Tablet computers are very popular these days. Their advantage over laptops is their small size and weight, respectively, as well as a longer operating time. However, sometimes, for example, when writing relatively long text, using the touch screen is not very convenient. Many support joystick control. Working in some applications would be easier with a computer mouse. But not everyone knows how to connect a mouse to a tablet.

Connecting a mouse to can be done in several ways. The first one is wired. Some tablet computer models have a full-fledged USB port. In this case, a standard USB device (mouse or keyboard) is connected without problems. But most devices are equipped with a Mini-USB or Micro-USB connector. Then you can connect the mouse to the Android tablet using a USB OTG cable. It is a cable with a Micro-USB connector on one end and a standard USB connector on the other. If a USB OTG cable is not included, then an adapter can be purchased at an electronics store.

Sometimes you may need to connect a mouse and keyboard to your device at the same time. What to do if the second port is missing? A USB hub (splitter) will help resolve this problem. It happens that the splitter does not provide simultaneous operation of the keyboard and mouse. The reason for this is lack of nutrition. Therefore, in order to avoid problems, it is recommended to use an active USB hub with an external power supply.

Wireless connection

Wired connection of devices has some disadvantages, one of which is the restriction of movement. If mobility is important to you, then the best option for connecting peripherals is a wireless connection.

Connecting using a Wi-Fi channel

There are several conditions that must be met in order to connect external elements to the Tablet PC. Without their observance, the correct operation of the components is impossible.

  1. The presence of a radio module in the design of the connected external periphery.
  2. The mouse (keyboard or other) should work without additional network equipment. Otherwise, the function of distributing the IP address should be performed by the gadget.
  3. Combining devices into one network: must partially match the IP address and completely match the netmask.
  4. Connected devices must independently process commands and send them in the correct form to the tablet.

It is quite difficult to implement this algorithm for the interaction of components, so the keyboard or mouse is usually not connected to the tablet via Wi-Fi. This connection is mainly used for printers.

Bluetooth connection

Connecting a Bluetooth mouse to is not a difficult task. To perform it, you need to perform the following actions:

  1. Turn on Bluetooth on devices and connect them to each other;
  2. Wait for automatic synchronization of elements. If the synchronization did not happen automatically, it must be done manually.

This type of connection of external devices with a tablet computer is simple and mobile, and therefore the most convenient. If the device does not have a built-in Bluetooth module, you can connect an external adapter to it.

The tablet has become popular due to its wide range of features (watching videos and photos, checking mail, and so on) combined with mobility. By connecting a mouse, keyboard or other device to it, you can make your tablet as convenient as possible for use.
