Bluetooth Mouse?

Can I use a Bluetooth mouse for my EEE Pad Transformer?
If so, any suggestions as to which one to get?
Thanks!!
Oh and one other question.. with the dock can you use a wireless mouse (i.e. plugin the dongle into the dock usb port)?

Yes you can. I've been using my Microsoft mini notebook mouse which is just straight bluetooth (doesn't even come with a dongle) - worked absolutely fine right off the bat.
My only issue is that the moment is a bit slow for my liking, and there's no setting to change the cursor movement speed.

Apple Magic Mouse should work fine..

If you want a cheap option and have a Fry's nearby I've found that this Inland bluetooth travel mouse works great with the Asus Transformer. The catch being that it didn't work a bit prior to the 3.1 OTA upgrade but after that it's been working great. It's a nice portable size and pretty adequate for as much as I use it.

I bought cheapest bluetooth mouse out there (the producer is Manta or sth like that) and it work fine, very fine.

I am using my Logitech mini mouse from my Laptop and pluged into the USB it works fine.. I am thinking that a Bluetooth mouse would be kinda nice though..

Has anyone managed to get a bluetooth mouse to work just with the pad,i.e no dock involved at all? I ask as I have a very fancy ms bluetooth mouse but my TF wont see it as it hasn't got the drivers which are added to my laptop which , obviously, are designed for windows and not android..not sure how to get around this issue short of buying the dock and just plugging into the usb with a cheapo corded mouse which kinda defeats the object of what I'd like to do

I'm using the least expensive one I could find, a Gigabyte I got from Newegg. Turns out it's nicer than any other bluetooth I've tried. I got it to use with the pad and it pairs and works fine with or without the dock connected.
There are no drivers for android for any mouse, so as far as I know there's no way to map the buttons. There is however a setup section for the mouse where you can adjust the cursor speed.
edited to add: doh! - I just noticed how old this thread is. I had done a search and this was near the top. I guess I forgot where I was.

Doesn't work for me.

wireless kb touchpad work?

do the touchpads work such as this one

I don't think so, it says it uses a USB receiver, so it would need software to activate that receiver. Best is to stick with a Bluetooth keyboard. With Bluetooth, you don't need a USB Dongle/Receiver. I'm using a Bluetooth Motorola Xoom Keyboard with my Acer A500, works fine. A couple things dont work on it, like mute and the Music shortcut, but that can be livable. Acer has a BT Keyboard, that I might think of getting if it's cheaper off Ebay.

I think it will work just fine I have a cheep USB keyboard and mouse that use there own USB reciever.the touch pad is nothing more then a mouse.I also have a keyboard with built in touchpad solidtek brand Bluetooth it works well also

Can anyone recommend a bluetooth mouse that will work with the Acer A501???

I am looking for a bluetooth mouse that will work with the iconia a501. Anyone have one to recommend? Will any bluetooth mouse work?
Thanks,
Kevin

I already had a Microsoft 5000 mouse... had to pair it a couple of times before it would work, kept saying paired but not connected. About the third try it worked, I knew it should as there was a video on youtube showing that exact mouse working...
No idea if all nice work.

Blue tooth mouse
The Microsoft 5000 is the only mouse I could get to work on my A500.

So how did you get the Microsoft 5000 mouse to connect? I just received mine, it will pair, but never connect???
Thanks,
Kevin

Logitech Anywhere MX is running without problems.

Yeah, my Logitech Anywhere MX works fine too but, it's not bluetooth. Have to use the USB dongle. Clearly a full bluetooth one is best.
I've also gotten an older Logitech USB cordless mouse (which is being replaced by the Anywhere MX) also worked as well as a generic Dell USB keyboard.
Only problem I have is that the cursor on the screen is very difficult to see if your background is dark like mine is. The cursor is black surrounded by a thin blue outline and I can hardly see it.

I still can not get the mouse to connect. It is paired, but not connected. Is there anything else I need to do to get this thing to work?? Anyone???
Thanks,
Kevin

Most any BT mouse should work. I paired a cheapo Bluetooth mouse I bought off ebay and a Razer Orichi.

I have a Microsoft 5000 and it pairs and connects perfectly without any kind of trickery. Maybe your ROM is just picky? Which version of Honeycomb are you running? Official mouse support didn't come until 3.1 (there was a custom script for USB mice in 3.0 however)

Mine is running stock rom, only rooted. It is 3.01. Is there a way to get the mouse to work with it?
Thanks,

Logitech V470 works like a charm. Found and paired at the first try.

my Logitech MC Revolution 5500 KB/Mouse are connecting nicely. but not sure how many people actually wanna spend that much on a set. (159.99 usd)

I'm running kekinash's custom ROM and I use Apple's Magic Mouse (don't ask, long story).

