You can also use a Type-C to USB connector/adapter. I use it on my phone fine, with a USB hub.

you can get an otg adaptor for as little as 33 cents through Ali express. we do better with an MHL HDMI adaptor and Bluetooth keyboard mouse.

That's what I thought, when stumbling over this!
Got mine for 1 eur at ebay.
That's nothing amazing or special - it's Linux! So, of course you can attach a mouse and even a keyboard on an android device! ;) Just every device which is supported by this Android linux derivate

If you don't have OTG, bluetooth stuff will work. I tried it once on my Motorola Defy+ with a Samsung smart TV's bluetooth keyboard (built in touchpad). Actually Android supports USB hub, if you don't have PS2 mouse and kb.

You should note that this only works on Androids that have OTG (On-The-Go) functioning. It is possible to do that on other Androids but you have to root the phone which can be a crapshoot and could possibly disable your phone if you make a mistake. Lots of info online.

First off, I don't have an OTG cable, but will get one. Second, What if I don't have a PS2 mouse and keyboard, can I just use 2 usb devices with a usb 1-to-2 splitter? Third, I looked in my settings and didn't see any "External Keyboard" settings. Is this because I don't have one currently connected, and therefore the setting option does not show up?
I like the idea, so I think I'm going to take this a step further and make a switch that changes my keyboard and mouse from the computer to the phone and back again.
Thanks for your help!
