The issues relating to USB Host mode on the M96 discussed in this thread have since been resolved (if, alas, not in favour of host mode) by this informative post from Booxtor:

This obviously caused complains by users.
IMHO Bluetooth keyboards or gamepads /klicker are better alternative. Currently demand for USB host mode on Onyx devices is quite low. Until now I got probably not more than 3-5 requests for it. In case it will be really demanded I could ask for special series with enabled USB Host.
