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

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

Can someone please send me a link to the correct Y cable to buy so i can downgrade and flash custom roms. I see all these tutorials and things but I see different Y cables. One has two female end and one male and I see another that has micro USB cables on them. I just don't want to buy the wrong thing. Thanks.

Please read this...:good:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1597837
The easiest way is to make one... Buy 2 female USB to male USB cables. Connect them together so that there is 2 female ends and 1 male end.
1 female end is used to connect the SD card reader to the Y cable
The 2nd female end is used to connect the devices USB charging cable to the device and the Y cable
The male end is used to connect the Y cable to a power source, either the devices wall adapter or to a PC.
I made 2 Y cables and it only cost me like $4
Look at the Y cable picture in this thread, and it shows you how to connect the wires together... It's really easy! -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1676794
The other Y cables that you see with 1 female end and 2 male ends require a female USB adapter, so it's easier and cheaper to use the above Y cable.
I just saw these two USB OTG cables on ebay, thought I'd share it and see if anyone have tried it.
On EBay Search the following
PAIR left + right 90D Angled Micro USB B male to USB female Host OTG adapter
&
Micro USB OTG Host Cable with USB to Charge Galaxy S3 Siii i9300 S2 Note 2 II
Sorry I want to post an image for each of the items but still don't have the right for that yet. If anyone want to reply with the image it would be much appropriated.

it's not the same, these are more like adapter, the OTG cables on amazon are too long in my opinion
Do anyone know (or even try it)-if USB OTG work on P9Plus?
I've tried it with some USB-STick, on 3 microUSB-OTG-to-USB adapter and with 3 different USB-C on micro USB adapters (Anker,Aukey usw).
It don't work by me...With the same setup any adapters and stick on other USB-C phones and Tablets, those i've tried.
But on P9Plus-dont...Or i don't have a luck...Dont't know...
For any info about it i will be very thankfull.
Works fine for me using one of these cables from Amazon.
