I've seen here that it is possible to enable keyboard feature on Arduino Uno so it can emulate a keyboard (send keystrokes to computer) like the Leonardo. They do it by updating ATmega16U2 firmware. But I bought a cheap arduino clone that uses CH340G instead of this chip. Is there any way to do the same with this chip? Can this even work on standard arduino uno?

Maybe you can find/write a c/c++ program for the PC that reads a COM port and sends it as keystrokes. The hardware is pretty much fixed in your project. Unless you use an Arduino with 32uX aa a serial/USB interface chip. – Paul May 12 '16 at 5:03
No. That chip can only act as a USB-UART bridge. You could use V-USB to turn the ATmega328P into a low-speed USB device, but the Arduino IDE has no support for that.
