Yes you can use a cheap air mouse with keyboard cheaper than magic mouse but some keys are missing or not working :
Home, Back, guide, 3D, parameters, device, colors keys
You can also use a keyboard with touchpad

Hello.
I'm interested in a Transformer Prime pad, but don't have one (yet…? ), so, please pardon the question… Anyway…
Is the keyboard from the KeyDock also usable (as a keyboard…), if the display isn't docked in?
Oh, and if the keyboard is used, does Android then also display the (in this case) useless on screen keyboard when text is entered? I hope not…
Lastly, I'm interested in the keyboard layout; how many keys does it have? Does it also have a <ctrl> key? It would be awesome, if somebody could please post a picture of the keyboard (or a link to one…).
I'm asking, because I'd like to figure out, how feasible it might be, to use the thing as a SSH client (using e.g. ConnectBot).
Thx,
Alexander
No, no, lots (could you not look at a picture?), yes. Connectbot works okay, but key combos don't always work. ConnnectBot needs to be updated for full support
Thx for the quick response!
I suppose connecting a Bluetooth keyboard to it would work, wouldn't it?
I know, I'm getting Off Topic, but… How about a USB and/or Bluetooth mouse? On YouTube, I found the video "How to Use a Bluetooth Mouse With the Acer Iconia A500", which shows that BT keyboard & mouse work with 3.1 — on the Acer device. How about Asus?
And, if mouse works, is copy/paste in ConnectBot as easy as it is on a "proper" Linux xterm or as in PuTTY?
Thanks again,
Alexander

I use a bluetooth keyboard with Connectbot, and yes the stupid on-screen keyboard appears, but pressing the Back softkey (or Esc on the keyboard, in my case,) hides it.
Key combos don't work for me, because Ctrl is not passed into the app, I think that's my S3 being dumb, but the Menu key on the keyboard brings up the menu with copy/paste and other options, so that at least is OK.
I think a mouse would technically work, but most apps are designed for touch-only, so I don't know if they would handle a mouse correctly. And it would probably be an app-by-app question.
I setup Daggerfall with mouse set to physical and have tried both relative and absolute and in game mouse look turned on, the problem is that i can only turn about 90 degree from left to right. When the android cursor hits the edge of the screen i can no longer turn. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be much appreciated.
you are not alone...

I have the same issue with my nexus7 and I think that most other devices will have it too... Obviously, this problem isn't specific just for daggerfall - since the android mouse pointer won't leave the screen, you can't turn in any 3D game (or scroll in strategy games... etc.).
To my knowledge, there is no way to disable android mouse pointer and I have read that google forbids apps to disable it too. I use a simple workaround which is to set the mouse pointer speed in android settings to minimum - than the mouse in dosbox moves a lot faster that the android mouse.
It won't solve the problem completely, but it makes the games playable - you still need to be careful not to hit the edge of the screen with android mouse pointer, but you can turn about 720 degrees in one direction before that happends (than you just move the cursor back to the center of the screen and continue playing...)
Unfortunately, I think that the only way to get rid of the android mouse pointer completely is to flash a custom rom which doesn't have mouse support built in at all (but of course than you couldn't use the mouse anymore - except for gaming in dosbox...)
it is ok

You are correct in that the Android OS does not expose any API's to disable the Android mouse pointer. This becomes a problem in some games, because the Android mouse pointer will not go past the screen edges, thus disabling scrolling when you are using an external mouse (ie. bluetooth mouse or touchpad on the TF101).
There are four possible work-arounds built into dosbox turbo:
1. Screen Scaling Reduction + Absolute Mouse Mode (w/Hardware mouse):
In the settings menu, try reducing the screen scaling to less than 100% (ie. 90 or 95%). This will leave a small black border around the screen. When dosbox Turbo detects that the Android Mouse pointer has entered this black border, it should then emulate the mouse at the 'edge' of the screen. This special work-around will only work in "absolute" mouse mode, as there is no easy way to emulate such behavior in relative mode.
2. Analog GamePad mouse Emulation (w/Hardware Gamepad)
In DosBox Turbo 2.1.7+ analog sticks on gamepads are automapped to mouse and joystick control. So if you plug a Logitech, XBOX, or other supported gamepad into your TF101, the right stick will control the mouse movement, while the left stick will control the joystick.
3. Virtual On-Screen Mouse Emulation (w/Virtual Joystick)
If you go to the setting Virtual Joystick -> Use Joystick as Mouse, then when you enable to virtual onscreen joystick, it will then control the on screen mouse.
4. Touchscreen Mouse (w/Touchscreen)
The final work-around is to go back to the default touchscreen mouse. Using the above screen scale reduction trick + absolute mode will allow for scrolling in games that work with absolute mouse mode. Relative mouse mode is not affected by the scrolling issue.
I'm having an issue while using DOSBox:
I can't play shooters like BLOOD etc. using the right analog stick of the Samsung Gamepad for Android (GP-EI20) which is connected via Bluetooth to my Galaxy Note 3.
Everything else works but the right analog stick is just not being recognized (simply as if there wouldn't be one).
I'd like to use the right analog stick for mouse strafing but don't know how to solve / configure this.
Any suggestions?
so i like playing games on my tf300t and i would like to play fx dead trigger with mouse or controller. to do that you need to root and i dont want to root becouse rooting breaks warranty, is there any way arround this? or can someone come up with a alternative
any help appreciated.
If you have the keyboard dock try plugging a usb mouse into it on the right side. Otherwise maybe a blue tooth mouse and keyboard. I think the real problem is that the apps aren't designed for that type of input.

yeah i know and the people who do it uses a app that needs root :C and i guess theres no alternative
hey :]
please tell me theres some line of code somewhere where i can simply put some # in and deactivate the right mouse button this way?
im running a Minix X7 on my TV controlling it via a Logitech TK820 and External Keyboard Helper Pro - everything works fine, except that sometimes I accidently tap on the right/down half of the touchpad and go "back" since that seems to be the default binding for "hardware mouse right button click".
With Tincores Keymapper i can bind/map the *hardware right click* to a left click, so it is possible somehow - but i need External Keyboard Helper Pro ;/ Either bind the right mouse click to a left or deactivating it at all would be fine!
Searched though forums and .kl-files, but all I could find theres is the binding/mapping of the keyboard-keys, not the *mouse buttons*
Thank you very much in advance!
cheers,
Clemens
Hi,
Is there any application which can swap/change/emulate left mouse click as a touch?
Example:
I have mouse connected by blue tooth and in some (or even most) games left click mouse button doesn't work. Is it possible to use mouse left button as a touch ?
I know there are a lot of apps which can map buttons on screen but I am trying to play rpg games, unfortunately you can't map buttons in this type of game so the only option is to change click to touch.
Any help/hints will be appreciated.
