Keyboard and Mouse?

Anyone using a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse with your G2X? If so how's it working and what had to be done?

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.

Bluetooth mouse? Any that work?

Anyone have any bt mouses they use that work? Can you use one while using the keyboard?

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!

HTC One S as RDP client (mouse, keyboard, monitor)

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?

I have a microsoft wireless mobile mouse 3500 i dont know to sync

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.

Logitech has a android specific keyboard. I think these have dedicated android keys for home, back and recent apps.

[Q] Has anyone managed to get any gamepad working, natively?

I got my OTG USB cable and mice etc. seem to work fine. Tried the wired xbox controller and while it is detected via the BT joystick test app, it wont work in any apps.
Tried another generic USB gamepad today and nothing, not even recognised in the test app.
So has anyone managed to get a gamepad working natively? The main reason I ask if that my mum likes to play the odd old arcade game (cool huh) and she would need gamepad support and wont bother if she has to pay out and configure another it all via another app!
thanks

guess not

I have gotten a wireless sixaxis controller to work via bluetooth, but my wired xbox controller will not work.

Use a ps3 controller. No wires = boss. And you can even use it for touch screen only games.

yeah if I could get one cheap then it would be great, my mum wont be up for spending a fortune

I have the same problem here. In my case I have generic USB controller and totally the tab and BT joystick test app cannot detect it. Did you manage to make it work?

For those who were able to get the game controller to work on tablet, which ROMS have the sixaxis program installed?

It didn't work that way unfortunately, I heard about some kernel modifications to allow USB Host controllers .. I'm now installing CM 10.1 hoping I can get my keyboard and mouse working

What mouse you got?

just an ordinary USB mouse, I tried it on my friend's Note 10.1 (N8000 with ICS 4.0.4) and it worked ! so can this be just a compatibility issue with my tab, or our GalaxyTab 2 or JellyBean doesn't support mouse at all ??

Very odd, I used a
Basic Logitech, Microsoft and an ibm mouse wired usb and all Work fine.
Are you using the original usb adapter?
I also have the ps3 controller WIRED working on stock no root 4.1.2 tab 2 10.1

I tried my OTG cable as well with Note 10.1, it works fine, I think it's not the problem ..
I can connect many peripherals as keyboard and flash memories (even a USB Modem), but for mice I couldn't .. I'll try another mouse just in case if the current mouse isn't compatible enough to work with the tab ..
and btw, did you need any additional apps to connect your PS3 controller?

No additional apps needed, remember I use a wireless ps3 but plugged in always.
Currently playing shadowgun deadzone and max Payne .
