Wireless Keyboard and/or mouse

Is there anyway to get a wireless keyboard/mouse working. I have a media center keyboard with trackball and nothing happens with just plugging in the USB.

Thats strange, I have plugged in many USB devices and have had no issues with them working, keyboard, mouse etc....are you on the newest firmware?

Yes, I am on the latest firmware but keep in mind I am talking about a wireless dongle for a wireless keyboard and not a usb keyboard. Are you using a wireless keyboard or mouse?

i have an old logitech wireless mouse - works goog, but klicking is a little bit hard to do - doubleklick and no good focus on the mouse.....maybe its my old mouse.....but in the german android-hilfe forums some users have the same issues...

A wireless dongle may either draw too much power or more likely require a funky driver. Does it require a special driver on a desktop system?
My suggestion would be to go with a Bluetooth keyboard, they seem to work well. I just got an Apple Bluetooth wireless keyboard lashed up to my A70 today.

Yeah, I imagine it's a driver issue alright. Probably needs a software package to get it running correctly.
I have a wireless keyboard with a built in trackpad that works perfectly. This one is similiar but not the same. I normally have it for my media pc, but it works so well with the archos that I am thinking of buying a new one just for it.
IMO, if you can find a wireless device that works with just plug 'n play on a linux box then there is a good chance that it will work with your Archos.

Good to know guys. I don't think a specific driver is required in windows. I will give it another go.

Thanks for the input guys. I had to insert the usb before booting up and it works. Sure makes typing much much faster. One question though, how do you scroll up and down in Dolphin or any other browser?

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.

Good luck,

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.

Galaxy Note Remote Desktop Teamviewer and usb keyboard mouse

Hi
As title stated I am just planning to use galaxy note as a device that let me control my bussiness pc even work as office.
There is only one video which is very good example of this on youtube
but ı want to know your experience.
My aim is that
1- Use galaxy note teamviewer to reach bussiness server and wake on line my personel bussiness computer
2- use galaxy note as a remote desktop connect it to a monitör with hdmı cable so that now ı am on vocation and using asus n1215 if this can happen ı am no longer bring this netbook with me. Insteead o this ı will buy a montör and use only galaxy note.
3- use microsoft wireless usb mouse and keyboard by connecting usb cable to galaxy note
If this is possible then every bussiness man no longer have to bring their little computers with them
I am really looking for your answers.

I would like to do this with LogmeIn as well. But I think there is something you should conciser.
You are planning to use a USB mouse and keyboard? The HDMI connector would take up the Notes single port, so unless you have the right splitter, and the Note works with that splitter, I think you will need a bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
I just hope that the App works with the mouse HID drivers. I tried this with my Jailbroken iPhone with BT Mouse stack and the app would not recognize the mouse pointer.

why not bluetooth KB & mouse?
KB: I use Logitech KB for Android
Mouse: MS 5000k
They both work flawlessly.

because Bluetooh keyboard and mouse are more expensive then usb.
In additon to this ı use Nokia N8 now and ı tried microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse by connecting usb device to nokia n8 and it works properly.
I hope galaxy note will be the my final smart phone and ı could use it all daily work activities.

If the soul purpose is to control work PC, why not get VPN to the office and use a proper laptop?
On Topic : I used teamviewer with Galaxy S II to help a friend and it was great.
When I get the note in 5 days, I can perform this experiment for you.

I am really looking forward for your teamviewer experiment thanks.
Please let us know teamviewer performance of galaxy note

I use both Teamviewer and PocketCloud for remote connections to my computers. I use both on my GTab 8.9 and my SGS2. Spend the extra money on bluetooth KB/Mouse; it's the ONLY way you will be able to use both AND still use MHL for external display. On that note (no pun intended), both clients display at handset's native resolution for anything except for video. So, no matter what display you use (even 1080p display) you're still going to be "limited" to 1280*800 in your remote client (which really isn't that bad when you consider, that's basically laptop resolutions!).
Another thing worth mentioning is that Android doesn't really have a "right-click," so you're not going to be able to click your right mouse button in your RDP client and get a right-click response. Just FYI.

aside from this, are there any remote desktop apps for android that does not use any client-side..clients? everything i've seen so far needs to have a client installed on the pc

You can have right click depending on the app - Splashtop has long press left mouse button perform a windows right click for example.

I just saw the Galaxy Note at work today and omg what an awesome phone. I understand now that we have changed generations. This is really next gen! The display is incredible!
Anyway, it struck me as well. With the resolution beeing really close to the 1366x768 resolution on my computer. Im excited to know how this works! And if you already got it, congrats!

Interested to know which other apps work with keyboard/mice - Splashtop is the only one I've found that does (but been a while since I tried the others).

I've used Team Viewer a couple of times with my Note and I've even connected a bluetooth mouse to it, whats worth noting is that you will have 3 mouse cursers going on at once when using Team Viewer and a mouse connected to your phone, the mouse will have a curser and the Team Viewer will have a curser and then the client computer will have a curser. And you can't just click with your mouse and control the client mouse, you have to click and drag the Team Viewer mouse to move the client mouse. Left mouse button will click as normal once your Team Viewer mouse/client mouse is in position but right mouse button will function as the back button and try to close the app down, however, there is a mouse button on screen along the bottom that acts as a right mouse button. Hope this makes sense and is helpful!

Sounds awful, that's why I use Splashtop now.

A bluetooth mouse and/or keyboard should do the trick. Just pair them like with an audio device. At least that's what I heard, didn't test it.

[Q] Pairing controller with Android

Is it possible to pair the Nexus Player ASUS controller with any Android device? I mean is it a general Bluetooth controller one could use for gaming on a tablet, phone, like any other Bluetooth gamepads out there?

You should be able to over Bluetooth which is how it connects tot he NP. I known that emulators support controllers so why not give it a try? If you don't have the NP I'll try it and let you know

My controller successfully gets connected with my phone and my laptop. Just press the home and back button together for a few seconds to get it to pairing mode and the simply pair it via bluetooth.

I don't have a NP, it doesn't seem to be good enough to order (have a Chromecast), with the limited memory and stuff. But the Gamepad looks so cool, I thought why not get it for my Android games? Wanted to have a Bluetooth gamepad anyways for some time...

A normal windows laptop with Bluetooth

What edition of windows? I couldn't see available for pairing it on my MSI GT70 with Windows 8.1 64-bit. Other devices pair just fine.

I got it to pair on my laptop. But the buttons and pads aren't mapped correctly, e.g. it didn't work on Steam Big Picture or on any games. It's stuck going top-right. I assume they have the triggers mapped on the wrong axis. If anyone knows a way to remap the buttons, d-pad and sticks, I'd try it again. And it connected perfectly with my phone (Oneplus One.) I didn't test every button, wouldn't know how. Was able to remap some of them in MAME4Droid.

I paired the np remote with my nexus 6 and have an issue, when using it in Kodi, the select button ( the big center round one) does not do anything, any ideas?

I couldn't pair it with my G4, any tips?
