Hello, I am wanting to connect a mouse and keyboard to my tablet, I can buy a bluetooth keyboard and mouse but I dont think both will connect at the same time or is there a option that a keyboard and mouse will use 1 keyboard connection?

My tablet supports otg so maybe this is my only option but its wired? Can anyone explain what I need to do to allow me to connect both together.

Thank you

    You can connect both at the same time via bluetooth without any problems.

    Similarly, you can use a USB OTG adapter with a USB hub and connect them via cables if you prefer.

    So all you need to do is just connect them both (via either method) and it'll just work without any problems.

    As clonmult said, you need a USB OTG hub which are dirt cheap as you can see.

    Most tablets are OTG compatible but this will only work with a wired keyboard/mouse obviously.

    Will 2 wireless devices work with this hub? Or will I still need a wired keyboard and mouse?

    Thanks
