I have a Likebook Mimas, which I think differs from the Mars only in screen size, and I tried to connect a USB keyboard (well, actually
a combination bluetooth and USB one) after the discussion in the
E-ink typewriter thread. It didn't work over the USB connection (with or without toggling the connection mode, apparently a workaround for Android 6 OTG bug) on the Mimas, so I don't think OTG works on the Likebook Mars or Mimas, though I would be be glad to hear if there is someone who can share their experience to prove otherwise!
However ... the Jellycomb keyboard worked fine via USB on my Mac, and via Bluetooth on my Mimas, so I'm still happy with it. The mouse pointer from the built-in trackpad on that keyboard lags a lot on the e-ink screen on the Mimas, but is just about useable.
