As I understand it, an external keyboard and mouse can be hooked up to the Archos 7 Home Tablet. I'm trying to do this but my attempts aren't working.

I purchased a fold-able USB keyboard and a USB travel mouse. Since basically no device comes with a USB connector that will go into the Archos mini port, I figured an adapter would be in order. I got one and set it up as follows:

Achos 7 connects to the mini side of the USB adapter. The other side goes into a small USB hub. The mouse and keyboard go into other ports in the hub.

I'm not genius but it seems to me that this should work. What if anything am I missing? What if anything do I need to do differently?
 
You need an OTG adapter. I got 4 from digital extreme for under $5. Haven't tested with keyboard and mouse yet but it should work with the right drivers.
