Bluetooth Mouse -what is best?

Can you guys post which mice you have used with successful connections on 3.1? I've read the MS 5000 had issues and I wanna go pick one up but that's all that Best Buy sells. I already have a keyboard so I just need/want a very small bluetooth mouse. Thanks.

Ms 5000 works fine.

+1 on Magic Mouse. One finger scrolling works like a charm. I also have the Magic Trackpad but it doesn't seem to support any gestures.

hmnnn......apple product connected to the Xoom? Would feel so dirty........

MS 5000 works perfectly
I had to keep trying to get it to connect (it paired right away) but when it did connect, it was fine. I really liked using it with the speaker dock and the BT keyboard.

Only problem with the magic mouse is that there is not smooth scrolling option. Since the mouse does not have a slotted wheel it feels very jumpy

picked up the ms 5000 and it works great. I can run a full server desktop without issue and it's the right size to carry around. I already have a mini BT keyboard so now if I need full capability of a laptop I have it (or as near as you can get). Thanks for the suggestions, pairing was easy and it works out of the box.

Microsoft....ARC Mouse....
Does anyone know if the Microsoft ARC touch mouse will work. I know it comes with the USB Nano connector but I love the style and just need it to work with bluetooth.
Thanks

I have the older Apple Bluetooth mouse with the scrolling ball on top. Works really well!

Had this since my netbook and now my xoom. Very small, portable and battery life is excellent.

This may work if you plug the USB receiver into an OTG cable that then is plugged into the xoom. I heard the wireless receiver for the 360 controller works this way.

Logitech is coming out with a Bluetooth mouse designed specifically for Honeycomb:
http://www.logitech.com/en-us/tablet-accessories/for-android/devices/tablet-mouse-android
Keyboard too:
http://www.logitech.com/en-us/tablet-accessories/for-android/devices/tablet-keyboard-android
It's nice to see Android getting some attention from Manufacturer's in terms of accessories. I am tired of everything under the sun made for Apple while everyone else gets nothing.

It's really just the old v470 with a higher price tag though. But yes, good to see support coming through.
I would go with the Logitech M555B. Works great, and has a frictionless wheel mode.

WTF? How is this ANY different from any other of the 1000 BT mice out there?! Talk about opportunistic marketing!
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

The difference with Logitech and their "Tablet Mouse for Android" device (which really appears to be their old V470 bluetooth mouse), is that they are actually saying in the box that it "officially" works with Android and there is "official" Android support from Logitech.
What this means to is that the general layperson can feel safe that their device is fully supported in Honeycomb tablets. Should there be an issue, the customer can probably call Logitech customer service and have official Android support.
The fact that several Bluetooth mice work just fine with the Xoom is known to us who read XDA and android blogs but I am sure that Logitech is not really marketing to XDA people but rather regular people.
I think that, in the grand scheme of things; this is good for the future of Android. Look at what Apple did with their "Works with iPod" program. It is so great that we have a well known company supporting Android. Hopefully this pushes more companies to provide more "official" support for the Android platform.
---------------------
And just to contribute to the list of Bluetooth mice that work with the Xoom on Android 3.1
The Razer Orochi gaming mouse is a great option that works great with the Xoom
This is a beautifully built device and it completely matches the Xoom's aesthetics as well as those of the Motorola Bluetooth Keyboard. It is not cheap by any means but it works great with the Xoom (and with my PC and Mac as well).

I also use the magic mouse and love it! I am also thinking about picking up the BT keyboard from apple too, it seems pretty small and durable.
I like to call it "the best of both worlds"

Motorola Bluetooth Keyboard + Mouse: $39.99

Awesome deal at Motorola today.
Retail value is $69.99 for the keyboard and $29.99 for the mouse, so saving $60 here. I already have a keyboard/logitech mouse so I can't really take advantage of it but I hope someone here can enjoy it!

Thanks! Been eyeballing bt keyboards, that worked out great. 48 shipped to CA.
Cheers, Rob

Ordered this too. Wow, I'm spoiling my new XOOM. Bought the HD speaker dock, an extra travel charger, a car charger, a sleeve and a car mount.

