Was planning on buying a Nexus 7 soon and wondered if my K750 wireless windows keyboard would work on the Nexus 7 (with the appropriate connections of course - micro usb to usb adapter).
I know there are android compatible bluetooth keyboards but seeing as i am already bringing this keyboard to school anyways this would make taking notes a bit easier (and save me $50 on a good bluetooth keyboard).

I have not seen anything that says whether a micro USB peripheral will work with the Androis OS. I have the Nexus 7 and a bluetooth keyboard and they work well. I think that if your keyboard was bluetooth it would work. but for any peripheral to work over the USB port I think that it would need a driver for the OS (fortunately blue tooth drivers are written and contained in the device).

I was thinking that would be the answer, now on to the next search, seeing if finding a 3rd party driver is possible

Just use ShareKM through your computer and choose bluetooth activation

probably it should work without any need of drivers, you only needs usb otg support and in rare case rooted android
