The 84+/SE already have USB support. You can use a USB keyboard from within the TI-OS using USBTools (downloadable from usb8x.sourceforge.net), and usb8x has a mouse API you can access (and DoorsCS has a USB mouse addon).

Did you mean connecting an 84+/SE and Nspire together? Nspire8x for the 84+/SE can do that, though it hasn't yet been fixed to work with OS 2.x and above.

And there's USB support on the 89T as well, because it has the same controller as the 84+(SE), thanks to the work of ExtendeD, and most recently, the very BrandonW ;)

Haha !
I imagine myself at an exam, taking my mouse and my keyboard out of my bag :P

Awesome :D

Wired.

If wireless it's against your exam rules :D

Almost undoubtedly, but it's a task for later, and possibly other persons: ExtendeD doesn't have a CX CAS to develop on :)

Wow!  I can't wait to see the possibilities that can result from this! :)

Wait, is USB8x now available for 68K calcs too? I don't remember seeing anything like this for them yet...

The program created by BrandonW is called Linky. Its feature set is different from that of USB8x: it can turn the 89T into e.g. a HID mouse, a HID keyboard, a mass storage device (BrandonW booted some Linux-based binary from it), a PL2303-based serial adapter.

I did use the HID mouse, HID keyboard and PL2303 serial adapter capabilities in the real world, on several PCs at home and at work. The HID mouse + keyboard enabled me to install remote control software on an embedded ARM board, at work: as a result, we could start working on that board before buying a male mini-A <-> female A USB cable (the board only has mini-A/B ports) required to plug a hub, and regular keyboard / mouse, to the board.
There aren't any really special characters (accented letters, mostly) in my post, I could have typed it (or near-arbitrary C/C++ source code) from the 89T running Linky :)

[EDIT the next day to make "There aren't any special characters in my post" more accurate. I meant that I added support for quite a number of non-alphanumeric characters to Linky, which makes it quite a versatile keyboard emulator.
My implementation of several multi-modifier key combos is far from perfect, but anyhow, there's no way a ~50-key keyboard can provide a perfect emulation of a 105-key keyboard.]

Oh, right, that one. I should check his site for it. I wasn't sure anymore if anything was released, especially considering 68K is almost dead.
