I want to know if it is possible to use the keyboard library with the ESP32 but I have not found information regarding that ---

No, that library is for board with ATmega32u4 or SAMD MCUs. With ESP32 you could easily implement a BLE HID device, check a tutorial like [this](https://www.hackster.io/user0448083246/esp32-ble-hid-keyboard-37a103) for example. edit: The [library](https://github.com/T-vK/ESP32-BLE-Keyboard) used in the example ---

But I have problems when connecting the esp32 via Bluetooth and I wanted to see if it was possible to do it via USB. use BLE keyboard library but connection fails ---

I wanted to use the ESP32 in this case because I don't have Arduino nano ---

> [@xsuertuo](#): > > I wanted to see if it was possible to do it via USB. It's possible for sure, but not with the USB port used for flash programming: that port is connected to an USB/TTL converter. You need to emulate a HID device. After a quick googling, I've found [this library](https://github.com/chegewara/EspTinyUSB) which should do what you are looking for. ---

With this I will be able to use the ESP32 in a USB keyboard? or will it still continue via bluetooth? ---
