Will any Bluetooth Mouse work?

I have a bluetooth keyboard from logitech, and it makes the tablet much easier to use, more of a laptop experience. Now I wanted to use the tablet connected to my TV, but find it a hassle to have to use the screen to select things. ect.
My question is, will any bluetooth mouse work? Logitech has a special android mouse, but its $50! I see other bluetooth mice out there for about $10-20.
Will any bluetooth mouse work? Or do I need a "special" android tablet mouse?
Thanks!

No. You need to be sure that the mouse pairs with the tablet via a 4 digit code (usually 1234 or 0000). The Targus bluetooth laser mouse (AMB03US) supposedly doesn't need a code, but I couldn't get the tablet to pair without it. I switched to a different mouse (Targus Bluetooth Comfort Mouse #BH3874)which used a code and it worked flawlessly.

yes ı use atech bt630 is work

YEAP!!
Yes!! With current Technology, many Bluetooth Mouse are possible to be paired with tablets. Some of them is specially built for pairing purposes too You may ask Acer/Tablet Specialists near your area, for ensuring your Tablet A1000 is confirmed compatible to your plan-to-buy Bluetooth mouse

I took the risk and bought a cheap "slim black bluetooth mouse" from ebay ($10) and it works! Im currently using the logitech android keyboard. I know any bluetooth keyboard will work, but the Android specific funtions really make things easier.

Hello. I have a bluetooth keyboard and mouse that pairs and connects succesfully but after entering in idle state for a few seconds they both stop working until i press on the keyboard or mouse. Is that normal? Is there a way to avoid this idle state and loss of connection?

Does not shows mouse pointer on N7 screen
Argh! i've been trying more than 1 week figuring how to let my nexus 7(2013) shows the mouse pointer. I was able to use my bt mouse at the 1st time connected to N7 but after disconnect and reconnect it again, it does not works anymore. i have try to unpair and pair it again several times, restart my device, it did paired with N7 but it doesn't shows the pointer on the screen. i am sure my bt mouse works well, i am able to use it on my pc and SGS 3 but not my N7 after disconnect it. Anyone having this issue too?

Bluetooth working mouse with Android devices
Hi
Last month I bought Modecom BT keyboard with case and mouse (set) for Sony Xperia Z2 tablet.
Keyboard - model Modecom MC-TKC10BT and mouse model - Modecom MC-BM6
Keybaord has worked well since beginig, but I have had problems with mouse - flickering, many stops,
completely unusefull.
I have paired both devices with Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 (rooted - X-Note ROM version - 16.0 by Soloilmeglio - Xentrix
Android based 4.4.2) and there was the same problem (only with mouse).
I have thought there is Android problem, but I have bought new - cheap mouse Esperanza Model EM123K and it works well and smoothly.
There is not any stops and disruptions.
It seems that is not an Android problem (As I wrote on some internet sites and forums), but hardware problem with some bluetooth devices.
Best regards
Marek

[Q] PS3 Sixaxis Controller Pairing

Hey all,
Just curious if anyone has been able to get the PS3 controller working over Bluetooth with their new Nexus 7? I have tried with the Sixaxis app from the market with no success.
Maybe a new kernel is needed?
Thanks

I got it working had to root first tho

Do you use Bluetooth or USB OTG to connect?

I was able to pair to my rooted N7 using the sixaxis tool and an OTG cable. Otherwise, you have to manually enter the bluetooth address of the controller using the sixaxis pair tool (http://www.dancingpixelstudios.com/sixaxiscontroller/tool.html).
I had to try a few times to get it paired successfully but in theory, all you need is the sixaxis app and a rooted N7. The OTG cable makes pairing easier since you don't have to find out the bluetooth address of your controller, but the PC method will take care of that if you don't have the cable handy.

Ohhh.. I always forget to mention. When you are pairing your controller on the computer, you have to enter the N7s address in backwards.
N7 Address: 3F:45:67:89:4D
Enter into Sixaxis: 4D:89:67:45:3F
Super weird but it never fails Used it to sync up and play some Riptide yesterday. Been using the same method for months on other devices.
P.S.: I use BetterDS3 because last time I tried, Sixaxis Pair Tool did not work with W8.

mouse without root?

Can I use a mouse without rooting my device?

Yes, buy an OTG adapter and plug it in. Also, I believe you can get a bluetooth mouse and use that.

Yes, Bluetooth mouse and keyboard work without issues. I have a Logitech mouse and an Apple keyboard that never gave me problems.

That,s great, I have an HP model that doesn't require a transmitter. On my first few attempts I it wouldn't recognize it. Got it now.
Next question, Is there any software to control settings for the mouse? Everything on the play store seems to turn your android INTO a mouse. What do you use? Thanks.

