Mouse on PPC: BlueMouse

A new driver, developed by TEKSOFT (www.teksoftco.com), named BlueMouse, allows any bluetooth mouse to operate on a bt enabled PPC.

The control panel:
First, the user selects wich button to assign a action, choosing from left, middle, right buttons, or scrool wheel. And then, the action, witch can be choosen from a list of 17 possible actions, including left click, middle click or right click, horizontal or vertical scrooling, open an app, close the active app, Alt-Tab to the next open app, etc.
It's also possible to choose different colors, sizes and shapes for the pointer. And the pointer speed, related to the mouse movement.
The setup is quite easy, the driver uses few resources, being very light.
If the PPC tunrs off, when the user turns it back on, the mouse is ready to use, without any problem.
Using a PPC for some time, with a mouse, makes it much easier than using the stylus.
In this version 1.0, it works only with Microsoft bt stack, but in future versions, it's expected to support others.
In a more demanding situations, like long scrools on Excel or Word, a few image artifacts might appear, but that problem is also expected to be fixed on the next version.
For less than 15€, everybody that already owns a bt mouse can use it on the PPC, making it a better investment.
If you're in the market for such a solution, I know only another one: Stowaway. But their software only works with their mouse, so, anybody that already have a bt mouse would have to buy a second one... not very good.
And if you buy a mouse and BlueMouse, it can cost bellow 60€, and Stowaway is more than 100€...

This would be a perfect compliment on the Athena. Has anyone used both the bt keyboard and the bt mouse at the same time? Any isues so far?

Well, I don't need a bt keyboard with my Jasjar...
But I have used BlueMouse at the same time as a bt headset and ActiveSync over bt, without any issue.
Did I mentioned that BlueMouse was my idea?
I speaked about it to Teksoft, they liked it, and voila, even better than my dreams!

It didn't see my Think Outside Travel Mouse. Said it wasn't connected, when not only was it connected and paired, it was able to select the start menu and softkey menus (albeit, with no visible cursor!).

Maybe you can find some answers in http://teksoftco.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1345
But maybe it's a mouse problem. As I understand, the Think Outside software only works with their mouse. Maybe their mouse is restricted also to only work with their software...

Where can i get a nice-cheap bluetooth mause?
THANKS!

Wow, just imagine if +mouselook in Pocket Quake worked!

I Do!

I use a bluetooth mouse with my blutooth keyboard all the time. It's comparable to a desktop experience.
I love it, and it works great with RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol). It's an absolute life saver the combination of the two.

could you let us know the price and the model of yr mouse and keyboard pls.

It works, thank you!!!!!
I am very happy now

BlueMouse should work with the ThinkOutside BT mouse. It's just a standard HID device. I'd try it, but I'm still on a WM2003SE device.

@ futaris
Just been on a private beta session with v1.2 from Teksoft BlueMouse. Everything works well now with my Athena device and Stowaway package ( BT mouse and keyboard). I just got the email that confirms that it has also been released to the public.
Works with my other V270 BT mouse also. I like the V270 more...

Here's the mouse and keyboard combo we tested:
Bluetake BT510 Mouse:
http://store.pressdigital.com.au/bluetake-bt510-mini-mouse-p-676.html
and Roky BT keyboard:
http://store.pressdigital.com.au/just-mobile-roky-bluetooth-fabric-wireless-keyboard-p-3600.html
The mouse works !!! The keyboard has issues running at the same time as the mouse..
How is everyone finding the combo? We've found the BT510 great with the JasJar though..
Cheers

Ive been trying to get mouse look going in quake. I manage to get quake running finally on my vga universal (which was hard enough) but there are a few problems. The mouse is overlayed on the screen etc and the mouse is stuck on portrate mode. But even still its working and is playable.
This is gona be a question that wont probably be answered at least for a while. But has anyone else even tryed to get this working? Would be good to exchange information etc...
Just on the topic of combo mouse and keyboard. I have a Logitech V470 bluetooth mouse and an iGo Stowaway Bluetooth Keyboard.
Ive got both running through the native bluetooth drivers that come with windows. They work pretty much perfect. The only problem i have is with the backlight. It keeps on turning off my screen while im working, even though im using both mouse and keyboard. Ive had to disable the auto backlight which is a pain but ive (almost) gotten use to it now.
Just a side note. Ive used my mouse on warfare incorporated and amazingly enough it works very well. The only problem is is the same with quake is that the mouse is stuck on portrait mode. But the difference with this and quake is that warfare works in portrait which makes me very pleased

