I was given the original Kindle Keyboard Generation2, do I need a charger and a USB cord to hook it to the computer?

My new Kindle fire came with a USB cable that will plug into my computer. However I have not used it, but I did buy another long charger to use via the wall socket.

This charger does NOT connect the kindle to a computer. It's only for charging the kindle via a wall socket. You need a connector with a mini USB connection for the computer, not a wall charger for that. There are plenty of them available on Amazon.

I would demand a cord. Mine came with one. One end into the keyboard & one into my computer USB port.

Can the Kindle be charged via USB? If yes, then you have your answer. Just use the Kindle cord, plugged into one of the USB charger ports on the PowerDock, and you're good to go.

Yes, a USB charging cable is included. You charge the keyboard for 3-4 hours before your first use. Depending on the use, the charge may last up to 60 hours before recharging.

There is a micro USB connector on the right side of the keyboard, you need to plug in the charger there.

Yes, I usually recharge my keyboard at the same time I recharge my Kindle. It does not come with a charger but you can use the universal phone or Kindle charger.

No the kindle charger is a micro-USB and this takes a mini-USB. However. The base model should come with a charging cable.

You need a mini USB cable so you can charge the keyboard. It is very easy to find and purchase. You might search for "replacement usb cable for ...." (the name of your case). Hope this will help.

You mean for charging the tablet? Well the keyboard, you don't need a charger for it. Just plug it into the bottom of the tablet, and to charge it, you use the tablet charger. The keyboard has a slot for that to connect to by the way.

yes, there is a USB cable for recharge. You can just connect the keyboard to your laptop or PC or charger USB port by the cable, Please also check he package content. Thanks!

A USB to micro USB cable is included. You can plug it into the USB port on your computer or a 5 volt plug power converter that used for an iPhone or into a power strip that has a USB connector for charging. I use it every day all day long and must charge the keyboard about every 3 weeks. It takes about 3 hours to fully charge from zero charge.

Yes Adam, you should have received a cord that connects to a power supply. I got that when I purchased the cover. I love the keyboard...it really is so close to a real keyboard!! Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. Contact the seller to let them know.

What you see is the charging input that connects by USB like a phone charger. The keyboard does not have a USB port to plug a USB into. It's like the old blackberry charger port that uses USB cable to charge keyboard

The USB outputs are standard, just different amperages. The 2.4 amp port should charge a Kindle using your USB cable. From what I read the Kindle takes less than 2 amps. The 1 amp port should also charge the Kindle, just slower.

Not a problem. The Kindle is bluetooth enabled and the keyboard will connect directly to it. Super easy.

So what is the question? This charger cord has a usb end and a flat end. I got it to use on an original Kindle that I was given. It worked but I gave away the Kindle. It also works on a small Samsung camera that I was given that had no charger cord.

Yes you should be able to use the same USB charger for both. I have been able to use the same USB rapid charger for all my kindles.
