Works like a champ! It seems to be knocking out my BT keyboard making life rather annoying right now.
Using a Microsoft mouse. Looks just like the transformer video showing off their mouse. I look at my Xoom differently now, especially with the cheap stand.
doenst work at all with my microsoft presenter 8000 bluetooth mouse. $80 mouse

Hi, I was wondering if this was possible. I actually was looking to see if there was such an app..
Anyways, just started using my PS3 again online and I didn't have a keyboard. Figured there might be an app in the market for that to use your phone as a bluetooth keyboard for the PS3.
Any takers on this request??
+1 This would be great, also an app to use our Androids as a mic and headset would be great
This would be great. The best way to get this to work would be for the phone to act a a standard Bluetooth HID. Then you could use it on anything. Keyboard or mouse.
This would be the bomb!

We've been asking for this since Droid 1 came out. No one has been able to do it.
Too bad.........

Yea I've used it. CM7 natively supports an external BT Mouse and Keyboard.
I've used my Microsoft 3000 BT laptop mouse and a el cheapo BT thumb keyboard I bought off ebay.
I also lowered the DPI to 190 and used HDMI out to my 24" LCD monitor. The lower DPI helps make it more "desktop" friendly or else everything is VERY HUGE.
I haven't checked non-CM based roms such as Weapon or EB. Anything with a CM base should support it easily.
Awesome! I'm on Weapon 2.6 and loving it. I will give it a shot. Thanks.

I don't know about the mouse, but I know you can pair an Apple Wireless Keyboard if you're running a CM7-based ROM. You pair by first putting in 0000 when prompted when pairing and doing the same on the keyboard and pressing enter.
Though I thought it was stupid at first, hooking my phone up to my Logitech Bluetooth KB along with HDMI out has made an excellent laptop alternative. I haven't been using this set-up in a while because I can sync my GTab 10.1 wirelessly to my Samsung SmartTV.

Anyone have any bt mouses they use that work? Can you use one while using the keyboard?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Any bluetooth mouse should work I believe. I think you can have 2 devices paired at the same time too.
I use a Dell Bluetooth Mouse with a Bluetooth keyboard all the time. They work very well together. Now with Onlive Desktop, I have a very productive business tool with my Touchpad.
I bought my mouse used for $9.00 here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002G9J3MO/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
Good luck!
I'm using a Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000. Yes you can use a bluetooth mouse and keyboard at the same time. Pretty much any bluetooth keyboard and mouse will work as long as they use are HID compliant which almost all are.
Hell I'm using a Mac mighty mouse for it and it works

Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse 5000, Microsoft Bluetooth Keyboard 6000. Work great together on Ubuntu (haven't tried in Android, but there's no reason they wouldn't work).
I bought this mouse off amazon and it DOES NOT work with the touchpad. With cm7 it would work but be extremely flighty. With cm9 it will pair but will not function...I also was looking for a mouse to use with the touchpad....specifically for splashtop. Also the mouse paired hid.

It doesn't have the best review rating on Amazon, only 2.5 stars. It's probably just a bad BT mouse in general. If you bought from Amazon or a Fulfilled by Amazon seller, they have a really good defective return policy that won't cost you anything to ship back/return if its been less than 30 days. They let you print off a prepaid (by them) return shipping label.
You may have to pay a bit more for a better brand if that one won't work. I've never had an issue with Microsoft or Logitech mice. Dell, HP and possibly other OEMs usually have rebranded Logitech stuff so they are good as well.
Blueputdroid on my Droid 4 works perfectly.
I get high fives from my tech-inclined friends for doing citrix remote desktop from my touch pad using Firefox running on Ubuntu 12.04 running on cm9 with the Droid 4 serving as Bluetooth keyboard, mouse and wifi hotspot. It is a sight to behold.
If you have an android phone you might consider this.

