I am very bad on using the touchscreen panel for programming.  
I need a mouse and a keyboard to program a robot.  
How can I do that?

Depends how you want to do it, however an easy way is to just get a bluetooth key board with a mouse pad and plug the dongle into the teach pendant. Otherwise there are ways to connect your laptop but i’ve never worked it out so someone else may be able to help you with that.

As @jarrah.l states get a blue tooth keyboard and mouse are probably the quickest way to help program and navigate. **Note: the keymap is Danish so some keys are in different locations and some keys might be dead**. There is also a VNC magic file you can use to remote into the UR (search VNC remote communication in forum to find the thread) use at your own risk because I’m not sure UR has confirmed this as a solution.

The VNC is working fine.  
I´m working on the UR (10e) via VNC.
