Correct answer Monika Gause

InDesign cannot be used on the iPad at all.

In Illustrator you can use your keyboard and mouse as long as you get it connected.

Connecting is not an issue: here is my iPad with an old Windows keyboard:

This setup also works in Illustrator on the iPad. I have not tried Photoshop.

    You're welcome!

     

    What's important when you want to connect a USB keyboard (old USB type) is to get a connector that the iPad accepts. Not all of them work. But that is a general iPad or even Apple issue (since the same is true for Macbooks).
