can you use any wireless keyboard and mouse in the usb slot to control it or do only some of them work?

I bought a cheap usb hub and have used wired mouse and keyboard. Not sure if wireless works. I do know blue tooth mouse and keyboard work.

I don't know about "any," but I can report that my Logitech Wireless Touch Keyboard K400 works fine. - Tom

I have a usb wireless mouse & keyboard both work w/o a hiccup. I also have Bluetooth mouse & keyboard; they don't work very well at all. Frequently have to "wake" them up & after about a half-hour they time-out completely. I switched to usb wireless & haven't had an issue, yet (after about 2 years of constant use). If you're running Windows 7 on it, I recommend upgrading to Windows 8. It fixes 95% of the issues w/ this machine. Windows 7 is notorious for having issues loading drivers. Under Windows 7, my pen, printer & Wacom tablet drivers wouldn't load and/or would have glitches. This is on several different machines not just my Asus. Once I upgraded to Windows 8 (it was only $14 at the time), all those problems went away. If you're using Windows 8 already, maybe just double check your peripherals do actual work on another machine & try loading the drivers manually from the mouse manufacturer's site. Also, loading the Windows updates from the Microsoft site may help. Best of luck. Hope it works. I love my Asus Slate.

It looks like the collective answer to your question is both wireless mice and keyboards work with the switch. You may need to do some pairing, but I've switched without a problem quite a few times.

No, there's one USB plug that works both the mouse and keyboard. It clips to the back of the mouse when you're not using it.

If you mean a keyboard/mouse that uses the little USB dongle, then yes (I currently do). There are no loadable device drivers, it either is compatible or it's not. You can hook a USB printer to one of the three USB slots and will more than likely work (though not full functionality), however a WiFi printer I think will work better (via Google Cloud Print).

Any USB keyboard and mouse will work. You can then add a bluetooth dongle an pair bluetooth keyboards and mice if you like.

Mouse and keyboards work...gamepads work...usb flash drives and hard drives are very hit and miss

Yes. I am using a wireless keyboard and mouse from Logitech mk560. Only need one USB to support both keyboard and mouse.

Yes. The keyboard/mouse is electronically matched to the USB transmitter, whether hardwired or thru software with the unifying process with those units using the configurable wireless technology. Probably one could design a way to maliciously configure the unifying units to create a problem situation, but you would have to work at it.

Any usb keyboard will work, I personally use a wireless keyboard that had a usb dongle so I can sit in my couch.

Any type of USB keyboard should work. However, the Logitech k400 wireless keyboard with built in mouse is an excellent choice.

you need a usb mouse and keyboard (rectangular connector), not the old kind with the round connectors

I've had mine for quite a while with various wireless mice and keyboards without a problem. I do not have the USB-dongle for my mouse and keyboard plugged into the USB ports in the monitor, however.

The mouse and keyboard use the same USB receiver you can use the mouse seperately as long as you have the receiver.

You're right, a USB mouse and keyboard can usually be connected on a single port via a hub or wireless adapter. Perhaps separate connections are required to support the virtual mouse and keyboard features.

I just got the Logitech K400 and it seems to work OK. I chose that one because it has a built in touch pad. I think almost any wireless USB keyboard will work

Yes, at the back end of the stick you can use the USB slot to plug in a combo keyboard and mouse, it is what I use. I got a great deal here on Amazon for one.
