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:

Keyboard too:

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!

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"

[Q] Which cheap bluetooth mouse works ?

Hi,
I have tried to pair my Logitech M705 mouse with my Tab witout any success
Probably because the logitech mouse came with its own bluetooth dongle and there is no discover option :-(
Anyway, I am looking for a small cheap travel mouse that is known to work with the Galaxy Tab.
Any suggestions ?

That isn't a Bluetooth dongle. It's simply a wireless receiver, proprietary to Logitech.

This works really well.

I am using a Dell 5-button Travelmouse with my GTab. I have also used a Logitech MX900 and a Think Outside Stowaway Travel Mouse. They all work fine. I would think that any bluetooth mouse you find on sale would be suitable.

The Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 works excellent.

Hm. Bluetooth Mouses?

Hello,
Well, I have the Logitech Bluetooth Keyboard for Android 3.0+.
And then I was wondering....
They have a Logitech Bluetooth Mouse for Android 3.1+
It's 49.95 and it seems expensive to me.
I was wondering if there are any other Bluetooth mouses that I can use fine with my Gtab10.1 that are not so expensive.
If anyone can give me links to any sites and products that work well for this, please reply.
Thanks!

I wish they made it a little thinner, but I'm glad they are marketing specifically to Android. *warm fuzzy*
So I'm tempted to get the logitech just for the latter fact, but will probably wait for something a little more portable.
I'll report back if I find anything noteworthy.

Yea, same here. And thanks!

Any BT Mouse will work with Galaxy tab running 3.1.
I'm using Logitech V470 and no issues!

I went ahead and ordered the Android Logitech because I'm a nerd.
Unfortunately, I selected free shipping through Amazon and it will be a long 5-10 business days for me.
As I said, I wish it was a tad thinner, but as long as it fits in my Tab bag then I'll be happy.

Doesn't have to be bluetooth
My roommate picked up a wireless mouse that uses a tiny usb receiver for use with his Toshiba Thrive. He plugged it in and the mouse worked without a hitch. For giggles, I tossed my usb adapter on and then inserted the usb receiver, and it worked with my Galaxy Tab right away... Until I find the perfect bluetooth mouse, I might simply pick up a Microsoft Arc mouse or something similar that folds away nice and flat.
Food for thought.

Okay, I got this little fella in the mail last night and it is not as big as it looks from the online pictures. If it was thinner I think it would be very uncomfortable. I'm still playing with it. If I get a chance tonight I'll make a short video and show ya'll what's up with my little blue buddy.

The Android mouse is well made and connected easily, but right-click does not seem to work and highlighting text is buggy or doesn't work at all.
How is the V470 with that?

Bluetooth Mouse - no pointer

I have bought a speedlink Bluetooth mouse. The mouse pairs using 0000 and says connected, but there is no pointer. I have connected a Bluetooth keyboard to the One X and it works perfectly...
does anyone have any suggestions how I can get this working?

Im pretty sure you cannot use a mouse, I may be wrong though.
Because even on a Win7 Tab I attempted many different mice, and NON of them displayed a "pointer", but yet, keyboards as you say worked.

I believe a Bluetooth mouse works on the Galaxy S3 as I have seen you tube videos of it working.... I should have got an S3...the HTC one X does not even do OTG with USB memory stick.... very poor the the cost of this device... thats like buying a PC and the USB slot has no host support... very poor from HTC...

Well, really, it's more like buying a touch screen phone and wondering why it's not a PC.

using a mobile phone as a pc is the future. I have a cradle, everyone will be doing it soon and using a keyboard and mouse... this can be done on a S3...
just wast to move with the times... or am i ahead?

I got it working on my China Phone Star B92M. But now i updated my android, i can still connect the mouse and see the HID icon and if i click the mouse works..... only i see no pointer??

phone updated to jelly bean and still the mouse connects but no pointer...
I gave the mouse to a mate who has an S3 and a Nexus 7 and the mouse works not not the mouse at fault....
any suggestions????

wireless mouse?

droider seeks enlightenment:
having found an excellent Bluetooth keyboard (Logitech K810) for my shiny new N7 i'm now looking for a wireless mouse, don't really care if it needs a transceiver or not. searching around hasn't yielded any particularly promising leads. (yes, i've heard of the Google machine, no joy)
is this a weird thing to be looking for? do they all work with Android so, duh!, just buy one or is it so odd/marginal/doesn't-work-so-well that i'm barking up the wrong tree?
related to this, how well do the smartphone-as-mouse apps work with a droid tablet? most say "mouse away on your PC" but i'm not seeing much about doing it on the tablet.

microsoft wedge mouse .. but like the majority of bluetooth devices, there is a bug so you'll need to wait for an update from Google to fix .. you'll probably find the same with your keyboard.

yeah, i'd heard there was a bug but so far the keyboard has been good.
so, bug aside, should any old bluetooth mouse be expected to work well? that's kind of what i'd expect but you never know, tech weirdness and all.

I got the Logitech bluetooth trackpad (k651?) and it works like a charm with my k811 bluetooth keyboard. Have them paired to my Macbook, iPad, and Nexus 7 (2013) with no problems.
Sent from my Nexus 7 (2013)

Fry's had HP x4000b bluetooth mice on sale for $17.99. It pairs and works fine with the Nexus 7 (after adjusting speed).

I have an old MS 5000 BT netbook travel mouse. Works great.

I recently bought a noname keyboard and mouse from ebay, the keyboard works great... the mouse worked once and then was never able to reconnect after hours of unpairing and repairing it just won't ever work again... even tried a factory reset on the tablet no dice.... the same mouse works perfect on my s4 regardless of how many times i unpair it and reconnect
what mice are confirmed working more than once on the nexus 7

I have logitech wireless keyboard and mouse...for my N7(2013) which works really well...I got it from Amazon...and its working really fine..sometimes it creates a problem in connecting and pairing but most of the time it works smoothly and very fine....If you are facing such problems with the mouse then you better consult the customer service support as they could be the right person to sort it out.....

I use a Razer orochi. Its a great little mouse with decent specs and a great scroll wheel. Comes with a zip up pouch and a USB connector to.

Ditto on that here.

magicaly it seems the mouse decided to finaly pair and connect. still shopping for a fullsize bluetooth keyboard to use my tablet as a desktop connected to my tv

I can use my Logitech K810 keyboard and M555b mouse - both Bluetooth.
Works very well, no hickups.
The K810 also have 3 switches to...switch to 3 different BT devices on the fly. I can connect my Windows 7, iMac and Nexus 7 at work flawlessly.

Well i have this combo of wireless mouse and keyboard from Logitech and its working really fine...but the only thing which is worrying me is the instant disconnect of the keyboard time and time...and not pretty sure about the battery life of the keyboard too....but at the price they are offered are worth of it...and the disconnection problem is there but not most of the time.....
this is the one which I have
http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/wireless-combo-mk320?crid=27

For me I use a universal cover with keyboard which uses a cable and since I have a phone I use it as a mouse with droidmote but since im so used to virtual keyboard I often use my keyboard cover as a stand and droidmote as the controller

hi Jimmy,
Are you using the Logitech Wireless Combo MK320 kb-mouse? How are you connecting it to the N7 - Do you have a unifying nano-receiver connected through a OTG cable?
I am trying to connect the K400 with the OTG cable, it is not working out.
Thanks,

here's wht i hav tried. worked great without any tinkering (root, 3rd party apps etc)-
1. sony ps3 controller.
2. various usb mice.
3. mircosoft wireless mouse (the ones with the usb dongle).
4. logitech wireless keyboard mouse combo.
