hi everyone,
i am to hoping create an exhaustive list of bluetooth mice for the galaxy note. it will help everyone looking for one, and i think it would make a wonderful device for remote desktop sessions.
if anyone can list any models they can confirm to work i would be greatly appreciative. also, please list any you have tested which do not work, as this will help narrow down the search.
thanks in advance.

So which is it? "Reportedly working" or "confirmed working"? It's one or the other but it can't be both.
it has been confirmed to work by a user over at phandroid.
so I guess we will take his word for it =]
Confirmed working (on AOKP) -
Apple Magic Mouse, complete with scrolling gesture.
magic trackpad works
The mouse on the Logitech DiNovo Edge is working as well.

Reserved for later: when I get home I will test with my razer orochi (the thought never occurred to me to use it with my phone!) The only thing I want now is a mhl adapter so I can use it as a portable media storage medium which I can connect to my tv
Edit: it works flawlessly

So do we have a list of bluetooth mouses that cab be mapped to all android functions on the gnote?
I am looking for a cheap one (maybe from ebay) that can perform all the android functions.
This guy states that his dell mouse can do it all (except for the home key):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEb-DICYCgg
Left mouse button = single press and hold to do long press
Right mouse button = back function
Wheel scroll = scroll/swipe up and down
Wheel button = Menu
? = Home
Any standard bluetooth mouse should work.
ie as long as you don't need to install proprietary mouse mouse drivers to use it in Windows, it should work on Android.
In regards to the right mouse click mapping to the back button, I believe they changed that with ICS.
In GB, right click used to map to the back button, but in ICS it no longer does. I presume that change was to allow applications to support the right click function.
I have a Buffalo BT Laser mouse BSMLB01.
It also has a back and forward button for back and forward in a web browser in Windows.
The back button maps to the back button on ICS.
The forward button doesn't seem to do anything.
The touch pad on the Rii mini also works fine.
Thanks for the info.
Yeah i have connected one from work before, but it has no Menu button mapped.
It is so useful so have it, instead of pressing the Menu button on the phone.
At work - I tested a Logitech MX laser (M-RBA97) mouse and it only has the Back function mapped - not the Menu button. It has so many other buttons, but none are usable.
There must be a mouse out there that can do all, Menu, Back, and maybe even search.
Or maybe an app that can remap buttons on common bluetooth mouses.
I am also looking for a bluetooth keyboard too, and would also need the Menu, Back, Home functions.
Wouldn't it be really informative, if we had a sticky post that listed all known and tested bluetooth devices and their pros & cons, purchase price & place, etc. ?
Everyone can just edit or add their findings to keep it updated.
Logitech have an Android keyboard that has back, home and menu buttons.

I was looking more towards cheap/ebay ones around $20... the mouse and keyboard are not critical but would be nice to have...
Office shops sell same ones for $40+ so a bit too much.
I think if i get a bluetooth keyboard with the F1, F2, F3, etc. function keys, it will do it all..
ESC = back
Menu (on right of the Space key) = Menu
F2 or F3 is Home
I dont think this kb has been reviewed here yet.. the F keys are secondary so its going to be a pain to press 2 keys every time..

There seems to be 2 key layouts on ebay for the same model/design.
I have Toshiba Bluetooth mouse which was working in GB 2.3.6, but I updated to ICS 4.0.4 and the mouse can not be paired. When I try to pair the mouse it gives me a pop up that I should enter a PIN to pair the device, but the mouse never wanted a PIN in GB 2.3.6 and was working good. The stock pins 0000, 1234 are not working either.
Logitech MX5000 Revolution Working
Hello all,
Have just tried my Logitech MX5000 Revolution bluetooth mouse and paired (with code 0000 ) straight away with the Galaxy Note GT-N7000 running stock rooted rom fine.
All buttons seemed to respond OK and mouse pointer was working fine.
Cheers.
You mean the logitech mx5000 has a button for Menu? or just single press and back?
thanks

And i have an A4Tech mouse that used to work fully with my Note N7000 while i was using the stock GB ROM. But now when i have upgraded to Stock ICS (i have tried 3 ROMs), It aint working fully. It gets paired and left mouse button and scroll button function properly but the right button aint functioning as Back; it is performing the same function as of left button i.e., selection.
Anyone knows what could have happened?
Anyone with the same issue?

