Using USB mouse..

Have anyone tried to find a mouse that will work on the mini usb port ?
Cheers Kim

First we need to confirm if the Universal supports hosting functionality! And then find a mouse which works
San

Does it need to be a host ?, I thought you could get away with a less suport to drive a mouse..
I have tried a desktop extender app, wich used the universal screen as 2. monitor, would assume that is more complicated than drivibg a mouse.

I have a friend whom tried a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard which works well on PPC.

Stowaway bt mouse and keyboard work well with the Universal

With that application, the Universal was a client, and the computer was Host..
With a Universal and a USB mouse, you have to clients and no host..
The Universal will be waiting for the mouse to give commands and vice versa..
No drivers in the world can emulate USB host functionality, when the CHIPSET don't support it.
(Actually, the chipset TYPE supports it, but there are some wires that are not connected in the Universal..)

[INFO] Keyboard Dock USB Host External Mouse works great !

So, I just had to see if the usb ports would be good for anything besides USB flash drives. So, I decided to plug in my Logitech VX Nano mouse, and to my surprise it worked right away. In additions I was surprised that the wheel works great for scrolling up and down in the browser. I assume an external keyboard would work as well. Anybody know of any other USB hardware that could be useful?

Thanks for the tip! This is a great substitute for the trackpad while we wait for Asus to resolve the trackpad issues.

Great to hear. I have the same mouse and was wondering if it would work. I prefer to use a mouse when using a notebook on a desk, so this will be perfect.

i tried a microsoft blue mouse and it worked, but lagged around the screen. guess i'll have to try my regular logitech. Probably the blue tech that didn't work well with android.

Just wanted to bring up USB host mode again because I tried to hook my evo up as a mass storage device through USB, and it did't work. This is kind of disappointing. Has anbody been able to do this with their android phones?

tried connecting with my san francisco phone..(CM7 Rom, 2.3)..it works surprisingly well!!! The phone didn't even prompt me to turn on USB..it enables itself!! maybe it's just too happy to find another android device...-_-

my logitech wireless mouse with mini USB adapter works fine..
scroll and all

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.

Use your pc mouse and keyboard to control your phone

Is there any way to make your android work with your pc keyboard and mouse without OTG or any other cable solution??something like wifi or BT sharing your pc keyboard/mouse to use it on your android...for lets say gaming...

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.

Keyboard

Hi,
I am happy with the Mojo, and are using it mostly for media.
To control, I am using a wireless keyboard with irda adapter connected to the usb v2 port.
Now want to use it for gaming at the same time off course.
The problem is when connecting the gamecontroller in usb v3 port.
Sometimes wifi stopped working, and the keyboard loses connection as well.
Have you tried keyboard (with mouse) and the gamecontroller at the same time?
What are your experience and what type of keyboard are you using?

I use this BT2 keyboard/mouse combo
Works well, Just have to hit esc to get out of virtual keyboard.
Both paired and connected at the same time.
Both time out but come back on with no problems.

I usually have MOJO set up in a desktop setting with a wired keyboard/mouse connected to a USB hub, which in turn, is connected to the MOJO. Also played around with a few wireless keyboard/mice. No issues with having keyboard/mouse/etc connected at same time as the CTRLR's USB dongle. The only problem is getting used to the virtual keyboard disappearing if a keyboard is connected.
To note, I use one of our Mad Catz RAT's that has on-the-device DPI adjustment, letting me adjust pointer speed on the fly.

Performed a backup using Titanium and then connected the irda keyboarb in the usb 2.0 usb port.
Worked without any problems this time

I keep a logitech wireless mouse handy. When I need it I just plug in the dongle to the 2.0 port on back. No issues using the mouse or CTRLR simultaneously.

I'm trying to figure out the best way to have the virtual keyboard hide while I use my bluetooth keyboard/mouse combo. I am using a logitech Mediaboard Pro which was built for the ps3. It doesn't connect with a dongle , it is true blutooth. I'm not sure if that makes any difference with how it effects hiding the virtual keyboard or not. I have been connecting to it with in the settings, blutooth menu. I have tried a couple of the Null keyboard apps in Google play with no luck. Anybody have any suggestions.

Can someone please recommend a decent bluetooth keyboard with touchpad. No usb dongle.
Thanks

The next firmware update should help with that issue - we're hoping to release it very, very soon.

Bluetooth combo keyboards/mouse generally don't come with USB adaptors.
So, I think any BT2 (classic) keyboard will work, mine works fine (a bit too small) but as Nate says have to escape out of the virtual keyboard.
USB keyboard doesn't do this.

I've posted the link to the latest firmware update here:

Install that and it should sort the onscreen keyboard issue as Bluetooth keyboards will now correctly detect as physical keyboards.

Thanks, did the update and I'm really glad by the better support to blutooth keyboard. Now the mojo will remember my blutooth after rebooting. Also I noticed the word suggestion at the bottom of the screen. Is there a quick method of inserting the suggested word other than using the mouse to pick it. Thanks
