It is great to have you back and your patience is greatly appreciated.
There is no such cable or connector available from HP to connect the keyboard and the tablet. However, you can purchase 3rd party keyboards which you can connect to the tablet and use them.
Hope that answers your question and you have a great day!

Welcome to the HP Forums!
Thank you for posting your query on this forum, it's a great place to find answers.
Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.
You can disable tablet mode on the computer and then you can use the keyboard.
Here is how it is done.
- Click Settings on the Start Menu.
- Select System.
- Select Tablet mode in the left pane. A Tablet mode submenu appears.
- Toggle "Make Windows more touch-friendly . . ." to on to enable Tablet mode. Toggle it off to go to desktop mode.
- Select "Don't ask me and always switch" from the "When this device automatically switches" menu if you want Windows 10 to switch modes on your 2-in-1 without prompting you.
Let me know how it goes and you have a great day!

I want to detach the tablet unit and the keyboard unit. Seperate them. Flip my tablet to portrait position.
With an external connector cable (that is my question) I want to connect the tablet and the keyboard unit.
