How to Connect Mouse/Keyboard to Android Mobiles
The Android Operating System supports PC mouse, game pads and keyboards. Many of the Android devices that are available in the market can be connected to the PC peripherals with the help of USB OTG cable.
USB OTG is a cable that can directly connect two devices, allowing one device to talk to the other without being connected to the computer. For Android devices don’t have a full-size or standard USB port, it requires a Micro USB adaptor when peripheral is connected.
For Instance, when USB OTG is connected to the Android phone, the phone will turn into a host as a computer. Then peripherals like USB mouse and keyboard can be plugged in and control the device. Here is how it’s done.
