However you have more options to connect mouse and keyboard:
  • You can install Synergy app on kobo and use mouse and keyboard connected to your PC.
  • You can install xserver on your PC (like Xming for Windows) and export DISPLAY variable on kobo - all apps you start will open their windows on your desktop! I'm using that method to faster configure apps with a mouse than via touch and windows can have any size.
Can anyone confirm they either slaved their Kobo to a computer (with a keyboard and mouse) or they were able to attach an external keyboard to their Kobo? If you did, how did you do it, and how usable was it?
