[Q] USB Keyboard and mouse

[Great_Bizarro]

Besides a usb a to micro b adapter what else is needed to use a usb keyboard & mouse with the NC? I am running Cyanogen nightly build. Do you need a specific keyboard/mouse, or a powered hub?

I've used both a standard USB keyboard and mouse separately using just a microUSB mail to USB female adapter. You'll probably need a hub if you want to use both together, I'm not sure if you'd need a powered one or not.

I purchased an adapter and tried a usb keyboard and it didn't work. Turned off the NC keyboard in languages & keyboard and still no luck.

Do you have a link to the adapter? I used one like this... http://www.amazon.com/USB-Micro-Fem...TRUO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1318945342&sr=8-1
and a standard HP usb keyboard I had laying around as well as a Dell usb mouse. It's been a while, but I think it just worked without having to do anything else. You may try using Null Keyboard from the Market.
Also, I believe I did first enable USB Host mode with either the Nook Tweaks or Nook Odds and Ends app (can find Nook Tweaks in the Market, or the Odds and Ends app here on xda)

Here is the one I bought.

Ok got it working now I forgot to go into Nook Tweaks and set the USB setting to Host Mode
I am running a Microsoft 800 Wireless keyboard and mouse on it at the moment. Works great. Tried to read a 4gb thumb drive but it wouldn't recognize it unless I used it through a powered hub.

If a keyboard works has any one tried a game controller.

The USB OTG Cable posted above works well. I've successfully connected a mouse, keyboard in CM 7.2 and those and game controller in CM 9.

Has anyone had any luck getting a USB dvice to work in CM10?

Have you checked out the CM10 Alpha 1 forum?

Might be something there.

I just bought a keyboard/case usb with a wireless mouse off of ebay and a 4 port hub and using nook tweeks can run them both without external power. I bought the case for a 10" screen display and it lets me mount my nook with the otter box on. http://www.ebay.com/itm/350627696740?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2649
