Is there something I can load into my TF300T (I am currently on Marshmallow since I want to use the Keyboard dock) so that it recognizes my Wacom Tablet as a mouse? From what I've read there are issues with the pressure sensitivity, etc. However I just want to use it as a mouse, regardless of pressure sensitivity. With apps like Autodesk or ArtRage just so I can still practice on the go.
A bit low on funds so I'm trying my best to simply work with what I have. Is there a kernel that exists to support this?
Right now, when I plug this Wacom tablet in, it lights up but there is no cursor on screen (even when I deactivate the touchpad on the keyboard, since I thought maybe it was too much interference).
I am hoping it's as simple as something I have overlooked or can DIY. A lot of the other posts I've seen are concerning themselves with the pressure sensitivity and all I'm looking to do is really just do some line work on some of the apps as if it were the cursor from a regular mouse.
Any response is appreciated!

I have some issues of the touchpad mistaking my palm as my finger and screwing up when I'm tryping to type. There's also a problem with how sensitive and fast the cursor moves. I hope ASUS adds a sensitivity setting in future updates.

In a video review on youtube they said there was a hotkey to disable to trackpad for when you are typing. I don't have my tablet yet and haven't even found a keyboard dock, so I can't verify.
As far as sensitivity, I don't think there is much to be done about it for now. We will indeed have to hope ASUS adds a setting for it.
I have the same issue when I am typing where my palm seems to hit the trackpad and it brings the cursor somewhere else, messing up what I am typing. I guess that is sort of a good thing though because it is training me to be more ergonomically correct and keep my rests elevated while typing lol. There is a hot key to disable the track pad, but it is sort of a pain to have to do it every time you want to type.
I hope they include some settings for the next update to adjust sensitivity and to change what two finger actions do, because sometimes I notice myself trying to do a two finder scroll, and instead, it does a two finger click on a link.
I'm not sure if it's just my cover or not but any time I am typing something the trackpad disables itself. While this is fine when making documents, it really sucks when trying to play games on it. If I hold down wasd to move I can't look around due to the trackpad being disabled. Is there a setting or registry tweak to fix this or is this just how the type cover works?
Wow, I never even realized that it does that. I will keep an eye out and let you know if I see or hear anything to bypass it.

Same here. If a key is being held, the trackpad stops responding until the key is lifted.
did any of u try this with a bluetooth mouse?
Using a separate mouse works fine (Bluetooth or usb). The problem comes from the built in trackpad on the typecover keyboard itself.
It's one of only two issues I have with it (the other being the infamous Fn problem)
ahh kk i dont have any worries i despise touchpads

This is by design, it is to prevent your palms causing the mouse to move while typing. It is implemented in the driver, and isn't user configurable at this time.

Makes sense. It would be nice to be able to disable that though.
I have a bluetooth mouse which I bought for the Surface(the Wedge) but it would be great to be able to play games with the type cover on quick trips instead of having to carry around the mouse.
Obviously tons of people use mouse and keyboard on their Android Tablets. It is much more comfortable typing and navigating using mouse and keyboard. That nice big screen makes it feel much like a computer.
I use them all the time on my phone. I sit at a desk for a good portion of my day. I can setup my phone on a stand, hook up my mouse and keyboard, and I have it at easy access without having to pick it up or really break away from my work position. I have my headset hooked up to it so if I get a call or anything, I'm right there to answer it.
Does anybody else out there use a mouse and keyboard on their phone? If not, have you considered it?
I'm surprised to learn that we must keep our eyes on the tablet while clumsily tapping even when the tablet is connected to a big display.
Instead of plugging a mouse into the touchpad (I guess that's the current workaround), why not turn the tablet into a touchpad when mirroring the display of the tablet on a large screen? With that setup, the tablet display wouldn't actually be mirrored, the big display would look like a desktop computer display with a pointer floating around on it. Also, the virtual touchpad on the tablet could be resizable so that you could simultaneously show a virtual keyboard (neither of which would show on the big display). Or there could be a spot on the tablet display tapped to switch between virtual keyboard and touchpad. Again, neither showing up on the big display.
Let me know if I'm not being clear enough. This has nothing to do with simply mirroring the tablet display to a monitor/TV, I know that can be done through MHL and HDMI stuff. Also, it has nothing to do with using the tablet as a touchpad for another computer. The only components are the tablet and the big display (monitor or TV).
And of course if it's already been done, please let me know.
The simplest of implementations...
The big display would mirror the tablet display. The tablet would show a tiny pointer. How small doesn't matter because you won't be looking at the tablet. The pointer location would correspond to the current pointer location as shown by "developer options" on anAndroid. That pointer would be driven by touch. That should be easy enough, the only difference is that a relative pointer position would be used instead of current finger point position.
Apparently 99% of the programming for this stuff is already done on Android tablets. Probably also on iPads or whatever. It would just need a GUI switch and to make a few tiny adjustments when connected to a monitor.

Anybody connect their tablet to a large monitor? Enjoy fumbling around on the tablet when you could be using precise pointer control? Think this might help for stuff like browsing?
Anybody?
Hello XDA community!
I've done brief google-fu trying to work around issue I have found myself struggling with with nothing to show for it so I come to ask experts because surely, this being such a fundamental problem someone must've already tackled it, right?
So my problem is, I try to use my Android device (in this case POCO X3 NFC, but considering getting Android tablet specifically for this purpose if there is a workaround to issue I'm about to describe since my iPad is nothing more than expensive paper weight it seems) as a client device to access remote desktop and use BT mouse and keyboard to go along with it. Everything is sorta kinda working... except it doesn't as soon as you get to interact with it. ESC and few other keys prioritise Android shortcuts over application, same with right mouse button. I don't think I need to explain why right mouse button closing remote desktop app (Parsec and Moonlight) and booting me back to app launcher instead of opening the context menu on remote desktop is a MAJOR problem. I've found TeamViewer to work alrightish, it catches mouse clicks and button inputs and prevent app from closing itself... if it only wasn't a steaming pile of dog**** to work on - obviously desire here is to keep using VASTLY superior remote desktop experience that either Parsec or Moonlight provides with the benefit of using BT mouse and keyboard.
Is there ANY way that Android system button shortcuts could be completely disabled? I don't want my F-keys to adjust volume... Nor do I want my ESC key or mouse right click boot me back into app launcher...
Also, as a bonus if there's a way to significantly decrease mouse cursor sensitivity it would be greatly appreciated because holy **** moving mouse 1 inch on a desk on lowest setting Android allows for would scroll through several dozen screens worth of content...
I've found this to be a problem on iOS as well but unlike iOS being left at Apple's mercy I kinda expect Android to be more maliable by end-user.
Any takers?
