using a samsung tab s2 9.7 inch android tablet from 2016 with a bluetooth keyboard and a bluetooth mouse. i was curious about something. if i bought a usb 2 hub with 4 ports that also comes with a power adapter that has to be plugged in to a electric outlet, can i plug the tablet into the hub along with a full size usb keyboard and mouse and have it all work correctly?
 
Unfortunately there's no sure way of knowing with non-1st-party accessories. In theory they should work (again, as long as they don't need to draw power FROM the tablet), but if the manufacturer (read: cheap) changed anything or used cheaper materials, fluctuations in impedance or protocol mismatches might hinder the hub unusable on your tablet.

I HAVE used USB hubs on the Tab S2 before (when I had one) so I know it works, but that was with whatever hub I tried at the time (it was an unpowered one, too).
