Android tablets usually nowadays support multi function port. That means if you connect an OTG cable (available for $1-2) to the micro USB port and a USB keyboard on the other end you should be able to use the keyboard.

Are they Bluetooth keyboards? Because if so you need only go through the usual Bluetooth process to tie the keyboard to your device. Are they USB? In that case, unless your tablet includes a USB port, you're going to need to purchase an adapter for the job. I won't get into that here, because I'm certain it's totally different for every tablet and impossible for most. Just get a Bluetooth keyboard if this is something you want to do.
