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...

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..
Just got this tablet and dock, which as a combo is incredibly sexy... I have many thoughts about this device which I would love to share later, but for now I have to know if your dock behaves like mine:
When I insert the tablet into the dock, i initially get no recognition. If i plug it in to the charger while docked, it instantly recognizes it. I can then unplug it from the charger and it is connected and the keys/mouse pad work. However if I close the screen, I must repeat this process. I have not found another way to make the tablet see the dock.
The latch is secured, the charger charges the tablet and dock through the dock connector.
Is this normal? If so, its retarded. If not, have I missed a dock power button or something?
Do I need to ship this POS back to amazon or what?
Otherwise I love this thing as a package. Devs need to crank out more Teg3 games though. #gameloftchokes

I want to use my tablet for presentations in my conference room. I need to mirror what's on my tablet screen onto a big hd television. I haven't come across a way to do it wirelessly (which would be my first choice), so I am going to resort to running and hiding a long hdmi cable. Do I need an DVI to HDMI cable?
I depends on what inputs the screen has. If it has HDMI, you'll need a Micro HDMI to (Normal) HDMI cable (the Infinity only has Micro HDMI for screen output).
I've read that using a DVI converter does not work with the TF700 - not sure if it's true - but something to be aware of...

You could use a HDMI cable going to a Wireless HDMI extender and then from that with a HDMI to micro HDMI to the TF700.
But that does get a bit pricey

check the projector for an hdmi connection, if your doing presentations you might want to take a look at quickoffice, it allows you to use the screen as a laser pointer when connected to a projector.

I just priced that out. No thanks!
At some point can we hope for an apple sort of solution?

Splashtop has a Whiteboard out for $10.00. Their remote desktop software is awesome, havn't tried the whiteboard though.

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.

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.
,hi all,
yesterday i connected a usb wireless mouse to the infinity,
i unmounted the usb and closed the screen.
when i opened the infinity today i noticed the touchpad doesn't work,
tried to restart and all, look for something in the settings menu, nothing.
the keyboard works, i'm writing from it right now.
the touchpad is working for 2 sec and i can see the pointer moving when the device is up..
so i don't think the keyboard is the problem..
any suggestions?
thanks
using default stock rom i didn't change any frimware (just updated when it first came up)
Not sure if this will help, but have you tried pressing the toggle touchpad button on the dock?
From the top-left, its the fourth to the right (looks like a mouse with a diagonal slash through it)
This is on the TF201 dock, I'm hoping its the same on the Infinity dock!
oh **** stupid me, thank you dude!
thanks!
Just confirmed that the touchpad *does* continue to work properly, even after/when an external mouse is attached...
