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!
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"

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 can confirm this, I have the same mouse and it works excellent with the tablet.

Any recommended bt mouse out there? Needs to be small and ligtweigt
Hate using the usb adapter when browsing with a mouse...

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?

[VIDEO] Bluetooth on ICS over MHL

Hi there, I found a bluetooth keyboard and mouse laying around so I thought I'd make a video showing some of the ways you can use it via MHL.
Seems youtube compression robbed quite a lot of quality.
Looks like ICS has improved over Gingerbread here, landscape home screen is default and better integration of the scrollwheel.

Nice video really cool feature!
Sent from my X10i using xda premium

Cool feature but nothing new. Honeycomb has had great mouse and keyboard... and USB gamepad support. I also have this feature on my G2x with CM7 as well on my transformer.
I have a BT thumb keyboard and BT Microsoft 5000 laptop mouse.
G2x - 2.3.7 CM7
Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV

OP: Very cool. Can any bt keyboard and mouse work with the phone? If not, which ones would you recommend?

Oh I know, I've played with it on a GS2 as well. Just noticed a few improvements for bluetooth peripherals in ICS, that's all.

Don't see any limiting factor, if you just want it as something to play with I'd just get some cheap bluetooth stuff should work fine. If you plan on using it a lot, get whatever you feel most comfortable with, I like logitech peripherals myself especially with their legendary customer service.

Yea they all connect using the same Bluetooth profiles. My BT thumb keyboard can't be any cheaper, China made el-cheapo quality ... but works great.
I've had this setup just out of boredom and curiosity but never had the need to use it in real life.
The thumb keyboard was purchased for its directional keys to use as a bad gamepad. Haven't tried it yet.
G2x - 2.3.7 CM7
Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV

Nice video. Have you tried connecting a Sixaxis controller and playing a game?

Will any micro USB MHL adapter work or do you need a specific Galaxy Nexus MHL adapter?

For those who have the Apple Bluetooth keyboard (it is a nice keyboard) the GN currently fails to even see it to try and pair let alone connect. For comparison my Asus Transformer will see the keyboard and pair but fail to connect and my CM7 Blade/Nexus one both paired and connected
I also couldn't get a wiimote to pair natively nor a zeemote JS1 so the bluetooth controller support seems to be very limited.

@rcfcyl:
As MHL is an international standard, any cable will do the trick.

Yup, any should be fine. I bought mine off ebay which was listed for a GS2.

When connected to an external monitor, do apps that have different layouts for phones and tablets (I think the Gmail app does this, on phones it has a single pane, on tablets it has multiple panes) display the tablet layout, or the phone layout?

Best keyboard and mouse

OMDs (oh my days)
why did i waste money buying the iPad. this thing is amazing. i love the galaxy tab 10.1. I just got the 32GB one. i have it connected to my motorola keyboard and mouse. it works so well. its basically a computer. i love it. anyway, instead of buying the keyboard dock, just get a bluetooth keyboard and mouse. i absolutely love it.
please if anyone has any suggestions about how to configure the keys on the keyboard, like the apps drawer open key, i would love you to leave a comment.

Sorry if I sound idiot (i havent got an android tablet). I have a question, does the motorola keyboard work good on galaxy tab 10.1?
Thanks

Motorola keyboard
O YES it does. works like a charm.only niggle is the dedicated gmail and app drawer buttons dont work. You can live without those trust me. All the other buttons work well asides the two i mentioned. Hope that helps

I'm considering buying a keyboard for the SGT 10.1 and i was thinking about the Samsung OEM keyboard because it is the nearest to a notebook for the SGT. This Motorola keyboard is a bluetooth one? If so, how long does its battery last? Do u have a link to the keyboard description?
Thx.

I have been using the same batteries for months now. I don't really know how long they will last for. But maybe 3 months or over.
I will include a picture of my setup in a bit

portable bluetooth keyboard for the 10.1 that has a touchpad
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.

Definitely recommend the Motorola keyboard. There is a post on here that has a link to pick up some with a free mouse included.

Besides the Samsung OEM Keyboard for the GT 10.1, is there any other keyboard that acts like a dock. The Motorola Keyboard seems fine, but it won't hold the Tab. I want a keyboard that doesn't need a cover with a stand. Does anyone know of one besides the original samsung keyboard?

Just received the Motorola keyboard & mouse combo today. I would highly recommend both of them for use with your 10.1.
Don't know of any docking syle keyboard for the 10.1.

@ coulter6. were u able to map the gmail button or does it work for you? Let me know the other keys that dont work for you. Cheers.

As for a dock, I know I've seen online somewhere, a keyboard dock that acts as a folding case. It leaves the back of the tab exposed, but it essentially turns it into a portless netbook.

Oops, wrong thread.

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.

Check this out on amazon. SHARKK® Backlit Keyboard Wireless
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.