Using the Galaxy Nexus as a home theater/desktop PC

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_--zcmqIyRI
Not thinking "ground breaking" or anything, but very nice stuff none the less.
I had an Atrix 4G with the Lapdock accessory (+webtop mod) before the GNEX, so using my android phone as my computer is something i'm familiar with, even though it was in a different way.
I also have the Rii mini bluetooth keyboard and tried once with the Nexus connected to my TV. Just that one time because I received the MHL adapter very recently.

Any other Nexus owners here using their phone as a desktop PC/HTPC/entertainment center?
Any recommended full sized bluetooth keyboard+touchpad?
Thanks

I just use a Bluetooth mouse and a cheap bt thumb keyboard off eBay with a good layout for direction keys. I don't have an MHL adapter yet but it should work. I think your issue is your keyboard\mouse combo may be too complicated without some software.
LTE EX Galaxy Nexus - CM9 AOKP
Asus Transformer - Revolver

Something else I've tried is installing ubuntu in a chroot, accessing it through VNC, and using bluetooth mouse+keyboard with MHL output. Results are shaky at best. VNC is the bottleneck - none of the VNC clients I've tried really work perfectly.
Some typical issues:
- Double-clicking doesn't work
- Keys are not always mapped properly. Escape, Tab, Ctrl, Alt, for example.
- Audio doesn't work at all.
- Because it's through VNC, graphics are not hardware accelerated.
The efficiency of using a full linux install with a keyboard is lost when the keyboard doesn't function as expected.

Looks promising. I would like to see desktop programs like spreadsheets, real time financial apps, or maybe sending something to the printer.

I did. No add ons. Everything was from the GN and the MHL adapter with the back cover off.

this part is easy using Google Cloud Print.
I used it before and it works flawlessly.

This is such a cool idea. When I scrape up a few extra bucks I am definitely going to have to try this at home.

I'm using my SGN as a terminal to access my citrix desktop at work. I used to carry around a netbook for this but now, with my SGN resolution and with the help of a bluetooth keyboard the need for my netbook is gone .
As a bluetooth keyboard I'm using a slightly larger one (compared with Rii you're using): http://www.serioux.com/products/keyboards/srx-prc82

This may be a stupid question but ... How did you have the screen turned on landscape mode?

It's rotated to landscape by default after connecting to TV via MHL.

I dont plan on using mine as a desktop computer but for my galaxy tab 10.1 I have this bluetooth keyboard from logitech that sync'd perfectly and works well with the nexus also.
It is, I would say, about the size of a laptop keyboard so you can get a good rhythm going once you get comfortable with the keys and the size of the keyboard.
As for mouse, I have no idea. I have this cheap one from that is bluetooth form logitech also but I dont like using it. But in a pinch its better than nothing.

Where did you purchase the serioux keyboard?

I bought the serious from a local store (I found it by chance .. I was not looking for it on purpose). I see that lots of online stores here in Romania have this keyboard in stock ....

If you want to make an idea about the size, compared with a full sized keyboard....
// sent from my green robot //

I have a google t.v. Keyboard Which I thought would work but its not discoverable by default so I will have to buy a bt keyboard and mouse. MHL is nice though its great that this can be done.

I have been using this setup off an on for a few weeks now. I actually had an Apple keyboard and mouse sitting around the house and they paired with the device perfectly.
I also did the Ubuntu install and you are absolutely right... VNC is the bottle neck and it makes everything unusable.
While its fun to toy around with, it is still too clunky of a setup for me to make it my permanent laptop replacement. If I could get the output on the monitor to be a tablet layout instead of a close up of the phone screen, it may be a different story.

