Tablet doesn't want to connect to bluetooth mouse - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I bought a bluetooth mouse HP X4000b two days ago, and successfully paired it with my nexus 7 to see if it works with it. It worked. Afterwards I used it with my PC. Today, I made a nandroid restore, and tried to connect the mouse again. It didn't work. I removed it from paired devices and tried to pair it again. It does find the mouse as a bluetooth mouse, but when i click on it to pair it, nothing happens. I am 100km from my computer now, so I don't think they see each other
Please help, I would really need the mouse to work in the next few days.

If you could get your hands on an OTG-usb adapter cable you could attach a wired usb mouse or use a wireless mouse with a nano usb receiver. I know that doesn't fix your bt mouse, but it could be a workable alternative.

Can't get USB wireless keyboard to work

Hey guys, I'm working on a Ubuntu port to my a500 but I can't seem to get my wireless keyboard to work. I have a combo wireless keyboard and mouse that works off of one usb plug; the mouse works but the keyboard won't type anything. It's a logitech mk320. Any help is appreciated-
Thanks
Im using a Logitech MK220 wireless combo with no problems at all. Mouse and keyboard with a single usb dongle. See if it works on your pc if you havent, check batteries and stuff.

Well, it does work on pc, I'm typing with it right now. I just bought it- batteries are fine. Like I said, mouse works on tablet but not the keyboard... any other ideas?
sorry not sure if u already fixed ur issue but I just bought a MK220 and it works fine with my N8010 . tips: restart the andorid while the logitech reciever is plugged in. if it doesnt work for some odd reason, take out the batteries of the mouse and plug in the reciever and restart. (this will not pair the mouse)
hope it works,

Logitech Keyboard - unifier

Stumbled on a post about how folks are loving Logitech keyboards and how simple it was to hook up and use. OF COURSE I had to take the hard route and try to use a keyboard that I had not used in a while that was not synced / paired to the unifier. When plugged in the unifier is recognized by my A500 but it just did not dawn on me that my keyboard was not paired with the unifier.
Unifier usb - it stores which devices are paired and (at least for me) pairing is done with the computer. Plug in the unifier to a computer and pair using the unifying software that comes with the keyboard and mouse. I can't recall if out of the box unifier and keyboard/mouse are paired. When I changed keyboards, I retained the previous unifier and stored the new with the old keyboard.
Unplug the unifier from the computer and plug into your Acer. It is recognized as a physical keyboard and you are off and typing, mousing, etc.
Just sharing for those who may have struggled like me I am using the K400 but also tested with a K330.To my knowledge and reading other forums many LT keyboards and mice should work.

Pairing logitech mouse/keyboards w/ Unifying receiver on Ouya

If you have a logitech wireless keyboard or mouse, it's pretty easy to get it paired with the Ouya. There's no interface on the Ouya for it. You have to use a Windows machine and use the logitech software to pair the devices to a specific unifying receiver. Once it's paired on the windows machine, shutdown the computer. Remove the receiver, and stick it on the Ouya. Voila!
It appears that Logitech saves some configuration data on the tiny receivers, so that's how it works. I have a Logitech Mouse and keyboard on one receiver. Works great.

I don't think you have to install it on a PC first. The Mouse and Keyboard drivers are universal HUD drivers. Android (OUYA) comes preinstalled and fully configured to plug and play [ANY] mice and keyboard.
Here is what I use:
Measy Air-Mouse/Keyboard RC11

Still good information to know that the OUYA hasn't EXCLUDED any official Android supported devices.

Well, if the receiver is already paired with a device, yes you don't need to do anything special, just plug it in. BUT, if you need to pair a new Logitech keyboard with a Logitech receiver that's paired with an existing mouse, you need to use the logitech software to interface with the receiver to tell it to pair a new device. What I didn't know is that this pairing configuration is stored on the USB receiver, not as a computer setting. That's the handy part.
I have the receiver on a power USB 2.0 hub connected to the Ouya. The Ouya can be turned on using the mouse or keyboard.
Yea. I've found that most Keyboard/Mice are specifically paired with the receiver they ship with. I haven't had any luck repairing a device with a new receiver.

the OP is talking specifically about Logitech keyboards and mice (that just sounds weird) that are compatible with the Unifying program. I have one of their top end mouse and a good KB paired and I switch them around from my desktop to laptop and knew it was stored on the device or USB (or both, maybe), so I figured it would work but didn't know for sure so thanks for posting this!

I've been using a wireless USB keyboard/mouse combo (Logitech K400) and I've tried a bluetooth keyboard and they all work fine, so a bluetooth mouse should work too.

Bluetooth keyboard works.

[Q] C.T.R.L.r PC Pairing

Does anyone know how to pair the v2/Retail C.T.R.L.r with a desktop PC using CSR Harmony Wireless Software Stack? It can see the C.T.R.L.r but when I try to pair it it always times out. I have tried to do it from just turning it on, form hitting start till it turns pink/purple and holding back & start till pink/purple. I am getting the same results from all. I am about to give up and just buy a wired 360 controller.

Um why would I be trying to connect a bluetooth device if I didn't have bluetooth?
Yes I have bluetooth via the dongle that came with the bluetooth controller. I am able to connect the MOJO itself to run audio through my computer as I am running it on my PC monitor which does not have built in audio/speakers. So I know that the bluetooth is functional and the dongle is working.
