USB Mouse Support on Cyanogen is great!

I have a mini wireless keyboard/mouse combo I used to use with my HTPC. I plugged it into the gtablet a few days ago when I was running TapNCrap and the keyboard worked well but as I expected there was no mouse support.
However, now with the Cyanogen Mod Firmware, it includes full USB Mouse Support which is fricken awesome!
With mouse support and the eventual docking station with HDMI out, this thing can become a basic laptop replacement. Actually, with Hulu coming to android and services like PlayOn which are also coming to android shortly, and the processing power of this little tablet, it can actually become an HTPC replacement in it's own right!
I am going to test out bluetooth mouse/keyboard support shortly, because if that works then you can just run an app on your phone to turn it into a bluetooth keyboard/mouse and pair it with the tablet, which would make it even more convenient to use form afar if/when the HDMI dock becomes available stateside .

I was pretty impressed with this as well. I was able to a USB barcode scanner and even use the tab through my USB KVM. Really a great bonus when you are hacking and cracking.

[Q] Wireless Keyboard/Mice combos

I've a couple of wireless keyboard and mice combo units (Logitech and Microsoft) with USB transievers, but haven't had any luck getting any to work with the G Tab. Anyone successfull with these, or should I just look into the bluetooth ones?

I just tried my Logitech S550 combo on it and no luck, however I'm currently using my Logitech Wii Keyboard just fine on it. I'm gonna look into bluetooth ones for portability though

I tried to use the Microsoft Arc on my GTablet running Zpad 1106 and it was a no-go. The Logitech wireless worked, but did not display the cursor on-screen.

Still no luck with a mouse
I have managed to get a couple of keyboards to work, one a standalone USB and the other a mini wireless with a built in trackball, but still no luck with a mouse. Even with a standalone USB mouse, nothing.
Oh well, I guess a keyboard is better than nothing.
Maybe I should try a bluetooth combo. Anyone had luck with a slightly modded stock ROM (only added the Flash and marketplace fixes) working with a bluetooth mous and keyboard?

I am looking for a wireless keyboard with touchpad on it has anyone seen 1 of these at a reasonable price?
wireless, bluetooth, or wired

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..

[Q] Does the Logitech Unifying Receiver work with OTG?

Hi, could anyone tell us if the Logitech Unifying Receiver works with Nexus 5 OTG? Does that work with both mouse & keyboard simultaneously? Is there any problem such as responsiveness?

Works as expected. No lag, mouse and keyboard can be used at the same time.

Can I use a generic micro USB keyboard with the kindle fire tablet 5th gen (2015)?

I found a keyboard on eBay that connects via micro USB, and it is meant to be used with a generic 7inches tablet. Before buying it I would like to be sure that the fire tablet has no limitations on the micro USB port, can anyone help me? I couldn't find a sure answer on google

this tablet supports USB OTG which means you CAN connect a pen drive, mouse, keyboard.. and I am almost 100% sure you can connect this keyboard BUT you may have problems with recognizing all keys on the keyboard or problems with different typing languages.. I guess you need to try it to know for sure.. and please let us know if you do..

Two success stories:
- Connected an inexpensive wired USB keyboard via cheap OTG adapter (here). Keyboard instantly/silently recognized. No soft keyboard on input fields. Disconnect the physical keyboard and soft keyboard immediately pops up. Elegant and effortless.
- Grabbed a wireless Logitech K360 attaching receiver to same OTG adapter. Worked perfectly! Instant wireless keyboard. No messing around with Bluetooth. Woohoo!!
I realize this is old news to anyone with a 'normal' tablet that natively supports OTG. First time I got it to work with a Fire (my daily driver is a HDX with lacks hardware support for OTG).

I've been using a Samsung BKB-10 bluetooth keyboard, which I grabbed for $10 on at&t's website a few weeks ago, and it works great!! Every button works.
I am running CM 12.1, so I can't vouch for the stock firmware, but it does work excellent on the CM rom posted here!!

Yes, I use a USB Hub and various devices at the same time on my Fire 7. All of them work - at the same time.
You can hook up a Keyboard and a mouse and a usb stick and a printer, that all of them will work just fine.
USB-OTG is beautiful.

Can you give more detail on the usb hub? I guess you need it to provide power and data pass through, but I can only find one or the other online

Can not power (charge) and use OTG devices simultaneously. It's one or the other.
