
Basically what I want to know is does a mini USB keyboard work on this tablet?
I already have a case for a 10 inch tablet with a keyboard used on a cheap tablet but I was thinking about getting one of these but part of the influence to get one is that my current keyboard would work in the mini USB slot.
Can anyone help?
I don't want to fork out for another accessory and I realise the Asus keyboard is better but I can't afford it at the moment.
Any USB keyboard should work, but you need to have the USB host adapter (not the charging cable) or a keyboard dock.
Any reason why the shield won't recognize my usb wireless keyboard? I can connect a wired Xbox 360 Controller through my OTG adapter, but when I connect the usb adapter for the mouse/keyboard, it won't recognize that there is a keyboard & mouse connected. My nexus 7 recognizes both when I use it, and so does my galaxy note 3. I'd love to be able to use this as opposed to having to buy a new bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
I'm using a logitech k400 keyboard with the touchpad and a logitech wireless mouse, model mk215, and they're using a unifying receiver.
I went to Best Buy and picked up a Dynex 7 port USB hub that is powered externally, and so far, the powered hub is not making a difference. Still not registering that the wireless keyboard/mouse are connected. Confirmed that hub works when connected to pc as well as my nexus 7, but not on the shield.
This will be supported in the update Monday its in the notes on things updating
I just did the update and plugged in a mouse via OTG cable and it seems to be working fine. Makes stuff like Plants vs Zombies really playable having a mouse.

I'm using a K400 and it works just fine. Both the keyboard and mouse pad are working great. I plugged in the OTG connector with the dongle already plugged into it and it wasn't recognized. I had to first plug in the OTG cable and then plug the dongle into the OTG.
The logitech unify devices work great with the Nvidia Shield.
HOWEVER, you MUST install the latest Unify software on a PC, link all the Unify devices to the same Unify transceiver you are going to use in the Shield. After linking everything you want to use, then unplug the Unify dongle and plug it into the Shield.
Why can't these instructions be included somewhere in the Logitech manual that came with my keyboard. What a waste of my time.

I agree. What a waste of time replying to a post from over a year ago.
I just bought a double power 10.1 inch tablet. It's not bad since it's a quad core, has a gig of ram, bluetooth, and mini hdmi out and micro usb out. I use my tv as a monitor, and have a logitech bluetooth k810 keyboard. But -- I also have a m570 trackball that I cant get to work on it. I plug it in to the OTG cable and it seems to recognize it,but it doesn't work. I also have a lenovo n5910 trackball\keyboard that works fine, but the keyboard is too small and it's not backlite. So -- does anyone have ANY suggestions or ideas, or experience with this issue that can help me please ?? My tablet is kit kat 4.4.2
Hello!! I just bought 2 tf101 dock for just 20 bucks, I am trying to maje it work with other tablet, is there a way to adapt them and soldering a usb cable to use it as an usb keyboard? They are a fine piece of hardware
