[Q] While my TF is being RMA'ed, I get to use an Acer A500

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

Microsoft Arc Mouse Compatibility

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..

Problem with the keydock - undock/re-dock

I need some help here.
I gave my son the keydock for his tf300. The dock is working like a charm, but once the tablet has been undocked, he is not able to redock until he connects the power cord to the dock. As soon as the power has been connected, the dock is working, and he can then remove the power cord again.
I don't know, if this is a common problem or a faulty keydock. Could someone please give me a hint.
This message was send from my Xperia S
>>> If nothing goes right, go left<<<

This seams like a faulty dock mine doesn't do that. I can redock whenever i wan't no issues and no need for the power cord.
I would contact Asus see what they say.

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...

Just got my TF700 - Does your dock do this crap too?

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
