USB Keyboard/Mouse

[filipst]

Hey,

I don't have yet a Nook to try it myself, but I'd like to know before I get one.. if I use a USB adapter, can I then connected a regular USB keyboard or mouse to the Nook?
I know that with CM7 I can get Bluetooth, but I'm more interested in using the devices I already have instead of buying a Bluetooth keyboard. But I do intend to get CM7 on it, so the question applies for a Nook with CM7.

Thank you.

I would say yes, at least in my experience. I use a Logitech MK320 combination full-sized keyboard & mouse with my Nook at home. Both operate off a single USB dongle connected to the Nook (with adapter). Seems to work just fine. Even some of the special-function keys work. (nightly 155)

This might be an idiot question but which adapter did you use? Thanks.

Not an idiot question at all! I use a USB A Female to Micro USB 5 Pin Male Adapter by Generic I got for less than $2 on Amazon.com. Shipping was twice the cost of the adapter!

Be careful to get one with a "Micro" male B end. Not a "Mini", as some of those referenced previously are.