Great keyboard
I saw that deal a couple weeks ago. The keyboard is solid and works fantastic. The mouse is also a nice addition if you plan on doing any typing (for selecting text and inserting cursor).
The only problem I have had is that the mouse does not auto connect. It could be an issue on just by end, but I have to go into settings on my Xoom and manually reconnect to the mouse. Otherwise, everything works fantastic!

I got a call from Motorola today apologizing for misplacing my order. Asked if I was still interested in having them fulfill it. Very apologetic. I said if you really want to make it up to me then throw a camera connection kit in the box for my trouble.

I saw this and I thought it was great value until I got to the point where I discovered that they won't ship to the UK and the UK shop was still charging £60 (that's about $92) just for the keyboard and wasn't selling the mouse at all.
That didn't look such good value so my money has stayed in my pocket.

got mine today
Paired up really nice and seem to work well. A lot easier to type on this than the screen. Thanks OP for the heads up on this great deal.

Got mine today and they both paired up and work great on EOS ICS. I'm surprised how much they improve the Xoom "experience" (for lack of a better word).
The keyboard is a little bigger than I was expecting but very slim and portable.

Perfect
The keyboard is perfect. I never realized how nice a mouse would be when editing a paragraph or a word document.
If you do buy it, Targus has a great case that I have seen at Target/Walmart/Best Buy that fits the keyboard, mouse, and Xoom perfectly. Just look where they have cases for netbooks.

I use this messenger bag for all of my stuff (I think its the one you're talking about).
Inside I have my Xoom, keyboard, mouse, spare charger, Hdmi cable, microUsb cable w/ optional wall plug in, pens/pencils, stylus, 3 in 1 pen/laser/4gb thumb drive, OTG usb adapter, microSD card adapter and a small notepad.
Awesome bag for $30. Found mine at radioshack but I've seen it at the stores you listed as well.

Bluetooth Mouse?

Hey,
I am looking for a bluetooth mouse that can pair directly to the phone.
I got this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002Y6CJJ8/ref=oh_o01_s00_i00_details
And although it works great on the PC, it doesn't have any kind of independent pairing without the dongle.
Can anyone link a bluetooth mouse that they can confirm working on the Galaxy Nexus?

I bought the Motorola blue-tooth mouse and keyboard and they work great.
The mouse by itself is $30 but if you buy the keyboard for $40 they give you the mouse for free! (Just be sure to add them both to your cart)
http://www.store.motorola.com/Wirel...JK7GE0?ie=UTF8&prevPageletDesc=DP:Accessories
They had this deal in December and I picked them both up. They work well, just bear in mind there is very limited right click functionality in Android. I had a grand vision of using remote desktop on my phone to access my home PC but quickly came to realize without right click it's kinda difficult.
Hopefully right click support will improve.

I'm using this one and is working great with my GN: http://www.serioux.com/products/keyboards/srx-prc82

This Dell Bluetooth mouse works. Model PU705
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Premiu...35?pt=Mice&hash=item3f1299858f#ht_3452wt_1110

Successfully using a Logitech M-RBB93 with 4.0.2 right now. I guess it could be useful for presentations.

I have the Logitech M310 and it will not pair. AM I doing something wrong?

I have this one that I use from logitech: http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Blue...1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1337988329&sr=1-1
It is one that I just had kicking around (I believe I got it as a gift one year) and I dont use it that often but I just sync'd it with my phone no problem and it gets the job done. However if you plan on using the phone a lot as a desktop computer I would suggest that you get a different one since its not very ergonomically suited for long periods of use (IMO although it could be just that since my hands are pretty big it is just uncomfortable for me to use for a long period).

I use a Microsoft Bluetooth 5000 mouse, paired quickly and works well. Got it on sale for $24.99 so I'm happy.

1) Make sure the mouse isn't currently paired with another device.
2) Tap the "connect" button on the mouse to make it discoverable.
Just tested with my Logitech v470 and it works flawlessly.

