Using USB ? Nope, as as far as I know you can't change its USB "master"
mode into "client" mode (as the Pi Zero can). Though, as mentioned, you could always look at some extra hardware perhaps emulating an USB keyboard
at one side and getting fed with 7 bits + strobe, I2C or SPI..
Alternatively, the PiKVM software allows the Pi to be a USB keyboardExcuse me please, I am not a native english speaker.
and supply keystrokes from a browser window.

I understand the words but not the meaning: supply keystrokes from a
browser window? You mean I start a firefox with Linux and type into its canvas?

That fully depends on how you want to connect it to the other device.

at one side and getting fed with 7 bits + strobe, I2C or SPI..
Using Bluetooth ? Possibly, but you would need to be able to set it up in "client" mode (which actually initiates the connection). If that is not possible you could take a peek at the multitude of (very cheap) BlueTooth modules that you can buy.
Using a PS/2 or even older Philips 5-pin plug ? Possibly, as the 400 /should/ be fast enough to drive the pins by way of its own I/O pins.
RS232 ? Yep, the 400 has got four hardware drivers.

You are absolutely right. I did not think about that.

... which the Pi400 has, being a keyboard with an internal 4GB Pi 4 and
what looks like all Pi 4 interfaces connected to sockets on its rear edge.
Ah. Missed that. Seems an expensive way to make a cheap keyboard.
That fully depends on how you want to connect it to the other device.
you should have stopped there, as that's the only thing you said
that's not wrong, largely because it's meaningless.
false. it can easily be done, and without any additional hardware.
details in another post.

up in "client" mode (which actually initiates the connection). If that
is not possible you could take a peek at the multitude of (very cheap)

this is also false. bluetooth is certainly an option, also without any additional hardware.

/should/ be fast enough to drive the pins by way of its own I/O pins.
ps/2? hah. 1990 wants you back.
RS232 ? Yep, the 400 has got four hardware drivers.
that's even more hilarious. perhaps 1990 is not far enough. you might
also want to learn about how rs-232 actually works, because it needs
more than 'four hardware drivers'. just sayin'..

As always, not underbuild or explained, and as such absolutily meaningless.

The only thing I

But you just could not pass up
a chance to bash me and make it sound as if that invalidates everything I said there.
And by the way, I have no problem with taking Theos and that randomnerdtutorials.com websites word for it that it actually does exist.
I do not even have the urge to double-check it.
In contrast I would not even believe you if would tell me that the sun comes up in the east.

I thought it was a good idea to make the OP (and respondants) aware that there are more ways to do what he asked for. You know, giving options.

You obviously have no idea what I ment with "hardware drivers" in this context, but that didn't stop you drom jumping to the (percieved) chance to again bash me with it.
Suggestion : find yourself the specs of the 400 and check out its RS232 capabilities. Than compare it to what the Pi 3 range offers, and see if you can spot the difference.

it was explained in another post, which you are deliberately ignoring.

actually, you're not. you're not even close.
the solution is very simple, with only a usb cable needed.
The only thing I

you missed quite a bit more than that, nor is that even relevant.
you invited it by saying things that had little to no validity.

there are some people who have seen the sun rise in the west.
maybe you can figure out how it happened, although i doubt it.

no, it's because you don't like when you're cornered and your claims
shown to be nonsensical or flat out false.
that's fine, except you neglected to mention any options that
would actually work and be helpful to the op.
nothing more than a lot of word-salad to make it look like you
know what you're talking about (and you don't).
Its always easy to bash someone with something /someone else/ came up
with, isn't it.
it's easy when it's wrong and unhelpful.
if it's correct, then no bashing is needed.
only thanks.
not applicable here.

that's a start.

because it consists of 95 percent water and yet is a dry powder.
"forgetting" about the first part of what you quoted yourself just makes
you
look stupid - or someone who doesn't let details like that stop him from

nothing has been forgotten.
it's clear that you don't actually know how one would turn a pi
400 into a bluetooth keyboard.
ps/2? hah. 1990 wants you back.
Arrogance has called, it want to fight you to get their lost title back.
Kid, its about what the *OP* might want or need, not you.
where did you get the idea i wanted anything?
the fact is that usb has been around for more than 20 years.
if he wanted ps/2 (or rs-232 for that matter), he would have said so.
You obviously have no idea what I ment with "hardware drivers" in this
context, but that didn't stop you drom jumping to the (percieved) chance
to
again bash me with it.
you're assuming facts not in evidence again.
not that it matters since the likelihood that he wants an rs-232
keyboard is zero.
nospam has taken a dislike to me,
Please take it to email.
The rest of us aren't interested in the same old protagonists having
endless arguments about whether black is white.

Funny how even the first line of your quoted tells you not once but
*twice* that its "dry". The word "wet" doesn't appear /anywhere/ in that same article.
druck,
Please take it to email.
How ? You've obviously not checked both his and my email addies.
Besides, giving ones email address to random entities, especially ones that do not like you, is wrought with problems, none of which I desire to have.

Than set the subthread between nospam and myself to hidden. Problem solved.
And oh, the next time you want to complain about something, do yourself a favour and /at least/ check out what is going on.

Point taken, perhaps I should have suggested shoving this up your
collective rear-ends instead.
Everyone here can see what is going on, you've made your point, now stop feeding the troll.
Maybe people who hide their email address, feel they can be an arse with impunity. I'm also continually amazed at the TRIVIA that people can get
wound up about.

Except having to regularly block copious volumes of argumentative

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I just realized something from the above : is the reason you are responding to me (and not nospam) because my post is the only one you're seeing ? He's already been put in the doghouse by you and others ?I am certainly not seeing his posts.
But, if you think so you only have to prove, underbuild or even just explain why none of the ones I mentioned will work - which you never will. You simply do not have that kind of knowledge.

The whole problem is that I *cannot* have an argument (discussion) with nospam, because he won't /ever/ give me anything specific that could be the basis of a discussion. Just a never-ending stream of "you're wrong" /
"you don't know anything" claims, never underbuild.
You don't need to take my word for that either

I'm sure I cannot. Maybe you could explain it ? It would be a small step for mankind if you did.
i provided a link that turns a pi 400 into a keyboard, *exactly* what
was requested,
what do you think 'dry' means?
hint: dry = not wet.

i did. do try to keep up.

that's false. i've provided a lot of specifics in various threads,
with references when appropriate, which you either do not understand
and think it means something different or you just ignore it.
Yes:
Install the distro from https://pikvm.org/ onto an SD card
Power it up in your Pi

Thanks, that's a cool project. I just wathced the video they linked. If had known about this, my colleagues had been able to save a lot of money isntead of buying KVM switches from Dell.