Thats exactly what im facing with ICS ROMs.
But whats the point in changing it? It seems more like a bug bcoz without back, its functionality is far too limited.
Cant there be a MOD for that?

So here's the deal. I turn on ouya, try to turn on controller, lights blink but it never connects. It just stated this out of the blue. I can use a usb keyboard and USB mouse to move around the launcher but can't select anything such as settings with them. I switched batteries out with fresh batteries and pushed them in snug. I've tried several reboots, I've tried turning it on and off without the USB devices plugged in. The date and time are all jacked up on it now and there's nothing I can do to force it to connect or select a menu. I got the controller to pair over Bluetooth with my phone, but I cant get the phone to find the ouya though. I have it rooted through wonderekin's method and the mod list installed along with a custom ouya launcher. But this problem just started today. No issues til now. Any help?

I've searched all over the web and can't find an issue like this where the controller just won't connect. Its driving me crazy. If I could just get the damn thing to factory reset I would try that, but the mouse, keyboard, and controller are all basically useless. I just get a launcher I can move around the main screen but cant relay any button presses via mouse and kb to select anything. I found some method involving a USB keyboard and pressing alt and systreq (print) button but it never worked. I think the thing just wouldn't recognize the button presses.

It happened to me few times. What I do is open ouya launcher, go to controller section of ouya settings and then long press the ouya black button until the two central leds are on (pairing mode), after few seconds the controller pair.
To move on the ouya launcher I use a logitech usb mouse and I'm able to click on menus.
hi guys,
I am using a Bluetooth mouse with my note 8. The left mouse button works as expected, but I would like the right mouse button to work roughly as it does under windows. Is there a way to assign functions ( like copy/paste) to the right mouse button. Right now it will close a window if I press it.
Incidentally I am using both a Bluetooth and a USB keyboard( with the docking station) and many of the keys don't work as expected. For instance, the escape key will close a window. Is there a way to assign a function to a key?
bump
Hi guys,
Just giving this a bump. It has been here for a week and no reply. Please let me know if there is a better forum for these types of questions.
Last I tried my wireless mouse I had the same issues which I think are either android related or touchwiz implementation. So rightclick works as a back button however if you hold left mouse button for a while you should get the context menus or what ever you expect rightclick to do. Not ideal but works. In win7 I get same behaviour with my wacom tablet pen.

i think its an operation system issues , how to react on right mouse click.
i use a mouse on my n5100 when i need to connect rdp to my WIN7 desktop,
and there, right click works just fine.
i think, if you want to call context menu with right mouse button on android,
(which is done by long clickin), maybe try searching for apps that control those kinda functions.
is this possible to use it over bluetooth and if so how is it done?
go to the 'pair controllers' screen, hold share and the ps button for 5 seconds(or until it flashes 2 then 2 back and forth) it'll show up. I had problems with mine timing out at first, and square is accept and x is back, so that's weird. it's usable on emulators. if it times out on you you can try plugging it into a phone charger and pairing it while it's plugged into a phone charger. I did that both times I paired mine, so maybe it helped?
I got this to work using carbanm's method. It's fine in the menus, despite the buttons being a little out of order, and it works well for simple games like Sonic. I tried playing Sev Zero and GTA:SA with it though and it seems to be missing most of the button mapping, the triggers don't seem to function at all.
I used settings.apk to connect an Apple wireless keyboard and trackpad. Everything works fine so far except that tapping the trackpad does nothing. I can scroll around perfectly but can't select anything. I've tried it on all kinds of surfaces, tried restarting the Fire TV stick... anyone here have a solution to this?
Thanks

Tap to click doesn't work. You need to push down on the pad to physically click the pad buttons. Assuming this is 1st gen trackpad the 2 rubber feet are actually the buttons to click. For some reason not all apps support the click of the pad meaning I've had to highlight the button with the pad then "click" the remote for it to work.