Another vote for the Microsoft 5000

I have the Logitech bluetooth keyboard for PS3 with the integrated touchpad and it pairs up and works just fine. Too bad the keyboad is bigger tha the a500! I'm running Taboonay rom.

My a4tech g7 - 540 works fine, but it's too big to be portable.

Subscribing to be up-to-date on this.
Another useful info would be posting if these keyboard/mice (specially mice) that work can use its scroll wheels and/or touch capabilities (if any).

I had no problems whatsoever with my hp touchpads bluetooth keyboard paring and using a microsoft mouse and dongle. No setup at all for the mouse when using the usb dongle, the touchpad keyboard was easily paired like any bt device.

Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 - pairs, works no problem, speed and scrolling all fine.
Leicke Sharon Aluminium Keyboard for Samsung Smartphones & Tablets - pairs but doesn't work, connection is constantly lost leading do buffering of the input and autorepeat.

I was able to plug in my Logitech Mx revolution wireless keyboard pc and mouse dongle. It picked it up and works with clockworkmod. so not even a need to buy a Bluetooth keyboard. I have several though.

The Motorola bt keyboard and mouse for tablets works great. Had them for a year or more already.

As cheap as it is this keyboard/mouse combo has worked for me. It's a little bit of a pain to get the mouse to pair correctly but it worked eventually.

I've been using the PS3 KeyPad with no issues. I recommend this Bluetooth keyboard because it sits nicely over the face of the PS3 controller and looks really sleek!

I've Googled around on how to get the PS3 Keypad to work and I haven't been able to find anything except how to connect the PS3 controller. I've tried pairing the Keypad the same as the controller and it did not work. Do you have a link on where it explains how to pair the PS3 Keypad? Your help would be greatly appreciated

Apple magic mouse, keyboard, and trackpad all work for me, simultaneously. has anyone noticed, though, that reception is horrible? especially outside of 5 feet?

How did you manage to get yours to work. Mine connects to my Apple bluetooth keyboard, but nothing happens after that.

Logitech TV730 Mini Keyboard works with FireTV!

Mouse mode too!
This is awesome! I had read that the FireTV worked with some Logitech keyboards. I had a Logitech mini keyboard that I originally bought to use with my Logitech Revue. The mini keyboard is really sweet with a small touch pad that works in mouse mode. The post stating that a Logitech diNovo keyboard worked said that the mouse didn't. This initially lead me to believe that my mini keyboard was the one referred to here, but I now think not.
Anyhow, I tried and tried to get it paired via BT. I even side-loaded the standard Settings app and tried pairing it that way, but no dice. Tonight, I wondered if I could get it to work with my Mac. It came with a "Unifying" dongle that I had tried plugging into the FireTV with no success. I downloaded the Unifying software for my Mac and plugged the dongle in. It mentioned something about pairing (don't remember what exactly), so I paired my mini keyboard and was happy to see both the keyboard and mouse portion working just fine. Then I wondered to myself "Gee… I wonder if it’s linked to this dongle now, and will it work if I plug it into my FireTV"... So, I moved the dongle to my FireTV and was shocked! Right away, the arrows worked, and when I put it in mouse mode and touched the pad, I had a circle on the screen following my finger movement! And the Home button on it takes you back to the Home screen, like it was made for FireTV!
This really opens up using the many apps out there that are written with only for touch interfaces! I was able to navigate Xfinity TV Go from across the room using only this mini keyboard... At the moment, you can still get these through Amazon for $49.99 (though I'm new here and can't link to it - Search for "Logitech Mini Controller for Logitech Revue and Google TV" if you want one).

how does the keyboard function within xbmc?

I use a logitech k360 wireless keyboard with my ftv and it works great, also flawless with xbmc.

I'm not a big XBMC user, but it has worked fine when I've used it. Played a show on it last night and when I hit the button marked with the stop icon, (when the menu was overlaid on the video), and the video stopped...
So far, I've mostly used it for apps that are built for touch screen (like Xfinity's TV app).

I just started using the K400R. So far everything seems to be great. I have not tried the multimedia keys yet though. The mouse/touchpad works great as well.

I've the same MK360 combo but am unable to get a USB connection since the FTC OS was changed a few weeks ago. Are you still getting a connection? I'm not sure what really changed from limited connectivity to zero. Thanks for ideas ....

I know your post is 3 years old, but I'm wondering if you were able to "click" using the trackpad or mouse key on the TV730 with your Mac. I can pair mine, and typing as well as some other keys work, but I'm not able to click to choose anything.