Razer Orochi mouse seems to work well. Haven't tested it extensively though.

my bluetooth mouse have an usb adapter for the laptop (its called logitech unifying receiver), so i think it's not a standart bluetooth mouse maybe
because there is no way to see the mouse with my gn, or even with the bluetooth on the laptop, only work with the adapter
not a big deal anyway..

What sort of applications will a BT mouse be compatible with? Buying a mouse for a phone seems hardly worth it.

It may just be a wireless mouse then if it requires a USB dongle.

Any and all applications, really. It may not make much sense (to you) for use on the phone's screen, but what about when you make use of the HDMI video output and have your phone displayed on your TV? And, of course, since it is the Bluetooth standard, you're not buying a mouse JUST for a phone. The mouse will work on anything that supports the Bluetooth HID.

Ah yes I had totally forgotten about HDMI output onto the TV. For convenience I suppose a BT mouse would be the best alternative.

I use this mouse with my Nexus GSM, works quite well, I also use it with many other computing items. Paid too much for it but I love the way it looks and how it feels in my hand.

Bluetooth Android Keyboard

Hi guys,
Do any Note owners use a bluetooth keyboard? (and mouse?)
Instead of buying a PC for my bedroom which I don't really need, I am just gonna connect my Note to my TV using the HDMI cable but it would be nice if I had a decent keyboard and mouse to use when browsing the web. They do not have to be tiny since they will be used at home but does anyone have any recommendations?
Thanks!
Pictures, videos, links welcome.

Honestly man they all work equally well. I have the Motorola BT keyboard and it's very comfortable. It includes the media features like the play/pause/stop/skip/and volume as well as some shortcut buttons for the browser, music, back, and home button. It's nice and easy to use. I also have the logitech mouse and it works nicely. But it's really up to what would be most comfortable to you as they all work pretty much the same.

This one looks good

that states Android 3.0+ is the bluetooth protocol versions the same between GB and HC?
SOLVED: online reviews have this paired to older phones and tablets with FROYO and GB.. so yup its all ok.

I have the logitech keyboard and it does not work with the stock rooted GB note OOTB. I am waiting for ICS to troubleshoot it if I will even need to. Supposedly it will work with anything above android 3.0. It does come with a very nice multi-function case/stand though, so when it does work with the note I will probably begin carrying it instead of my laptop.

Recommendations for Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse?

Some game stream games like LoL and Diablo 3 can be played using a keyboard and mouse. This doesnt even account for the productivity bump of having kb/mouse. Ive been looking for an affordable bluetooth kb/mouse but cant seem to find anything im sold on.
Id like something small and portable, rechargeable via USB would be a plus but not required. Id also dont want to break the bank. Hoping to get both for under $75. A keyboard that can be folded or collapsed for portability would be good but not if the trade off is quality or price.
Has anyone been using a bt kb/mouse and if so any recommendations?
Thanks
Edit: Should mention i have the shield tablet

Im also looking into the same thing. As I also Play D3 but Ive tried to find something in my local Best Buy but to no avail. The lighted Logitech keyboard that is meant for a mac or iphone in the apple section worked GREAT but it did cost 75 alone. Only suitable mouse found there was 56.

and the Microsoft Sculpt Touch Mouse on amazon also. Comes to 57 free ship.. not bad.. I'm ordering now

The keyboard looks promising. Doesnt look like the mouse is BT though. When you get them let me know how it works. Thanks
EDIT: i may have been looking at the wrong mouse. Explorer touch isnt BT, Sculpt touch does appear to be.

They sure did. Both work great. They keyboard is super thin and really portable. Very lightweight. And the mouse is good and solid on the weight as it takes 2 AA batts. Im happy with both.

I love using my Logitech K810 and Razer Orochi, Both Bluetooth, and work really well with the Shield tablet!

Cool ill take a look into it. Still waiting on the cover to come. Really liking the shield controller. Excited to see how games like Diablo 3 or LoL work with kb/mouse. Any other recommendations would be great. Thanks

I have the Logitech for Androids/Windows BT keyboard and that works well, although I mostly use the Logitech MX5500 that I have for my desktop PC at home and work (and the mouse that comes with it)... I just find that mouse and keyboard so incredibly comfortable to use. Would vouch for most Logitech stuff in this space.
