NEXUS 7 GUIDEBOOK CONNECT TO DEVICES 64
Connect to keyboards, mice, & other devices
You can connect a keyboard, mouse, or even a joystick or other
input device to your tablet via USB or Bluetooth and use it just as
you would with a PC.
You may need an adapter to connect the keyboard or other device
to your tablet’s USB port. To connect more than one USB device
at a time, use a powered USB hub to reduce the drain on your tab-
let’s battery.
IMPORTANT: Using external devices such as keyboards via
USB will cause a signicant additional drain on your bat-
tery, as will continuous use of a mouse via Bluetooth.
You pair and connect Bluetooth input devices to your tablet in the
same way as any other Bluetooth device.
Keyboards
In addition to entering text, you can use your keyboard to navigate
your tablet’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.