My GN has basically become my multimedia hub/ desktop. I used the Samsung mhl adapter to avoid some problems I heard about with other adapters. I use the Logitech bt Android 3.0+ keyboard mouse combo. Got these on Amazon.
On my TV I use Gmail, Calendar, GDocs, Netflix, Music, Weather, Market Movies, etc... I love it.
And even use Google Video Chat off the back camera using the keyboard case stand!

}
Setting up the RemoteDroid server on your PC
Here are the steps for downloading and running the RemoteDroid server software on your PC. Before you begin you must already have a wireless home network already setup. You will also need Java SE Runtime Environment 1.5 or higher. Last but not least you will of course need a phone running the Android OS.
Go to http://www.remotedroid.net and download the latest RemoteDroid server zip file.
Extract the downloaded zip file to a folder on your PC. (example: C:\remotedroid)
Now open the location to which you extracted the zip file and run the file RemoteDroidServer.jar
The IP address of the PC RemoteDroidServer is running on will be displayed in the window you have just opened. Remember this IP as you will need it later in this guide.
Setting up the RemoteDroid app on your Android device
Now that you have downloaded and ran the RemoteDroidServer.jar file on the PC that you want to control it is time to configure RemoteDroid on your phone.
Go to the Android Market
Search for the RemoteDroid app, download it, and install it on your phone
Open the RemoteDroid app that you just installed
Enter the IP address of the PC you want to control (This will be the IP from Step 4 above)
Tap Connect
That is it! The large red square on your phone is the mouse capture box, the left green box acts as the left mouse button, the right green box acts as the right mouse button, and the keyboard icon between the green boxes brings up the keyboard input window to allow you to type on your PC.
Enjoy your new wireless mouse and keyboard.

PWOAH!
Free or $2 pro version from the play store

Waaaa
Thanks a lot
It works great
I am on the app
I have just some problems with the keyboard, i use swiftkey and the punctuation doesnt work very well
i will try with another keyboard
But the naviguation is just like this ; ouuuuwaaaa
Edit : I'm on my computer now.
The app works great. Two fingers scrolling. Left/Right Mouse button.
When i said "punctuation doesn't work very well", i explain : on swiftkey i would write a dot, it will write nothing. I would write a ";", it will write a dot. I would write a "," it will write a "9" etc. Or anything else
(I've just tried with the Android Keyboard and it's the same thing. It's not a problem, but I prefere to talk

probably worth mentioning somewhere near the top that you're not the developer of this app?

Nobody else uses this app?
Do you think it's possible to have an app with this features which works in 3G/data? In other words which don't only work in Wifi.
Connection would be made with a QR code flashed on the phone from a java programm or a website on the computeur.
I don't say ‘this app must exist' but i ask myself if this network connection is possible
Thx

this app is very useful when connecting desktop/laptop to tv and control it.. no wireless mouse/keyboard required.. multitouch also works for scrolling up/down web pages, only its missing pinch to zoom function..
thanks op from sharing

Just what I was looking for.
I was gonna buy a mini Bluetooth keyboard for my PC but this does everything and more. I actually found it by accident when Slashdot did an article on 'Droidmote' running on an MK802. Never did get Droidmote working. I found I had to turn off predictive text to get the keyboard working but that's no biggie.
The only thing I could wish for would be calibration for the touchpad or, better yet, ballistics (fast swipe for large movements and slow swipe for fine movements) so I'm off to the developer's website to suggest it.

This was right on time. My logitech wireless key board died on me and this will work fine till I can get a replacement.

nice!!
this is a very nice app...
but the keyboard does not work...

Any comments, questions or feedback?

lol...
run so smooth..
just a request: can you increase sensitivity? i set it to max.. but for me is still slow ... i'll never use my mouse anymore

Great application, I'll won't use those microsoft mini mouses at my notebook anymore.
I can feel some lag(1080p monitor) does anyone feels it?
I want to suggest a Invert feature, so I can use it like a regular mouse(I can't get used to those new touch pad gestures D
You can get access to mouse and keyboard input, can you input like a keyboard?? Can you allow your app to trigger hotkeys with gesture input?
Tip:
With some AOSP ROMs, you can use Expanded Desktop. Enable it, so you won't missclick soft buttons(And you have a greater screen area).

