HP Chromebox - Manual (Page 12)

2 Using an optional keyboard and mouse
Connecting an optional external keyboard and mouse will allow you to type, select items, scroll and to
perform other functions. The keyboard also allows you to use action keys and hot keys to perform
specific functions.
TIP: HP recommends using a Chrome-compatible keyboard with your device. Keyboards not
compatible with Chrome may not offer the same action key functionality. To find a Chrome-
compatible keyboard, go to www.hp.com .
