Does this HAVE to be wireless? ie: Can I plug it into the device I want to use it with and just use it as a wired keyboard?

the device you are wanting to plug it into will need to have a USB port in order to work with the device

Nope. It's gotta be wireless. The question is, why would you want such a tiny keyboard to be wired? Are you limited to one USB? Anyway, I've tried it out. The keyboard doesn't do anything without the dongle being plugged in.

Yes. I have a wireless mouse/keyboard combo plugged into mine and it works fine. It does take a few seconds for them to switch over.

I have connected keyboards, mice, external hard drives, and combo keyboard and touchpads to it. All worked fine. It has effectively two USB ports--a regular one and an on the go port that will also let you access it from a computer. If you need more than two USB connections you will need a hub, and the advice to use a powered hub is good, especially if the additional devices are like a network card, bluetooth dongle, or dongle for a wireless keyboard.

This keyboard is not wireless. I don't use wireless keyboards or mice for gaming so I can't respond to the second question.

There is a small usb dongle that plugs in to the computer. Keyboard is factory-paired with the dongle via 2.4ghz wireless. Range is typical of other 2.4ghz wireless keyboards.

No. It is wired to the main box. Switch works well with wired keyboard and wireless mouse. It didn't work with wireless keyboard for some reason.

No. It's not a Bluetooth keyboard or mouse. It will still work with your computer via the USB dongle that's included, but it won't connect via Bluetooth.

I don't own one...but looks like it is a wired keyboard and mouse...not wireless.

I bought a Logitech wireless keyboard for the same reason - missed the number pad. It does not have a USB.

I have not been able to use the wireless keyboard with this switch but I have separate transmitters. My wireless mouse works fine. If you have a common transmitter, I would try using it in the mouse port of the switch. There might be something about the keyboard port that causes trouble - likely the hotkey command protocols.

I sent mine back and went to a wired solution for the keyboard. There were too many issues with it to be counted. The biggest is that it has a small footprint and I have large hands. The other reasons were lag times. I know that wired is old school for my desktop this was the best solution. My laptop I use its kb. I hope this helps.

The wireless keyboard comes with a usb dongle that you connect to a usb port. I have a logitech wireless mouse working with a logitech USB Dongle on my set. The dongle acts like bluetooth. My set immediately recognized the wireless mouse using the usb dongle (transmitter/receiver).

It needs to be connectecd via bluetooth. There is a USB Bluetooth Adapter included with the keyboard, so you do not need to buy a separate one.

It is wireless and does not need to connect. I do remember being confused about connecting because of the cable they sent. But I just turned it on at the little switch on the top right hand side and started typing. I found it too cumbersome and rarely use the keypad.

No, its only designed for the Ativ line of tablets. Not wireless. Logitech makes a really good blue tooth tablet keyboard.

Yes... But some USB devices will not work well or at all when plugged into the keyboard. Read your tech info concerning the device you will be connecting. Good luck.
