Can I use my keyboard connected to my PC with my phone?

[dexter2]

I want to use my keyboard (connected to my pc [Windows 8.1] via USB) on my smart phone (Microsoft Lumia 535.) I want to know if there's any way possible to do this as I am tired of using my smartphone screen keyboard and having to unplug my phone from my PC every 5 mins. Please help me out,

Um, what?

1) Are you saying that you don't have more USB ports to charge your phone from, so you've been unplugging the keyboard?
2) Or are you saying you want a keyboard to type on for your phone?

If it's 1, get a USB hub (although I really doubt your PC has a single USB port). If it's 2, get a bluetooth keyboard.

USB OTG cable should allow you to plug the keyboard directly into the smartphone (I am not sure about Windows phones, but it works on Androids).

Sorry, I haven't made it very clear have I? Basically, No. 2 but, is it possible to do No. 2 when using a USB keyboard connected to the PC and the phone connected to the PC via USB?

You would need to adapt the keyboards USB plug to fit the Phones USB port. Or just buy a Bluetooth keyboard and us that with your phone.
