You'd only need to connect the USB cable if you were using the K-Pod Utility app to update your pod's firmware or change its switch behavior. On the other hand, with future firmware (not committing to anything, yet!) the K-Pod should be able to emulate a mouse, keyboard, or some combination of these via its USB port. So you could use it as a general-purpose input device to control software applications.
