Hi guys, I'm debating on getting the Microsoft Arc Mouse for my Transformer... I use my TF a lot with Splashtop HD and other programs that are a lot easier with a mouse, plus I'm not a trackpad kind-of-guy.
I'm posing this question because I already have a Microsoft Wireless Mouse 3500 that works excellent with my Windows 7 PC, but once I plug in the nano transceiver into my EeePad, the mouse cursor can be moved, but every 2 seconds the mouse "jitters" and for about a a second the mouse doesn't move. So basically I can't use this mouse comfortably.
I just wanna make sure that the Arc Mouse doesn't have this problem. Thanks guys.
I can't say for sure since I don't own it myself but so far I have tried my wife's Wireless Mouse 3500 and my Wireless Mouse 6000 and have the same issue with the "jitters" every few seconds. However I have an older Wireless Mobile Mouse 3000 with jumbo stick adapter and it works with no problems at all. So my assumption would be that Microsoft has made some recent revisions to their HID code that doesn't jive well with Android 3.2. Hopefully someone who already has one can try it out and give us a concrete answer.
Eh, I guess it's too late. I ordered the Logitech M180, from what I've seen this one should work fairly well with the TF, and if not, it'll be returned and I'll try the Arc Mouse. I mainly wanted a small wireless mouse that could fit in this small front pouch of the netbook case I use for my TF.

Works great, just plug it in and your good. I like that the reciever doesn't stick out too much from the dock.

Aghhhh, thanks for the quick response, I may have to exchange my Logitech Mouse for the Arc now, it would fit so much better in my little case.

The Arc Touch? I too have that, and it gets the same lag as the 3500 does.
Do you all happen to be on the dock with a custom kernal? I have the dock, currently on the latest revolver; but I am uncertain if its a rom/kernal issue, dock issue, or microsoft/android issue
I use a Logitech Bluetooth V470 Cordless Laser Mouse, no software required it just works! UK price £34.99
Logitech US have a Tablet Mouse for Android™ 3.1+ at $49.99 but both mice have the same part # so make your own conclusions

I think all of the usb receiver mice have lag, to some degree... but we are one step closer to the coolest thing since sliced bread. I guess my expectations aren't as high as others.. the OS is coming along and I expect it to improve over time, or over devices..

Will the tablet work with a Bluetooth mouse? Without the dock.

I to am wondering as I have an extra MS Notebook mouse 5000 I used with my netbook.
Ok your thread made me bust out my dell bluetooth mouse. Just paired it and it paired fine and once I moved the mouse I got a cursor on the screen.
Scroll wheel works as it would on your computer not like in the touchpad reviews. Scrolling up moves up and down moves down. If you hold the right mouse button and swipe back it works like the back key. Will try out other things later. Is kind nice though. Also the pointer has that blue honeycomb glow to it.
Awesome. With the eventual keyboard dock plus the mouse, this is easily a netbook replacement as long as the software holds up.
Yes, I need a tablet while my TF is being sent back to asus for non-functioning speakers.
My first impressions of the Acer are not good. Here's a short list of nags that I'm sure will grow until I return this in less than 14 days:
- two usb drives that work on my TF don't work on the A500... my wireless key file is on those, so it's a pain not to have access to them.
- a regular usb mouse, which works on the TF, doesn't on the A500.
- my RII mini bluetooth keyboard works on the A500, but the trackpad doesn't, which means I have to type and touch the screen constantly. Remote desktop will be painful because of this.
- the A500 wouldn't tether to my android phone via bluetooth or wifi... this works flawlessly on the TF.
- no file manager! Yes, sounds minor, but this is a huge inconvenience.
- I thought the cable on the TF was short... the one that Acer provides barely reaches the top of the small table I have the device on!!!
I really miss my Transformer LOL

Sure - the dock really has nothing to do with the Bluetooth aspect of the device, so a bluetooth mouse will work regardless of whether or not you have a dock.

Thanks I was reading some old thread where there was an issue. When you connected bluetooth mouse to transformer without dock it disabled onscreen keyboard. Thats why i wasn't sure. Can you recommend any particular mouse to this device?
I use the ms bluetooth notebook mouse 5000. It works fine enough for me.
using a Dell Bluetooth Travel mouse (logitech rebrand), works fine. My only beef is that i need to find a Bluetooth mouse that can support 2 pairings. I have the Infinity & ZenBook (yeah, i like asus) and its an annoyance having to repair each time.
if the keyboard dock is connected to the tablet the on screen keyboard doesn't come out, so its better to use a Bluetooth mouse with out keyboard dock if you want to use the on screen keyboard

Why on earth would anyone want to use onscreen keyboard when the dock is connected? Cmon... Haven't seen more weird reply in some time...
Anyone use a BT mouse with their Infinity? If so, what model?

