The plug on your keyboard is most probably a Type A USB male. To plug the keyboard into your tablet, you'd need an adapter cable. Type A USB female cable with the other end a Micro USB male plug. Check your tablet. It's also called an OTG (on the go) cable. You can find them at Ebay and Amazon for very cheap, usually with free shipping, if you look around a bit.

This keyboard should be recognized as a standard Bluetooth keyboard by your tablet. However since your tablet is a Windows tablet some of the function keys might not work as expected since they were designed with Android devices in mind.

Be careful to order proper USB connection. The one sent me had wrong USB connection for my tablet and I couldn't get any response when I tried to swap for keyboard with right connector

I bought item number 7395064 Micro Connectors USB OTG Cable from Frys.com. It allows you to connect On the Go capable USB devices such as a flash drive, mouse, keyboard, etc. directly to your Smartphone or tablet via Micro USB port. They say it's compatible with latest Android phones & tablets. I picked it up in-store because I needed it right away. But shipping is only $1.99. The adapter has a very short cord and works great...as does the keyboard. Amazon also has a wide variety of USB 2.0 A Female to Micro B Male Adapter Cables too...all with short cords. Read the reviews and pick up the one you like best. All are pretty reasonably priced.

This adapter is used to connect a flash drive to the tablet. Not sure about a keyboard...

I have an 8 inch Zeki tablet and it doesnt work because the connector on the keyboard is a USB and the Zeki has a mini USB port, but i was told that there is an adapter that you can buy and then it will work, i didnt look into it yet tho.

My tablet came with all the cables needed & I used one to connect to the port on my tablet and the other end connects to the USB for the keyboard. I don't think you would have a problem using the one that goes with your tablet. Good luck!!

Save your money. Get a USB OTG cable for less than 10 bucks and use any USB keyboard you own...wired or wireless. Just plug it in. No drivers needed. You can also plug in a mouse or USB flash drive. Or plug in a hub, preferably powered, and use them all at once. Here's an example of the USB OTG cable. Yes, I own this tablet, yes this works.JKase Micro USB OTG Host Cable to USB 2.0 Adapter for Samsung Smart phones

There is a cord attached to the keyboard that will plug into an OTG micro USB port. That is what your tablet needs to have in order to plug the keyboard into it. I hope that helps.

Im not sure what sure what usb devices will work with it. But reading another review the user had to user pliers to remove the broken piece from the tablet. I cant recommend you risk finding out. Even if it didnt break to pieces I wouldnt count on it working more than 5 times. I suggest trying http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-EPL-1PL0BEGXAR-USB-Connection-Kit/dp/B005518J6Q/ref=pd_sim_cps_24

--I contacted Velocity Micro asking if an external USB keyboard would work and I got the following answer: No the device is not plug and play compatible so a USB keyboard will not work with the reader. -Andrew Cruz Support Technician --(follow-up query)Is there any chance an app can be written to enable an external USB keyboard to work or is the USB port on the Cruz Reader strictly for file transfers? Thanks. The usb is strictly for data transfer, it could be possible to write an app that goes around this however we do not have a development team here so it would be up to a third party developer. -Andrew Cruz Support Technician --apparently the USB is not a full host controller.

It does work well with an external keyboard; however, I have had mine for approx two weeks and it will not charge to 100% I'm thinking....this one may be defective. O_0

The one I got did not make a good connection with my ASUS MEMO 7. I have another cable that works well with the ASUS but does not work on my daughter's Kindle Fire. To the best of my knowledge, the Kindle Android structure does not support the USB standard and does not work with keyboards or mice. The ASUS does.

Certain phones and tablets are labeled OTG (on the go) and can be used with external keyboards, thumb drives, etc. using that cable. A few devices aren't compatible as may be the case with your kindle. There may be a way to enable the OTG capability with a custom rom (aka jailbreaking) but this may end up voiding your warranty or "bricking" your device. There may be apps available in the Google play store to enable OTG or to trouble-shoot your tablet/phone but these don't work on all devices. YMMV
