Connect to keyboards, mice, and other devices

You can connect a keyboard, mouse, or even a joystick or other input device to your phone 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 phone's USB port. To connect more than one USB device at a time, use a powered USB hub to reduce the drain on your phone's battery.

You pair and connect Bluetooth input devices to your phone in the same way as any other Bluetooth device.
