do the touchpads work such as this one
http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Touc...1028/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1311788822&sr=8-2
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.

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.

Is anybody using a usb keyboard and mouse combo with your Iconia?
I have been thinking about picking this one up:

I am not sure if it will work. Yesterday I used a similar wireless keyboard and it worked but it was a different brand.
I seen a nice small keyboard at best buy and for a mouse i use my handy smandy logitech trackball......;-}
That will most likely work.but there are some android keyboards out there with function buttons for android.I have a solidtek mini keyboard with track pad like on notebook. It works very well and solid built spill resistant.with 3.1 mouse works as well its Bluetooth as well.good Luck

I am using a USB hub on my Iconia to connect the keyboard folio case listed on Amazon for the Iconia and a USB mouse, and it works flawlessly. It turns my Iconia into a netbook!
I am int he market for a bluetooth mouse and keyboard that will be compatable with the acer a500 but I don't want to break the bank. Can someone recommend a BT keyboard and mouse? If there are any bundle deals out there that would work with the a500 then I'm all for it.
BT keyboard and mouse
I found that the Logitech keyboard for my ps3 works great with no setup. Even the built in mousepad works great and I think I paid $50 for it last year. It even works on my Mac mini.
Best deal and nice feel since it is right and full size..
Hope that helps.

Thanks for the reply . I ended up getting the logitec tablet keyboard for android and Microsoft bluetooth notebook mouse 5000. They work great together and look good too .
Feels like im on a laptop lol.
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 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.

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

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