Hello guys, is possible to have the mouse or something similar on Android?
I have a galaxy nexus and would be very comfortable on the internet, because some sites have menus that appear when the pointer is passed.

Yes. You need to find a mouse that communicates via bluetooth and then just pair it with your phone. I didn't realize this feature was built in so when I accidentally paired my phone to my bluetooth mouse, it blew my mind.

If it did, it would make things about 3 times easier for me. A multitouch desktop trackpad would be even better.
you can pair a bluetooth mouse with the touchpad and it shows the icon for the mouse in the preferences but it doesnt work for anything. if youre asking if it can be used as a remote mouse for a computer then im not sure theres an app for that.
Thanks for the reply. I was referring to the former. So WebOS recognizes that a mouse is paired?

it pairs with the mouse but its greyed out and isnt available to be used with anything
Ah OK. I wonder if we'll ever be able to get it functional. Anyone have any thoughts/ideas?
WTF ? My Microsoft Mouse Notebook 5000 is found on WebOs, but he don't want to pair :'(
I want use my mouse on a chroot... (Linux Ubuntu)
Is it possible to use Bluetooth mouse and keyboard with the RT or Pro simultaneously?
You'd want to use Mouse Without Borders or Synergy (will require "jailbreaking" the RT) to control two devices with one set of peripherals. Otherwise, no - Bluetooth peripherals can only be actively paired with one machine.

That's not true. My Surface Pro actively pairs with a BT mouse, a BT keyboard and a HTC phone (BT tethering) simultaneously without any issue. My Samsung GT 7.0 plus did the same thing.

Yep, and a few more peripherals as well. Can't remember the upper limit, but it's like 7 simultaneously? Something like that.

It's not just paring it simultaneously, but using it simultaneously. I don't want to buy a cover keyboard because I already have a wedge keyboard and mouse. I might be forced to buy the cover if I can't use my intended setup simultaneously.
Ah... I may have misinterpreted the request. It is of course possible to use multiple peripherals with one device at the same time. I thought you were asking about using the same peripherals with multiple devices at once (which is possible via software like Mouse Without Borders).
Stupid ambiguous English "or". I need to stop parsing sentences so literally. I didn't realize that one-device-many-peripherals was even soemthing somebody would ask about.
I use my Apple bluetooth keyboard and Magic Mouse together with my Surface Pro without any problems. ....well, there's one problem... the mouse lags big time when I'm downloading files over wifi. This is due to interference caused by 2.4Ghz wifi & bluetooth operating at the same time. There's no lag when I'm just browsing the web though.

I meant use them simultaneously, not just pair.

You were right. I ever tried using one bt mouse to control two devices and failed. I thought you were talking the same question the op asked.

Thats 1 host connecting to many devices. GoodDay said its impossible for 1 device to connect to many hosts. Technically he is wrong as bluetooth slaves can have more than 1 master but this is very difficult to do and the HID profile for mice and keyboards does not support that either then making him right again.
But yeah. But otherwise yeah. A tablet or laptop or any other bluetooth master/host can connect to multiple devices/slaves at one time. One bluetooth adaptor should be able to connect to 7 other devices at once although some support less (this is rare).
Under normal conditions though a bluetooth mouse or keyboard (a slave device) cannot connect to more than one device AT ONE TIME. There are pieces of software which allow multiple PC's to share a mouse or keyboard though.
Ah cool, I didn't know that some BT profiles support multiple hosts active at once. I've only ever used mice and headsets, and the mice (didn't try the headsets) would need to be re-paired with the other computer if I wanted to switch which one it was connected to.
In any case, multiple clients was definitely supported, and this was in Vista. I'm sure Win8 has no issues there.

Yeah, its a right pain in the ass to deal with though. Sometimes gets used in robotics. You probably wont ever find it in consumer use, most consumer applications for bluetooth just need the 1 host.
Another weird quirk in bluetooth is switching roles on the fly. 2 devices, ie 2 phones, can start a connection with one of them acting as master and the other as slave, mid way through communication they can then reverse that role. Seen that one used before.
Blue Ant has an earpiece that can pair to two phones at the same time. I used to have one. Had it paired with my work phone and personal phone. It had different ring tones for both phones. You could also switch between the phones while on a call if the other phone recieved a call.
i've tried logitech k400 with my surface - minikeyboard&touchpad-in-one. works perfect.
2nd solution: you can use any usb-hub to connect your favorite usb keyboard and mouse and even something else simultaneously. :good:
Hello,
The device is Tronsmart MK908II, wireless keyboard is this: http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/6271301163.html
The problem is that there is a lag between the keyboard commands and the response of the device. For example as you wiggle your finger on the touchpad on the keyboard, cursor on the TV screen does not reflect correctly and on time, and the same with keystrokes. Especially if the distance between me and the TV stick is more than one meter is almost impossible to perceive commands.
At first I thought it was the keyboard, but after I connected it to the computer, I saw that it works absolutely perfectly, even from a distance of 5-6 meters, there is no delay when you press buttons. Unfortunately, not so with the tv stic... Pls tell me what to do ??? The device has the last Android 4.2.2 version, there is no newest at the moment. Does it need to install a program to respond better wireless keyboards? The keyboard come without software, just plug and play.
Help pls!
Keyboards are a drama! I use droidmote to control my sticks via tablet or phone. The stick needs to be rooted and you install a serverapp on it which you connect to via Wi-Fi from your client app on your other devices. Once working I ditch my keyboard.

I fixed the problem! I use a different port on the device, which is micro USB. Use transitions and include in it the keypad transmitter. Apparently the standard USB does not have enough power to supply it correctly.
Nice catch! Thanks for the update

Okay so far.
Bluetooth mouse pairing okay.
Mouse wheel and mouse buttons work.
But there is no visible mouse pointer.
Tested with two mice, an old microsoft mouse and a new samsung, both showing the same behavior.
Is there any solution or workaround?
By the way, this is a great forum.
Installing custom roms on my old p5100 is a new topic for me for a few days.
The forum here was a great help, without I would never have come so far.
Thanks to all members especially android-andi!
I forgot to mention that I use the Bluetooth Mouse in conjunction with the Samsung Keyboard Dock.
So I get a nice little platform for editing scripts, texts and with AIDE some light Java developing.
A working mouse would be very helpful.
But even without charged Keyboard Dock driver no mouse pointer appears.
Is nobody except me missing the bluetooth mouse pointer?

Its not just a mouse problem but a problem in software part ( disabled cursor layer )
look at what Android-Andi has said.