I ordered a Microsoft BT mouse specifically for smartphones and tablets.

I use both a Logitech Bluetooth mouse (they only have one, I believe). I also have an I/O Magic bluetooth mouse - both work great - I use one at work and one at home. Use them *all* of the time. Bought the I/O Magic at Microcenter (much cheaper than the Logitech)...

Just wondering if you get the decrease in download speeds while using the bluetooth mouse like we get when using bluetooth speakers. Just curious cause if you can stream netflix and use the mouse without any video buffering we might have hope on it being a software issue. Can you try it. Thanks.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using XDA Premium HD app
Don't have a Netflix account, but I just tested with a bluetooth mouse and my bluetooth music receiver.
If I just have my mouse connected (but not using it), it doesn't slow it down much at all, but if I constantly move the mouse around while the speed test is occurring, it does drop the speed quite a bit. However, the speed drop is nowhere near the lever you are seeing....
I get very little slowdown while playing music to the bluetooth music receiver while running the test.
I think the slowdown while constantly moving the mouse around might be more CPU related since the bluetooth music receiver doesn't slow it down much (still get about 12Mbps download while sending music to the bluetooth music receiver).
I would expect the slowdowns I'm seeing though, especially since bluetooth and wifi use the same 2.4Ghz signal....

I am using this since it travel well. If MS made the bendable arch mouse in BT instead of normal wireless then I would have gotten one of those.

That mouse looks interesting - how do the "optical" navigation work using your finger - does it work with the TF700?
You also mention that it travels well - does it fold flat or something? I'm just wondering what makes it travel better than a normal mouse...
I'm tempted to purchase, but only if the optical finger navigation works with the TF700...
Thanks for the info!

It works as advertised. It is flatter than the average mouse so it fits in a bag well. I wouldnt do graphic design with it but it is precise enough for normal tablet stuff.
I can't use apple air mouse.
I can connect mouse and infinity together, but mouse doesen't work.
The same mouse works perfect with samsung galaxy s2.

I don't have another BT mouse for test.

I use a MS BT 5000 Notebook bluetooth mouse and the Logitech BT Keyboard with no issues. i do have some drop out on my Motorola S9-HD headphones if I use the mouse while listening, but speed is ok.
Is there a docking station that exists compatible with the Note 4? Basically il looking to plug in USB keyboard & mouse, and project the image onto a computer monitor via HDMI.

I saw a YouTube video of it plugged into the Note 4. I wasn't too impressed. Basically, the image on the screen was in the shape of the smartphone and not resized to fit the screen like my old setup would do (DROID RAZR MAXX/HD STATION). If I do get the Smart Dock, is there a setting that will fit the monitor size in full screen? Will I have Keyboard/Mouse functionality? Would like to hear from someone that actually uses the Smart Dock and knows first-hand.
Yep, I use nova to set the screen to lock onto oreintation and yes keyboards work ill see tomorrow if i can get some screenshots of me using it
App called set orientation is what I use
I went ahead and ordered one off of Amazon. Thanks, everyone. My PC motherboard just died so I'm going to try and live off of this for a little while until I can build another PC. It was time, 7 years old.
EDIT: I was first having problems seeing my mouse pointer. After plugging and unplugging, then replugging it in, it works. I'm using a Logitech Unifying Device to plug in a K800 keyboard and a mouse (I forgot the model of the mouse I have).

For any one has a problem to type special characters using an external keyboard,this is the solution : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apedroid.hwkeyboardhelper&hl=it
For some reason, my dock only worked once. Now, my keyboard and mouse keep connecting and disconnecting. How can can I fix this? Also, my car app (Carhome Ultra) wanted to open when I just wanted my phone to just mirror the launcher. I also no longer have full screen. Could I have a faulty dock? Should I FDR my phone?

If you use wired mouse, screen should automatically change orientation from portrait to landscape once mouse is plugged in (with monitor attached to smart dock).

I really don't understand this, but after unplugging/replugging in, AGAIN, it worked. In fact, I'm on it, now.
The only thing I'm a bit unhappy with is the resolution. The letters look HUGE. Is there a way to change the resolution? I can't seem to find it.
