Nice work guys! Is it possible to use Pi400 as keyboard using USB Type A, keeping the Type C connected to power supply? It would be perfect for my needs

USB OTG can only run on the USB-C port. There are designs out there that allow you to plug a data cable in separately from a power cable, e.g. https://elmorlabs.com/product/usb-c-power-data-switch-for-raspberry-pi-4/
