Is there any way to distinguish between a "Bluetooth mouse" that uses a USB dongle and a Bluetooth mouse that will connect directly to the Xoom? I have 2 wireless Bluetooth Logitech mice, but neither will pair with my Xoom.
I've seen some lists of Bluetooth mice for other tablets, but nobody really clarifies if they are connecting via a dongle or not.
Any insight is appreciated.

Bluetooth is a standard; the dongle that comes with a bluetooth mouse is a courtesy if your laptop doesn't have bluetooth integrated (and not necessary if it doesn't). There are wireless mice that come with proprietary wireless dongles, but that's not the same as bluetooth. You can tell if it's really bluetooth because it will have the bluetooth logo on it (it's an oval with a stylized "B" in it. Google it). (There is more than one bluetooth standard, mostly those are for different audio connections, but for a bluetooth mouse produced in the last few years these make no difference).
Edit: Also, I'm assuming you're using 3.1, which enables bluetooth mice. If you are (like me) waiting for the 3.1 update, bluetooth mice will find the tablet but you can't use them...
I have both a new Thinkpad Bluetooth mouse and a new Amazon Basics Bluetooth keyboard. If I try and pair both of them to my Galaxy Nexus, I end up getting dropouts and duplicates on the keyboard. Disconnect the mouse, and keyboard is perfect.
The pair (Keyboard and Mouse) work perfectly when linked to my laptop.
Anyone else tried using both bluetooth mouse and keyboard ?
Any suggestions ?
I have a Microsoft Wedge Bluetooth Keyboard and I'm planing to buy a bluetooth mouse. But there are lots of complaints about connecting a bluetooth keyboard and a bluetooth mouse at the same time.
Does anyone using succesfully Microsoft Wedge Bluetooth Keyboard and a bluetooth mouse at the same time? If yes or no what brand/model is your bluetooth mouse?

I don't have a Wedge but I have a Zagg Flex BT keyboard and Gearhead BT mouse and have no problems using them together. In fact, I often use my BT Clarion stereo speaker to listen to Tunein radio while I have the keboard and mouse in use. The one thing I do is connect the keyboard first.
I have several brands of BT mice and BT keyboards and they all work together just fine.
I have a bluetooth Ms mouse and a generic bluetooth keyboard with touch pad. If they are both connected, the mouse lags regardless if the trackpad is turned on or not. I am probably going to replace the KB first and see if that clears it up.
Ynt: Bluetooth keyboard and mouse at the same time
I will buy Microsoft Wedge Bluetooth mouse or Microsoft Sculpt Bluetooth Storm Mouse. I read somewhere android system sees sculpt mouse as a bluetooth keyboard. So there should be a conflict. Do you think this is true?

It shouldn't be a problem at all- the "USB HID" protocol (which is what BT mice/keypads/trackpads/etc. use) will sum all devices of the same type (keyboard/pointer/...) so they'll all work together.
(However, the system might enforce exclusive access to a particular type, but I think it only does that for exclusive-use devices like headsets and headphones/)
Ok, I bought the Wedge Mouse.
As I pair it, I can see it as a bluetooh mouse in bluetooth settings. That's ok. But when it connects, a popup says "Bluetooth keyboard connected". I also connect Wedge Keyboard and again get the popup "Bluetooth keyboard connected".
When I use them together, keyboard starts to repeat my key strokes resulting as "Ooohhhhh whaaaaaat's ggooooooinnggg oooonnnnn???". I can also see a little lag for mouse. Like they are using both the same frequency/channel/protocol (whatever it is) and there's a conflict.
What can I do?

That's essentially what the BT spec is doing , but it's OK, they're all made to multiplex together.
For the repeated keys- try changing order that you connect it with when using multiple BT devices
For the mouse-tracking speed, try changing the tracking speed in "Settings" (I wanna say in "Language and Input")
BTW, what Android version is your Note running? (Settings->About Tablet)

I installed External Keyboard Helper from Google Play and it helped preventing repeating keys. But still I feel uncomfortable.
It appears that there is a problem pairing a Wedge keyboard and mouse together in Windows and Android. There may be no fix for Android devices. If you can still return the mouse you might consider buying a non-MS mouse. Here's a link to a thread in an MS forum dicussing the issue you're having. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-tms/wedge-mouse-wedge-keyboard-repeating-keys-help/069cf8de-da2e-49d1-ad14-128670ac0ccf
I just purchased one of these at a bargain [24.99 and no shipping costs] and the scrolling doesn't even remotely work. Are there any drivers for to e3nable the 4-way scrolling or do we have to wait?

There is nothing special about it. When the mouse is paired, it should start scrolling. Are you you using Note 10.1? If yes which android version?

Note 10.1, OS 4.1.2. N8013.
It scrolls like a mouse usually does, but aside from that , the touch features are limited, though I seen on this review it can do horizontal scrolling.

I wonder if I'm doing something wrong or if its the tablet.
EDIT: Checked and the Xperia Launcher is not set for horizontal scroll, but Holo Launcher does it. I will email the developers on this .
I have Microsoft BT Notebook Mouse 5000, noname BT keyboard and BT speaker Bose SoundLink Mini. When i use mouse alone - all OK, it is smooth and fine. But when i connect BT speaker and\or keyboard - i have some lags and pointer moves stroked.
When i connect another mouse (simply wireless 2.4 ghz) via USB OTG - it OK. Phone - Sony Z Ultra (flashed to Google Play edition)
I think, mouse must have upper priority, how i can change it? Thanx!

You can't, but that's not the real issue anyway; I suspect one device's BT radio is out of specification and interfering with the rest. I use a mouse/keyboard/speaker trio quite often and they all play together. Plus, if you're connected to 2.4GHz WiFi at the same time, the WiFi will tend to make BT connections worse when you're actively receiving data, as they share the same band (in the 2.4GHz spectrum).

In this case, my mouse is the device, that interfering It lag with keyboard, and with speaker separetely. With keyboard only lag is litle low. Wifi disabling make lag little low. I know about one band, i was hoping that it frequency modulated(
Will try another mouse, but my mouse is n't cheap (i have bought it for $120 6 years ago) =(

================
This works perfectly:
1. MS Mouse 5000 (BT)
2. MS Keyboard 6000 (BT)
This does NOT work - it causes a lag/delay on the mouse - still trying to figure out why:
1. MS Mouse 5000 (BT)
2. MS Wedge Keyboard (BT) - this is a pretty new device - form is pefect, but I'm gonna return it because it makes my mouse not work
Thanks,
Richard
I have ms wedge keyboard and ms touch mouse, and they both works fine. For the keyboard I also needed to get the app called External keyboard helper pro to get all letters to work including altgr because android (atleast 412) doesnt understand altgr button and im using keyboard layout (finnish) which have extra letters and some symbols are behind altgr + key.
Hmm.. i think i had an issue too with the mouse jumping around, but the app also fixed this issue. Or was it only with the keyboard workin funny and repeating keystrokes... hmm i think it was actually the keyboard working funny but it was solved by that app.

I want to use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
They both pair but never connect? Am I missing a step? I can get other bluetooth devices to pair and connect.
Keyboard: Logitech - diNovo Edge
Mouse: hp bluetooth mouse x4000b
I read all about this MHL set up but so far no luck for me. MHL reboots phone, mouse and keyboard don't connect!
Any help or links to help would be great! Thanks.
