I recently got the Logitech android bluetooth keyboard, and love it. it works great. perfect size / weight, etc. then I've also got just a regular usb mouse...
ANYWAY... is there any way to set up the keyboard and mouse to be used with games like Modern Combat 3, Shadowgun, etc.?
I'd like to be able to use the keyboard to control movement like it would on a desktop. the WASD setup on Modern Combat 3 mutiplayer would rock my socks off.

I use the Apple magic mouse with my xoom, other then the slow tracking on 3.1 i havent had an issue with it, with 3.2 and above the tracking speed can be turned up and works really well.

I use the Logitech Android mouse, it's also pretty good. They all pretty much work the same.
I have both of the Logitech Android Mouse and Keyboard. love both of them.
my only complaint is that the android mouse is a little small, but its a portable mouse (baggie included) so its going to be a little on the small size.
on 4.0, there is slight slight lag from screen off to screen on when using the mouse to wake up from sleep/screen off
So you guys are using the mouse to play just like on a PC ?

Unfortunately it doesn't work quite like that; the mouse shows up on the screen but acts like a finger touch when you click. Meaning you would have to click and drag on the screen in order for it to act like a "mouse" in game. I use it mainly for surfing the web or something when its on a desk and in the keyboard folio. Not super practical for gaming.

Paired my Logitech DiNovo Mini with my Xoom on 3.1, and both mouse and keyboard in it work perfectly. It is just the right size for getting some work done, though the mouse could use a bit more acceleration
All in all, a great little accessory - next step is to make a charger cable for USB so I can leave the DiNovo adapter at home.

Captivate always on mikey's latest wonder, whether Serendipity or GR-11
I'm uploading a youtube video but will describe my findings with my DiNovo Mini:
- It's responsive enough for government work
- Home is FN-e (explorer)
- Volume Up and Down buttons work
- Rewind, Stop, Play/Pause and Fast Forward all work
- Page Up and Page Down work great in a browser
- Mouse control is great in an RDP client connected to a windows box: I will put my foot in my mouth on this one. This functionality alone enables all levels of professionals to hit the field knowing they can have dependable RDP support and also have the precision and control of a mouse while using the tablet. I could see a doctor carrying this from room to room with a little dinovo mini, setting it down and entering in patient information all while keeping his own equipment secure. The uses are endless.
Here ya go check it out:

I have a similar setup and I also swear by PocketCloud.
Out of curiosity since you guys are Pocketcloud users. I just set it up for the first time (thanks for bringing it to my attention!) and was wondering if you guys know if it supports multiple monitor setups? I run 3 mobitors on my main PC and would love to be able to switch between monitors. Is LogMeIn ignition my best bet?
Thanks!

When used in RDP mode I can tell you that it will not. All desktops get squashed into one. VNC mode may be different.

In Logmein, I can pick which monitor I want, or watch all three at the same time. I can select through the menu, or shake to switch. Pretty neat.
I tried also dinovo edge and it working perfect with all the shortcuts and volume slider

When using the bluetooth keyboard as a keyboard, does the on-screen keyboard still pop-up or do you get to use the Xoom full screen *and* type?
Hello, does anyone know of a portable bluetooth keyboard for the 10.1 that has a touchpad on it. Right now I am using my PS3 bluetooth keyboard with touchpad and it is amazing. There is a cursor that moves and clicks and it makes it so easy then reaching and touching the screen accurately. I would love a keyboard that has a slot that will also hold the tablet up and in place. Thanks. As much as I love using my PS3 keyboard it is NOT portable LOL. Thanks for all suggestions.

Hi, i did a simple search on ebay and found this one: http://goo.gl/ZsbSw
Don't know if it is a good option, but i couldn't find another.
nice, i wonder if its any good...
Well found out that it would be cool to play psx games with FPse emulator, works great) on Note with psx gamepad or even to play anything with gamepad on Note,
first to ask you did anyone tried any of this this?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Joystick-it-...ht_3658wt_1193
or
http://www.amazon.com/Joystick-Touch.../dp/B007KCSJI6
Looks like it could be a cool thing...
And second thing, did any one tried to connect any normal gamepad (via bluetooth or via USB), does it works?
I'm not sure which one to buy?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Phonejoy-And...ht_2796wt_1185
or
http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-Wireless...#ht_5260wt_952
or any other on ebay....
does anyone has some ideas?
There are a few threads on this already, for more information.
Personally I have an iControlpad. And it works great.

I bought this. Works great. Awesome controller for Minisquadron!
In my opinion, nothing beats a ps3 controller with sixaxis app.
Screen controls are just amazing.

+1 definitely agree with that. just sucks cause in some countries the ps3 controllers are terribly overpriced. managed to pick on up off of amazon for 30 bucks with a USB cable and an HDMI cable included.
Hi. Where can I find the sixaxis app?

