Can the keyboard be used through the microUSB cord alone?

No, you will need to use the USB receiver. The microUSB cord is used for charging the keyboard only. Thanks.-AnkerDirect1-800-988-7973support@ianker.comMon-Fri 9am to 5pm(pst)

No, The microUSB only charges the keyboard. I tested plugging in the USB and removing the RF adapter and got no response from the keyboard.

You can at tech stores. Take your keyboard in there and they show you the mini USB that fits.

No, the keyboard is separate from case so you could use it next to your device. It only attaches with a magnet inside case. Or you can put your device in the case and use it alone as carrying/protective case. Leave the keyboard behind if you want.

I'm pretty sure you can, the keyboard takes up a lot of space which would now be free if you don't need a keyboard.

Yes. The keyboard needs to be charged and requires a cable with a USB connection on one end and an IOS connector on the other.

In addition to the OTG solution mentioned, you can also use a Bluetooth keyboard without any cables or adapters. (edit: after I typed this, I noticed that C. Carmona already added that info to the original answer via a comment. I'm leaving this answer in case someone doesn't notice the comment and read it).

My keyboard works just fine without being plugged into USB. There is an ON/OFF switch that has to be turned to the ON position, but that's all.

No, but you CAN remove the tablet from the keyboard/case, and then you can definitely used the keyboard at a distance from the tablet and still have a functioning system.

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.

I don't think so. It has a micro-usb port on it for charging, but I don't expect that will allow it to connect to usb port for use as a usb keyboard. I have not tried, though.

No, it's strictly Bluetooth. The included USB cable is for charging only. You can connect the keyboard to your computer and type while it's charging but cannot connect to type. Hope this helps.

Yes, you just use the USB port to connect the keyboard of your choice. But remember , this does not come with a stand to hold the tablet up. You will need a case for that.

Not sure about a MicroUSB Keyboard, but I do know that it does not support Bluetooth, found that out the hard way, still a good lil tablet :)

No, this keyboard is a standard usb keyboard with the standard sized USB cable physically attached to it. (The cable is not removable.) Adapters can be purchased for Usb to mini usb, or micro usb though. The keyboard is mini in size, but has a standard usb cable like those you plug into a laptop or desktop computer.

yes, the feature is there if you have the proper cords for hook up. We use it for the church keyboard.
