Is there any way to connect multiple devices I.E. keyboard & mouse through an OTG adapter? I have a powered USB hub and it does not seem to work.
I use this with my note 5, in the process of purchasing usb type c adapters to use with the nexus 6p, if you want to check this out.

Hi.
I haven't yet tried to use a keyboard/mouse on a tablet before. Is this something USB otg can facilitate if I plug one in?
Does Android support keyboard/mouse in the first place?
Yes it does, and as far as I know, it always has. Even on your phone, if you connect a regular bluetooth mouse or keyboard, they should work out of the box.
Edit: clarification: most phones don't have OTG capabilities, so that's why I mentioned bluetooth, as it's the only way to have those peripherals connected. Devices which support OTG should work with regular USB peripherals.
I wonder if the N10 will somehow create a new market for micro-usb components, so people won't need a OTG cable.
Hi All,
I have instlaled my nexus 7 in my car and would like to clarify a few bits.
OK been looking at two things - Firstly - using an external drive with the Nexus 7.
From what I have read and understand I need an OTG cable.
As I would like multiple usb devices connected such as mouse, keyboard webcam usb drive etc do I then connect the OTG cable to an external USB hub in order to connect the various devices? I guess my general question is - are you able to connect multiple USB devices to the Nexus 7 via the external HUB?
I'm presuming you need atleast a 2 amp charger and does plug directly into the External hub or into the Nexus itself?
I'm sure the answers exist somewhere on this site but there is a mountain of info and some of it contradictory.
Im unable to post links to cables I would need could anyone please do that so I know exactly what to purchase - I am in the uk.
Thanks for any help.
I have not seen or heard what the micro usb will be used for on the NP....
The ADT-1 has a USB port and all it can be used for is a keyboard/mouse currently. I'd kill for OTG support. That said though, the ADT-1 also comes with a splitter for the power that adds an additional USB port to connect to your computer to access it via the SDK. So, it could be very much the same setup, or something completely different.
Interesting... You would think they would list the use for it.. maybe these OTG cables i have will come in handy..
It's been said that usb to ethernet adapters will work.

You can connect an OTG cable to it. I connected a USB 3.0 HUB + Ethernet adapter to the OTG cable and connected my keyboard & mouse to the hub and a 64 GB micro SD card for extra storage. I also used the the ethernet port so now I don't need to connect through WiFi

I'm using a Ugreen OTG cable. I bought the 2 pack. The usb 3.0 hub is from Inateck. Links are below.

Hello. Had my note 4 since release and just now trying to use usb host / otg and having no luck. Absolutely no devices are working on my note 4. Tried the otg adapter on my nexus 10 and its fine so unless there is a special adapter needed for the note 4 the otg cable is not the problem. I have tried a xbox controller a mous and a thumb drive and nothing not even led lights showing activation.
So any advice or is my usb port bad? Been using vanilla android for a while (nexus devices) is there a setting im not use to maybe?

It appears my motorola otg is not compatable with the note 4. Tried a samsung otg and all works. Guess not all cables are equal?
I'm trying to find a replacement for my trusty Smartdock for my Note 4. I've looked at various pieces of hardware that try to duplicate the functionality but they always warn that the HDMI and OTG functions won't work simultaneously. Does anyone know of any setups that use HDMI, OTG and the USB ports (keyboard, mouse, USB drive) simultaneously? Thanks!