Pretty sure they mean this:
Sixaxis Controller
I'm also using the sixaxis for emulator type games on my note and it works great.
After a lot of positive comments about the PS3 controller and the sixaxis app i have rooted the note and got the ps3 controller connected via the sixaxis app.
So, then i got n64oid emulator but now am having intense issues setting up a basic N64 controller map with the sixaxis app.
I understand the basic concept of making a keymap, but when i load a screen shot (from any orientation) it always loads in portrait, not landscape mode, and so i am not able to setup the buttons.
Anything boneheaded i am doing here?
EDIT: [solved]
Anyone struggling with creating the seemingly simple N64oid mappings on the sixaxis app, i can confirm that the droid map in this post works fine on the SGN http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22204123&postcount=23

Hi,
I'm going to buy a Bluetooth keyboard for my Note to play some games in the TV :cyclops:. But I have a problem: I have to buy a keyboard IN my country. I only could find this two keyboards (the text is in Spanish, but the image is the most important):
http://articulo.mercadolibre.com.ar/MLA-426622873-rii-mini-bluetooth-pc-ps3-nokia-iphone-ipad-android-wm-_JM
http://articulo.mercadolibre.com.ar/MLA-149748415-teclado-genius-luxepad-9000-white-blanco-bluetooth-_JM
So, the Luxepad is REALLY cheaper than the Rii one. But the Genius page says that is made for android tablets (I belive 3.0+). And for play games, I can assign keys of a keyboard to the games in the emulators I have. So I don't know what keyboard I should buy.. if the Rii, that has some videos in YT, and it WILL work woth the note altough is very expensive or the Luxepad 9000, which I'm not sure it will work, but it´s the cheapest?
I need to be sure that the keys of the keyboard and the arrow keys (fundamental for games) will work good. CAN YOU HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!
I have the Rii mini.
It's a great little unit, but the keys might be a bit small to play games.
I intended to use it for document editing on my Note, but it's too slow to type on. I can type quicker using Swype.
I now mainly use it with my laptop instead of my Targus Presenter.
It has better mouse control than the Targus Presenter (but not good enough for gaming).
Also being a full keyboard I can alt-tab between windows and add short comments to pdf files whilst standing which is cool.
It only has function keys up to F8, which allows me to do some things, but I still need to use my laptop keyboard when I need to hit F9 or F10 in the pdf program I use when teaching.
The other keyboard looks like it has larger keys which meet be better for gaming.

Do you think the other keyboard will work on the Note?
If it's a standard BT keyboard it should.
I've connected an Apple, Logitech and a couple of no name cheap Chinese BT keyboards to my Note with no problems when I was trying them out in the shops.
Some apps might not support all keys like the ctrl or alt keys, but that will be the same with all keyboards as it's app dependent

Lenovo DiNovo >> Lenovo N5902 ~ Lenovo N5901 > the rest

My cousin uses a Rii mini and his favorite aspect is that it is handheld so that you do not have to have a surface to put it on in order to use it. I personally feel that if I will be using it to type, I want to set it on a flat surface, and therefore I have two such keyboards for different scenarios (rapoo for portability and logitech for extended typing).
For gaming handheld seems the better choice to me, unless you are also planning to use a mouse or do a lot of typing in your gaming.
Maybe the Logitech Dinovo Mini is the right compromise between compact total size and not too small buttons for gaming. In any case Logitech usually makes very good quality keyboards (responsive, endurance) and is available in a large part of the world.

I think there's one essential problem with the Lenovo: it doesn't connect with Bluetooth, only with its own dongle.

Sorry I did mean the "Logitech" DiNovo Mini, not the "Lenovo" DiNovo mini.
With the Lenovo N590x you do need the dongle, you can't use it with direct Bluetooth.
I hope for a future version where they do this with an internal battery, give it two trigger buttons underneath for the L + R mouse clicks. They should also bring back the Trackball (extra tactile > trackpad). And alter the shape a little to make the keyboard more comfy.
I just got my new keyboard for my thor, and i was wondering if I can use a BT mouse with my thor, and ifany of you can recommend a good mouse that would work too? (if possible)

I briefly used a BT mouse and keyboard with nexus thor. Don't recall the brand of mouse; pretty sure it was a Logitech. While both devices connected sucessfully the overall experience wasn't satisfactory given touch centric interface. I quickly reverted back to BT keyboard (AmazonBasics) and my trusty finger smudging up the screen.

I frequently use both a BT keyboard and BT mouse with my Kindle HDX 8.9. I even use it to log in to my computer at work through the vpn and at home through Logmein, and the mouse/keyboard combo is much easier to use than the on screen kb and touch screen.
