I realize there is another thread about an OTG cable that does work with the Nexus 7, but after 3 or 4 posts, it has digressed into discussing what to plug into the OTG and what to use instead of OTG.
As I struggled to find any confirmation of a device I could buy in the UK that DID work with the Nexus 7, I thought I'd make this thread. At the same time, I also bought a USB OTG adapter that does NOT work with the Nexus 7, so thought I'd let you know of that one too. I would like to request that people use this thread to show USB OTG's that they have confirmed as working with the Nexus 7 and also those that do not work.
For those OTGs that are working, please indicate what tests you have done as well as where you purchased it (links please). Please try to refrain from discussing / recommending devices to plug into the USB OTG unless it's to say you have confirmed it as working with the USG OTG and Nexus 7.
DOES work with Nexus 7 -
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005FUNQXS/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
I can confirm that the following work on the Nexus 7 with this Adapter -
- USB Keyboard plugged into Adapter
- USB mouse plugged into Adapter
- USB mouse and USB keyboard plugged into (self powered) USB HUB, and HUB plugged into adapter
- USB Memory Stick (pendrive as some call them) as long as the Nexus 7 and Google Nexus are ROOTED and have a utility called StickMount installed (from Google Play Store)
- USB Dongle for Wireless Keyboard (with built in trackball), plugged into Adapter. Nexus 7 picks up both mouse and keyboard
I have confirmed that my wireless keyboard (with trackball) works great with this USB OTG Adapter
Does NOT work With Nexus 7 -

Motorola Camera Connection Kit cable. High quality, heavy duty, built to exacting specifications of the usb standards.
Sadly, runs about $19.xx and change.
If I didn't already have this one, I too would have randomly chosen one of the chinese knockoff cables that are only $2.xx.

Works with USB storage, keyboard and mouse.
Ordered two different USB-OTG cables from Amazon. Only the second one, SANOXY USB 2.0 Female to Micro USB Male OTG, has come in. Took 12 days from shipping confirmation email to end user delivery.
SANOXY Micro USB Host Mode OTG Cable Flash Drive SD T-Flash Card Adapter FOR Samsung GT-i9100 i9100 Galaxy S II 2 GT-N7000 Galaxy Note
SANOXY USB 2.0 Female to Micro USB Male OTG(On-The-Go) Cable Adapter for Samsung Galaxy s2 i9100
The SANOXY USB 2.0 Female to Micro USB Male OTG cable works fine. I've detailed my experiences in the External Storage Device Compatibility Review thread in this forum.
As I've mentioned in several other USB-OTG threads. The SANOXY USB 2.0 Female to Micro USB Male OTG cable I received is shorter than the one pictured at Amazon. See attached.

Yes there is. There are several threads in this forum as well as the Q/A and General forums related to USB-OTG cables,and what works and what doesn't with them. Just as there are multiple threads about the same case (Blurex for example) running in this forum. Just as there are several threads ongoing about POGO pins and the Dock accessory.
Give it a few days and someone else will start a new thread or two asking the same questions... :laugh:
This one works... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005M390S8/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00
But the micro USB connection is extremely loose and flimsy on my Droid 4, and on my Nexus 7.

this one is dirt cheap and should works too

I have that one and the fit is a little looser than I would like with the nexus 7 and slight nudge may make it lose the connection with the nexus 7, it doesn't completely fall off but just out enough to lose the connection . Maybe its because in essence you put the thing in backwards? It fits snugly in my galaxy s2.
Is yours the same?

Yes, and as i said in FP, after 4 or 5 posts, it diverted to discussing what to plug into the OTG. Also, this thread notifies of OTG cables NOT working with Nexus 7

Hi team!
I was looking to get some input from the forum members about creating an adapter for the nexus 7 that would be a male micro USB input that had 2 USB inputs and 1 female micro usb. The function would be to be able to use simultaneously, a mouse and keyboard while charging your tablet. Also obviously you can pair a mouse and keyboard to one BT node, so it could leave a USB input available for thumb drives, externals ect... Would you guys buy one? Whats on the list of accessories the nexus 7 needs and new models to come?
Thanks for the input.

Wouldn't a pogo pin adapter let you do the same thing? I know there would be a big market for that.

Whats a pogo pin adapter? And those are available already?
The pogo pins are the dots on the left side of the device. They can be used in a dock, which does not exist yet. I don't know if it's possible to make an adapter for the pogo pins that works without the help of gravity.
For your USB-only adapter users would need to root and flash a kernel that's capable of OTG charging (like the faux123 kernel). Normally the host device (Nexus 7) feeds the OTG-peripherals with power. It can't be charged over the same micro USB connector. After switching the kernel to OTG-charging and replugging the peripherals, the host device can be charged by your adapter.
Hi,
I bought an OTG cable for my nexus 7 last week and it was not being recognized by my Tab. I don’t know whether it’s a spoiled cable. I gonna to get my nexus 7 a new OTG cable. And I found 2 OTG cables that seem well. (OTG cable 1 and OTG cable 2). What do you guys think? It was a tough choice.
Does someone have another way to get it working before I order another new one.
Everything is appreciated
Thanks a lot.
IDK about those, but this one works perfectly for me...

Hello. Had my note 4 since release and just now trying to use usb host / otg and having no luck. Absolutely no devices are working on my note 4. Tried the otg adapter on my nexus 10 and its fine so unless there is a special adapter needed for the note 4 the otg cable is not the problem. I have tried a xbox controller a mous and a thumb drive and nothing not even led lights showing activation.
So any advice or is my usb port bad? Been using vanilla android for a while (nexus devices) is there a setting im not use to maybe?
solved
It appears my motorola otg is not compatable with the note 4. Tried a samsung otg and all works. Guess not all cables are equal?
No problem here. Using my old otg cable from my Note 2
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app
Maybe cause its samsung otg? Dunno either way i know my motorola otg (from xoom) does not work on my note but works on all my vanilla nexus devices. Either way got it working
my patriot stealth xt 64gb works perfect on my note4.
