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.

well as ive already shelled out the cash for this one i think id rather keep it. it reminds me of the old dell keyboards too which is awesome. i love the simple no frills design. the keys on this model feel great too

I already have a Harmony One with the IR to BT receiver but I think it would be pretty awesome to control the menu/Blu-Rays with my N1.
It can't be that hard to develop. If you had a BT keyboard you can connect it to the PS3 and you can mimmick the controls with certain keyboard buttons. (I think, haven't personally tried it but the functionality should be there for EVERY buttion. So far I've just tried the arrows.)
If I knew a crap about developing I'd do it myself.
Do want!

They already made this for Windows Mobile, so it can be done.

Yeah, I would pay for this as well. Definitely $5-$10.
Anyone find anything that can do this? I think Google tv is coming out with something like this for Harmony remotes but its only for Google tv.
Hi, I was wondering if this was possible. I actually was looking to see if there was such an app..
Anyways, just started using my PS3 again online and I didn't have a keyboard. Figured there might be an app in the market for that to use your phone as a bluetooth keyboard for the PS3.
Any takers on this request??
+1 This would be great, also an app to use our Androids as a mic and headset would be great
This would be great. The best way to get this to work would be for the phone to act a a standard Bluetooth HID. Then you could use it on anything. Keyboard or mouse.
This would be the bomb!

Hey I just bought a touchpad and all the things to go with it and I would just like to confirm that it does connect with our sensations. But just warning i am rooted using android revolution 3.0
The keyboard does although only the volume media keys work along with the qwerty keys. The card button does not work.

Useless only if you don't want to type any text....
I paired mine with my desktop and the card key acts as the windows key, so we should be able to map it to something in android.

Its really nice when your useing the MHL cable to put something on your screen. All i need now is a bluetooth mouse and i have a mini pc
hey, sorry to reopening old post, but I just got my HP TP bluetooth keyboard and I have 32GB TP.
I also have HTC Sensation 4G.
Keyboard works fine with TP, but I can't make my phone see it. You mentioned you made it work. Can you please walk through how you did it?
Seems like Scan for device in Bluetooth settings in the phone can't find it.. it finds and uses my headset and PC just fine, but not the HP keyboard.
PS
I have S-OFF but I haven't rooted, still using the stock rom (didn't find a need to flash so far...)
Thank you in advance.
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.

Easy though? Connect your SGS to telly with tv-out and use a Bluetooth keyboard or attach an usb kind of plug-in on your SGS and connect with usb keyboard...
Et voila you can type and use whatsapp..

One my geekiest moments was hooking up my I9000 with the projector we had in the classroom and playing Manic Miner in a Spectrum emulator using a Wii controller. Although using my N810 as a bluetooth keyboard and mouse for my I9000 is also pretty geek.
BTW, PS3 controllers are the ones that use bluetooth (you can use them with the help of the Sixaxis app). You can only connect XBOX controllers through the USB port.
