Question 1

Can you use a keyboard and mouse on these?

Accepted Answer

Yes, they have USB ports and support most keyboards and mice. SteamOS is built on Linux.

You can also wipe the OS and install a more fully featured Linux with no problems. Mine is running Ubuntu, and plays Steam games just as well as it could on SteamOS.

Question 2

Can you hook this up to a monitor and use it for gaming such as: Minecraft, terraria, etc...?

Accepted Answer

That is what is made for. But the monitor must have HDMI port.

Question 3

Is this device VR ready?

No. The current minimum specs for VR gaming on PC require roughly a GTX 970 and a modern i7 processor. This machine runs off of an i3 and a GPU similar to the 860m.
