So what's the best approach for mouse/keyboard? Do I need the WiFi/BT card and a separate BT keyboard? You say it has an IR port. IR Keyboard?

buy any BT keyboard that has a usb dongle and plug it in. You could buy the WiFi/Bt card (I have it for Wifi), but most BT keyboard bring the dongle (logitech). IR is bad, line of sight

I used a USB keyboard and mouse. There are 4 USB ports - 2 in front and 2 in back.

I use a standard wireless mouse and keyboard that uses a mini usb receiver. You can use a wired USB mouse and keyboard as well. You will need to add a separate wireless network / bluetooth card if you want bluetooth mouse and keyboard. I have this card: Intel Network 7260.HMWG WiFi Wireless-AC 7260 H/T Dual Band 2x2 AC+Bluetooth HMC. The IR port is for a remote control, such as a windows media center remote.

I have used Bluetooth keyboards and mouses, but prefer Logitech parts that use the tiny unifying receiver. Takes up one USB port for both, and range is superior, they also connect at boot, don't need to wait for the BT drivers to load.

Either a Bluetooth Keyboard / Mouse combo or a combo that uses a USB dongle. If Bluetooth be sure to buy the proper Wifi / Bluetooth module and install it in the NUC

An IR keyboard would be a terrible idea because IR requires line-of-sight. If something is in the way or your keyboard isn't pointing at the NUC, you won't be able to type. A bluetooth keyboard or a standard wireless keyboard with a USB receiver dongle would be the best bet. I personally use this one and it's amazing. Very comfortable and great range.

The keyboard must be plugged into the tablet to work and not wireless. There is another option though and pretty cheap. Since the keyboard has a USB port you can get any Logitech wireless keyboard that comes with their dongle and use that keyboard. I have a Logitech keyboard that has both the keyboard AND the finger pad and mouse keys just like a normal laptop has so you don't need a seperate kb and mouse. That was about $30 at Walmart. You can plug the dongle into any device that uses USB....I also use it with my regular laptop (Windows) and even my Samsung smart TV (computer built in) for remote keyboard. Note though that on the ASUS there is not a USB port on the tablet itself only the keyboard so you still need both the tablet and its docking keyboard. That being said....the ASUS kb is excellent....in fact that is what I am using right now to reply to you.

I have not replaced the keyboard and mouse. But yes a Bluetooth or USB mouse and keyboard would work.

this model i bought included mouse/keyboard and wifi. I didn't use mouse/keyboard, as very basic and bought logitech wireless ones. Wifi works a treat. Awesome little rig this is and very quiet.

WiFi with bluetooth works fine. I commonly use the internet to stream music and videos while using bluetooth mouse and keyboard.

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 comes with a regular keyboard & mouse that can be plugged into the back of the unit via USB. Nothing wireless is included.

You could use bluetooth for the keyboard & mouse. That would only leave you with plugging in the monitor.

Use a Blue Tooth Device. I did find ONE, and only one, wireless keyboard and mouse that also worked through the USB port with an USB to OTG adaptor; the receiver plugged into the USB 2.0 side of the adaptor while the other end plugged into the USB port of the Mach Speed. The keyboard/mouse was sold under the Inland name. An attempt with a Logitech failed.

No it does not. The keyboard and mouse connect to a USB dongle via device drivers built into the components themselves. You do not need to have a wireless connection to use either the keyboard or the mouse.

Like other have mentioned, you can hook up a keyboard and mouse with the USB port, it also has bluetooth that works great that you can connect things with as well.

Hi Eimart, it only utilizes one (1) USB port because with the same USB dongle both keyboard and mouse are controlled. Regards...

Keyboard & mouse that come with it are wired...but there are 6 USB ports so you could use your own wireless ones. The keyboard does have gray letters which are difficult to see in low light.

Christopher...Unfortunately I am not a gamer so cannot speak first hand. But I wish I could get a screen shot of the App page on the TV...loads of games and access to the internet is oly dependent on your wifi connection speed. USB ports give you options for keyboards, etc. Go to a local retailer and try it out and ask all the questions you have.

It came with a keyboard (USB) and mouse (USB). If you want to go wireless keyboard/mouse you will have to buy them separately. Doesn't come with a monitor.

The keyboard and mouse aren't wireless, I don't know about the motherboard.