Linking BT keyboards

I have an old Logitech PlayStation 3 Cordless MediaBoard Pro. Now that we have root, is there anyway to get this thing to pair with the Fire TV? Any BT related files anything of that nature...
Thanks in advance!

I have been trying to link this one, I cannot get it to work. I would like this one for the simple fact that it has a mouse pad built in. however, I have two more which came with USB dongles, those two work.

Motorolla KZ500
Do most bluetooth keyboards work out of the box on the Fire TV?
I have the Motorolla KZ500, with a combo slide-out touchpad. It is connecting to the Fire TV using the sideloaded settings.apk, but it does not do anything.
any ideas or suggestions?

Has anyone successfully used their phone as a BT keyboard? I know there are apps for this in the play store but I cannot get the phone (nexus 5) or the firetv to see each other.

Somehow, I'm thinking that wasn't a BT dongle at all, but just an RF non-BT keyboard/mouse dongle.

Unless Logitech don't know what kind technology they use, it is definitely BT

It's not one of those Unifying dongles, is it? Those aren't BT.

Fire TV with Bluetooth keyboard + mouse/trackpad

I apologize up front because I can see that this has been discussed but I can't find a definitive answer after reading through all the different threads.
Is there a way to pair a bluetooth keyboard + mouse/trackpad to the Fire TV with a device that can't be rooted?
I ask because like a lot of others, I just pre-ordered the Fire TV Stick. Now I know it's not out so we don't know what it can/can't do but assuming the code is the same, I'm trying to do some homework before it arrives. And since the Stick doesn't have the USB inputs, I have to rely on Bluetooth or maybe an app for a virtual keyboard/mouse if anyone knows of one.
Thanks in advanced!

I didn't even think of that. I ordered two. I use my K400 occassionally for different apps. I was using the limitless remote app too. The new Fire Tv Remote app might work but I will miss the K400.

Yeah. I'm looking for it to use with HBOgo mostly. I'm guessing that the mouse is the important input to get that working.

It will be great if I can pair my Bluetooth mouse with Fire TV Stick.

This works well with the FireTV: http://eud.dx.com/product/ipazzport...google-tv-player-black-844230388#.VHTNJTSsVx0

Is that a bluetooth device? Or does it have a USB dongle? The Fire Stick doesn't have a free USB port.

USB dongle. I don't use the port for anything else so its fine for me.
Has anyone tried a USB hub on the Fire?

This is exactly what I am trying to figure out also, a Bluetooth keyboard/trackpad that will work with sideloaded apps like HBO GO or NFL Game Pass that are not compatible with the remote.

usb dongles work on firetv, not on firetv stick.... for now.

Would also like to know, sideloaded Settings.apk on mine to get to the stock android settings. Can detect Microsoft bluetooth mouse, Monoprice bluetooth headset and sound brick but none of them pair right. The two audio devices make a pairing sound. But don't play audio.

I sideloaded the settings.apk, and using it I'm able to successfully pair Apple Wireless Keyboard and Apple Magic Mouse. Both keyboard and mouse functionalities work just as if it was USB keyboard/mouse.

Yes, keyboard pairing works with both Fire TV and Fire TV Stick. I've sideloaded the settings apk and have successfully paired the AERB IBK-02 keyboard with trackpad/mouse to both devices. This keyboard has a trackpad, but it has limited functionality. Although scrolling is possible with two finger touch, you cannot click and drag. For this you'll need to pair up a Bluetooth mouse.

I picked this up for my Samsung TV ( doesn't work with mine - no Bluetooth )
But, it works with my Sony GoogleTv and my FTV stick with settings apk side-loaded
the nice thing with this keyboard is that you can pair it with 3 different devices.
It has a selector button on the top to choose which one.
I haven't played with it very long and am trying to figure out what works and what doesn't
To use the touch-pad a switch on the bottom needs to be slid to "mouse mode"
I can't use the TV specific buttons on the right side of the keyboard. Wish i knew how to get them to work with the GoogleTv - it has an Ir blaster built in and will control volume,channel,etc
It will power my TV on and off - it has an Ir transmitter. But, that is all that does - strange
They are marked down to $39 at Best Buy and there are usually many open boxed ones to be had for less. Original price was about $100
But, they are mostly useless for the Samsung Tvs that they do work on - Most of apps do not support the keyboard or so I have read.
Wish the was some sort of unifying remote that I could connect to it and then plug into my TV though.
If you get one, the touchpad goes into a sleep mode after 30 seconds or so. I've read that hitting any button will wake it up. I didn't know that at first and was pairing it , unpairing it and powering it off.
If anyone else picks one of these up, Please post your findings
