Can not seem to get the mouse over function to work on any links in the browser.
would be nice if this worked, makes the mouse touch pad more useful.
I've investigated the same from dev perspective (i.e. what it would take to have mouse hover work in my app). For now this seems to be undoable, because mouse events are only reported (as if they were touch events) when mouse button is down.
However, there is a new API for mouse hover, scroll etc in Android 3.1 - with this it should be possible to implement everything. Whether stock apps would use it or not is an open question, but I would expect that Browser of all things would do so, and hopefully Adobe adds hover support to Flash as well.
Actually there's a very simple way to do a mouse hover. Just put both fingers on the touchpad and it will act as a hover.
At least I think this works...

This does not work. Putting both fingers on the touchpad switches to page scrolling mode.

It works great! except cursor acts like a touch screen function. The keyboard works flawlessly. Also, using a bluetooth mouse.
Hopefully the developer of kwaak3 can address this.
I have seen that the Apple Magic Trackpad can be successfully used with some Android tablets: Acer Iconia A500 and Motorola Xoom.
This includes one- and two-finger gestures and scrolling and "tap to click".
I tried it with my TF101 and one finger cursor movement works, two-finger scrolling sort of works.
However, anything that needs a "click" or "click and drag" doesn't work on the trackpad itself;
I have to press down to "click" the feet on the bottom.
This makes it pretty difficult to scroll and move things around.
Has anyone had better luck getting the Magic Trackpad to work on their TF101?
Thanks,
Eric
I'm sure it just needs a better driver for it. Maybe someone will port the linux drivers over to honeycomb. Google search for Magic Trackpad Android Driver and see what you get
Hi all,
I'm trying to control the mouse cursor using /dev/input/event*.
Right now I'm experimenting this by capturing the trackpad events using "getevent" terminal command and then mimic them using a snippet of c code.
The problem that I'm having right now is that writing to /dev/input/event* doesn't actually show up and move the cursor visually. The cursor only moves if I put the finger on the trackpad while writing to /dev/input/event*.
My goal is to programmatically control the mouse cursor. Just in case you guys are curious, I want to develop a TF101 port of Synergy. I really want to have my transformer pad besides my laptop and control it with my laptop's mouse and keyboard.
Any idea?
Thank you

Id love to see something like this, I assume you have seen this: (http://sourceforge.net/projects/synergyandroid/)

Yep I've taken a look at it. It's really helpful. And if I can figure out how to move the cursor, I'll probably base most the work out of that project.
Never mind this thread. I think I got this figured out.
Let me know if anybody is interested to know how. It's still just writing to /dev/input/event*. It's just I made a little mistake on what to send before
Interested

Hi
I'm definitely interested in this project. I've been looking for something like this.
The current synergy project doesn't work the way I expected, it seems to cycle through the controls on the screen rather than move the cursor
I ended up buying a different one called PC Loves Droid, which works quite well, but gets stuck a bit too often to be useful
So if you've made progress with this project, I'd love to see what you've done.
is the mouse plugin?

hi there, i am also interested in this area,
just wondering did you plugin the mouse before you control the mouse cursor, or you can do without plugin the mouse, seems like a driver will be install when you plugin the mouse to Android, event* will be added before you can control the mouse,
also can you share the format of how the mouse is being move,
all i am getting from getevent is
0002 0000 00000002
0000 0000 00000000
0002 0000 00000001
0002 0001 ffffffff
i couldn't find any revelent from those data to the X, Y point of the cursor,
any references will be appreciated

Is your app released or available yet?
because I can't find it..
In any case, you can try LANmote to control your Android device using your comnputer Keyboard and Mouse.

Let me know what you think or how we can improve it...
I try to find a virtual keyboard to play Aion on my PC all the remote Mouse/Keyboard app I find use pre made keyboard and I can't personalize them. The only one I find is Air HID but it's hard for me to create a good looking keyboard with symmetrical touch button. Is there another one with more easy keyboard creation?
Thanks for your help,
DracoMoye
I just made a crude keyboard in Air HID but I can't use multiple button at the same time so I can move forward and turn at the same time. I'm back to find a remote keyboard/mouse app?
I fast draw of the interface I wish to have
http://postimg.org/image/6f5tcsgff/
Game pad that use wasd, touch mouse and button, mouse 2 toggle hold unhold, all the competence slot and configurable button for menu and other shortcut.
That can be use with all the other mmorpg that use similar interface.

just wondering if anybody have tried this mouse. I'm looking for a $20 - 30 mouse that would work good. I've read that some mouse are laggy/slow on pixel c. I have a logitech k480 keyboard and was thinking of pairing a mouse would be nice since I use google sheets and remote to computers (via vmware horizon client) a lot.
I've been using my pretty old Logitech Bluetooth mouse from about 5 years ago without any issue on the pixel c. Can't remember the model number (I think that stuff has all come off it now).
Thanks brown geek!
I was using a Logitech T630 and now use a Logitech MX Anywhere 2 - both work just fine. I notice you mention Horizon Client - one thing to keep in mind with the Pixel is that if you are using the hardware keyboard, hitting the key to bring up the symbols panel does not work. Windows just treats it like an Alt key. If you need to send a special symbol, you need to use the field in the Horizon client that allows you compose a string of text and then send it to the VM - that way, you are allowed to bring up the symbols pane. Not a huge deal if you don't need a lot of symbols, but a mild annoyance.

I'm using a microsoft M3600 mouse. It's a very good mouse.
It was not supported correctly by android 6.0 some weeks ago, so I reported the issue : it's still not working with 6.0 build but this mouse is now working perfectly on android N (google fixed the issue on N recently).
I suppose the fix should be in the next build of 6.0 too .

This mouse is very light and the autonomy is very good as it's a LE mouse, the tracking is also very precise.
Just tried the Pixel with a Magic mouse 2 from work. Running latest Android N preview.
I have never used a mouse previous to this on android so here's what I found.
Mouse just adds pointer, no gestures, just as if you were using your finger, cant even scroll.
Looking at youtube videos suggests the scroll should work (Magic mouse 1 on older android OS) so I will test this with my aging S4 to see how it responds.
---------- Post added at 08:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 AM ----------
Ok so my S4 behaves the same with the added support for a right click it seems which acts as a back button.
I assume there is not a lot that can be done about and I just need to see what the full Android N release may support.
I'm using the Logitech T630. It has a touch surface with gesture support.
Has anyone used a USB hub and plugged in a wired mouse? Wondering if I could do that with a mouse I already have rather than buy a Bluetooth mouse.

How well does the gesture support work?
Can you swipe to move between home screens and scroll in browsers etc?
Just interested as I ran a input logging app and only the general movement and left and right click seem to suggest they were sending data from the Magic Mouse 2.
Cheers,

I just got this mouse as well. There is no physical scrolling wheel, but you can move your fingers forwards and backwards anywhere on the mouse to scroll vertically and swipe left and right on the mouse to switch pages in your launcher. (It won't take you back from Google Now to your homescreen in the Google Launcher for some reason, but you can accomplish it with a click-and-drag) The scrolling is very responsive and works well, although Nougat does not give you a whole lot of options for adjusting things such as scrolling speed, only tracking speed. There may be third party apps for this, though.
I've seen other mention that right clicking functions as a back button for them, but this has been very app-dependant for me.