Alright guys so I got a mouse but It won't pair. I explained in another thread why, but it pretty much won't connect and if it does the mouse movement doesn't do anything even though I see the cursor on the screen. It works great on my galaxy nexus though. :/

I tried my iMac magic mouse and bluetooth slim keyboard but none of them do anything (could be a hid thing)... they do pair, and the keyboard I can register and pair when I type the passcode. Has anyone tried these?
Also, for those using Splashtop, does it support the keyboard and mouse? Its such a hassle to click/drag or open the keyboard to type.
Am using an old BTM-100 Anycom BT Mouse. Works very smooth.

Haven't tried with webOS, but with CM9, both my logitech BT mouse and keyboard work like a charm
I have the Razer Orochi and it works fine.
Sort of mouse related....I have the Logitech Mediaboard Pro for the PS3 (keyboard + trackpad) and it's worked well so far.
Using a Bluetooth mouse made this tablet even more awesome.

how could I do this for unrooted phone to Cm9 touchpad use?
I am using the official Motorola keyboard and mouse. Both work great, though the keyboard needed special instructions.

Very cool! I may have to try this!
I recently recieved my dock and decided to try and plug in my xbox controller into it. It plugged in fine but when I press the xbox button it didn't flash at all. Is there an app I need to download or is it something else? (I am unrooted and don't plan on rooting)
Wireless (with play and charge kit) or Wired controller?

Wireless with play and charge
Are you on ICS still or JB? Cause on ICS mine too didn't recognized it at first, but after some reboots it came to its senses. Ive played dead trigger and shadowgun just fine.
Haven't tried it still on JB
<EDIT> Ive just seen your post about having the wireless, mine is wired
On older versions of windows... the lights don't necessarily light up (haven't used it with 7 or vista) son it may be that its connected and working just not lit up...

Wireless doesn't work like that AFAIK. I'm unrooted as well but i got the wireless controller to work by purchasing and using an xbox 360 wireless gaming receiver. A 3rd party one should work

this will not work because the play & charge kit is a power-only connection, it's for recharging your battery only (i.e. no actual input data is transmitted via usb).
i haven't tried connecting an xbox controller to my transformer yet, but i guess you will need a wireless receiver at the very least...
I can confirm that the wireless receiver works

False.
My buddies and I use play and charge kits all the time on our laptops for long road trips. I happen to have a wired controller so I use that more often...

At least for _original_ Xbox 360 wireless controllers the Play & Charge kit does not transmit any input data via USB. (While that doesn't have to mean anything, Wikipedia seems to agree with me )
Just to make sure, I plugged in my wireless controller - while yes, an entry gets added to device manager, it does _not_ add an actual input device...for this to happen, a wireless receiver is needed.

I tried and tried to get my xbox 360 controller to work on my tablet with the play and charge usb. I finally gave up and got the bluetooth controller from Gamestop. It's not as solid of a controller but it works great so far.
I've wondered.. would that be possible? I know that its possible to stream to an 1920x1080 monitor via MHL and i'm pretty sure i can somehow connect a mouse and a keyboard via bluetooth - or?
Which MHL Adapater and BT keyboard/mouse combo would you recommend? Does ANY BT keyboard/mouse combo work with our phone?

Hey bud,
I have a similair goal in mind and have begun gathering gear for my desktop replacement system lol. I have a monitor already. I just picked up the iHome bluetooth keyboard from my local store here. Dude, paired and connected in a snap. No extra work needed. All i do is turn bt on on the phone, turn the keyboard on and it immediattely defaults to the keyboard for text inpuut. I am in the process of researching how to remap the keys for optimized android functionality as this model is mapped out for iphone. but the media keys work well. volume up and down. pressing the play key automatically starts the media player and plays music. I am actually typing out this post on it right now in my car with my phone docked to my windshield lol. i love it. the arrow keys work in most apps to scroll through and select stuff. Now all i need is a mouse and mhl adapter. I gave up my pc when the hardrive croaked because my adroid phone does alll i need.
I started using android phones as a desktop replacement since i had my G2x. this phone is much easier to accomplish the task with. and with cloud storage we dont even need to use usbhost to latch on an external hardrive. Best of luck dude.