It's a good app, however you might want to compare to RemoteDroid

Thanks for your feedback, the lay is decided by the signal of AP. Strong signal makes little lag.
The keyboard is not just real keyboard, many features of input method is also supported. And hotkeys will be planed to support.
Are you used to use the hotkeys, like "Alt + F1"?

That's what I'm talking about, ctrl+t to open a new tab on many web browsers or ctrl+s to save a file. Or bind keys to gestures(like home to get to a line start).

Wow.
Awesome.
I never knew such a thing was possible. :|
great. i'll test and report asap.

A very nice solution for easy dictation on pc Using the swype beta's dragon voice input background this can be a very powerful tool, not only a mouse....
I would vote for an invert mouse layout as well, or just simply give an option in the settings to place the buttons on the top of the screen.
Another one would be handy: a gesture shortcut for Win+P ,which is the default output selector (only screen1, only screen2, extended desktop, clone desktop)

I'm typing this from directly from the app. It's pretty comfortable and most of the time smooth like butter. Feels like I got sometimes a few hickups and the mouse begins to destroy the perfectly smooth feeling. But overall all I wanted and nearly perfect. Will use live my couch life.
I like that the keyboard comes out if you switch to landscape mode. Neat feature.

I agree.... very frustrating, especially when my clock can do it without needing to be unlocked

I'm experiencing this as well but only when I use one routine I have and I don't need to unlock it the routine runs but I get the message. Weird!

Enabling every single one of those options still doesn't allow, for example, lights in the Home app to turn on. As described earlier, you can initiate the process without unlocking, but it won't proceed until you actually unlock. Thanks anyway.

yeah I have all those settings activated already. still does it unfortunately.

Nest Mini is a good suggestion, but personally, I keep my Mini's microphone switch always off. I want to do everything by phone. Maybe the OP will like the idea better. Google should just fix it, though.

I should mention, I had to add my location twice into Smart Lock to work and now it works perfectly.
I also have to ask, what is the point of the nest mini with the mic off? The speaker is very low quality compared to other speakers in its price range.

Doorbell, cheap (I got one for $15 and the other for $20), and my wife is happy with how it sounds just fine.
I've got a Denon receiver for the high quality needs.
Since it comes with a physical switch for the microphone, I'm sure there are others who feel similarly.

i've tried doing the boxing trick with smart lock location ie 4 separate location points around the corners of my home location. I used to do that with my samsung. i'll see if that helps. stupid bug tho that should just be fixed.

I should mention, I had to add my location twice into Smart Lock to work and now it works perfectly.
I also have to ask, what is the point of the nest mini with the mic off? The speaker is very low quality compared to other speakers in its price range.

Oh, another reason is they're very small, you can buy mounts that make it so you can just plug it into the wall and the speaker is held right there above (or below) the wall socket, so it's out of the way.

adding further smart lock points made no difference. nifty trick from google. this particular facility doesn't fully work, so you're pushed towards buying a nest or two.

Did you add and remove your location more than once? That's what I had to do and now my smart lock works flawlessly. It turns on right when I walk in my door and off just a few feet outside it.

smart lock in general is working, but I still randomly get asked to unlock my device when issuing voice commands.

I am having this issue as well. Just switched from 4a 5g to a 6, and ever since then I very frequently hear "but first you'll need to unlock your device", even when I never said anything that even sounds like google. Plus it interferes with me using my dedicated assistant devices in my house. I don't want to disable assistant completely on my phone, because I use it while I am out and about, but if it is locked, I don't want it to respond at all. All of the toggles mentioned in the screenshots here are unchecked, yet it still does it.

Same issue here. I have a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra and it does this all the time. Have anyone tried to suggest a "feature request" to Google Assistant team? Maybe this can be a future enhancement as this is such an important and common use case. I'm thinking that if it really want to be secured, maybe it can trigger something like:
sure, but first you'll need to unlock your phone. What's the passcode?​Then if you are driving and can't type in the passcode, you can then just "say" the passcode, etc.
Thoughts? Thanks!
