We know that the asus transformer has mouse support with the trackpad. I would prefer to have a full mouse when I I set this up to do typing and office type work.
Can any of you who already have the tablet see if it works with a bluetooth mouse?
I will test this when I get home this evening. I meant to test it last night and in the excitement of getting the transformer, I forgot.

Wow didn't even know this was supported so well. Pairing up brings up a mouse pointer until the connection is lost.
LMB obviously simulates touch.
RMB is the back hotkey
MB3 is the menu hotkey (top right icon)
Scroll up-down traverses open menus. LMB to select. Will scroll in the browser and system wide such as in polaris office.
Full movement as expected from desktop OSs.

That is great news. I want to be able to plug my tablet into my hdmi next to my tv to watch videos and sit back on my couch and navigate. That is awesome, thanks for testing it out!
What about zooming in and out? How do you do that if you can't do multi-touch pinch gesture? Perhaps some sort of combination of button press + scroll wheel?

You still get double click to zoom. Other that that you can't be more precise from just the mouse and I don't have a dock or bt keyboard to try.
Only time I see myself using a mouse is when plugged into hdmi and I feel double tap to zoom and reflow is sufficient.
I wish RMB emulated a long press. I feel that is more natural for a right click. Hopefully this can be altered once HC goes open source.
Pairs with Apple bluetooth mouse and links to input device, but nothing happens. Certainly don't get the pointer that could be seen on the screenshot in the earlier thread.

Hi mate,
I'm having trouble pairing my BF mouse with the transformer. I can see it, but when I try to pair them, the transformer asks for pin and basically that's it... nothing after that.
How did you pair yours?

Just entered the default pin 0000. Check the mouse label if it has a specific pin.
FYI mine is a logitech travel mouse

Yeay, 0000.
It wasn't on the mouse, but I found it in the online manual.

Not one of my Apple peripherals connect and work (magic mouse, magic trackpad or keyboard). My Logitech M555b mouse works correctly though.
Makes me wonder if Honeycomb is deliberately blocking Apple devices from working.

That is highly unlikely. When you go into system/usr/keylayout on the XOOM they even have a dedicated layout file for the Apple wireless keyboard. They would be stupid to fuel the flaming between iSheep and Androids! However, I wouldn't be surprised if the Apple mouse requires special drivers, especially if it is the magic mouse which is not your conventional HID. Or maybe Asus has a beef with Apple, but not HC.

I haven't done any digging into the system files yet on the Transformer, so I can't comment on that.
I find it strange though that they all pair, connect but then fail to actually interface correctly. The mouse cursor does not appear on screen, even though the settings panel recognises them as a mouse and trackpad, and the keyboard just doesn't function - the only time it works is when you have to type in the pairing PIN.
Strange.. Might well be an Asus -> Apple issue/incompatibility or something with the bluetooth chip. Perhaps we'll see a future software fix or hack.
Has anyone had an issue with paired mouse not reconnecting Mine paired the 1st time but has not connected since then.
Mine..

The first connection, more than 5 minutes will be automatically disconnected. Need to connect again.
I use a Bluetooth 3.0 Mouse...
Is this the reason?
I tried plugging in the USB transmitter of the Microsoft BlueTrack Mini Explorer and it works, but response is slow.

I am having this issue also. My mouse works fine on my laptop. I think it has to do with the TF going to sleep. I only notice it just before or just after my TF goes to sleep.

Mee too, Works fine on laptop but not Tablet.
This is definately an issue with the TF screen ging to sleep. While I would like it to automatically reconnect. A temporary solution when using the mouse with the dock is to set the screen to stay on when charging.
EDIT: I just installed 3.1 last night and from my experieces today it looks like 3.1 automatically reconnects with the bluetooth mouse after a disconnect.
I purchased a Targus Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard (has the Android logo and claims compatibility). It paired and connected without any issues and works with all of the apps that I have tried (gmail, text client, Docs To Go, etc.). It also works with Webtop apps, including Citrix (which is why I needed the keyboard).
The problem is that when the keyboard is connected, Webtop will randomly crash and re-start (Motorola logo appears and Webtop re-initializes). I have tried this many times, with and without the keyboard and it is definitely related to having the keyboard connected. Sometimes it will crash right away, while other times it will last 2 or 3 mins. It always fails with 5 mins.
I have tried it using 4G (mine will go to 3G at times due to my area) only (WIFI off) and did not effect the crashing (though WIFI does seem to have conflicts with Bluetooth being on).
Has anyone successfully had a Bluetooth keyboard work? Is there a setting I am missing?
Any help would be much appreciated.
I am still having this problem. Has anyone gotten this to work?
I am using a logitech bluetooth keyboard for android 3.0+ tablets, a bit of a PITA to get it paired, but has been working flawlessly for 2 days now.
http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Tablet-Keyboard-Android-920-003390/dp/B0054L8N7M
Not saying its the only one that will work, I'm sure there are more.
Just a heads up for anyone that gets this keyboard, pairing procedure for the razr is...
1. turn on the keyboard
2. hit the "connect" button on the bottom.
3. find the keyboard in the bluetooth menu on your phone and touch to pair to it.
4. When prompted for the password type "0000" in the popup on your razr.
5. On the bluetooth keyboard type "0000" and press enter. Its VERY important to press enter.
6 your keyboard is paired!
I've used an iPhone4 BT keyboard on my ATRIX....and on RAZR works, too.
Well it turns out the Motorola Wireless keyboard works flawlessly with Webtop as well. Guess I chose the wrong keyboard for my first try.
I am now using the Motoroal Wireless keyboard ... bought through Amazon.
Thanks for all of the posts!!
I am trying to pair a bluetooth mouse to my TF201 on ICS. It asks me for a password and I put in 0000 and 1234 and it still says wrong password. I have paired these with another laptop but it doesn't want to work on my Prime for some reason. I don't have it connected to the dock, is that the problem or is it something else?
It should work. I'm setting here using my TFP with my MS bluetooth mouse. I hadn't thought of using it with the out the keyboard, but it works!
Once you get it paired, don't ever unpair it! Also, if you're downloading a large file, you'll lose BT connecitivity. Took me a long time to get the BT mouse working again.
Do only certain types work? I have tried a Logitech and an HP both with no success.
I know that this is not Bluetooth....but it is a damn good mouse and works well with my Prime and Dock:
http://www.logitech.com/en-us/mice-pointers/mice/devices/6536
Ehhh kind of defeats the purpose...
I got the cheapest one I could find on eBay and it paired. BUT ... the mouse has 2 modes. It has to be switched on first with a slide switch underneath. Also underneath is the pairing button. The mouse has a blue light to show it is doing this. Click on the wakeup button on the top and the optical red light comes on. It will not pair if you wake it up!!! Only switching it off and back on again let me press the pairing button. Once paired, it stays paired. With the blue light going, I set the TP to scan for devices.
When you say it won't pair when you wake it up, does it say it's the wrong password?
I have the Logitech keyboard and mouse for Android tablets, and they WILL NOT play nice together. If I use the mouse, I can't use the keyboard as neither will stay connected, knocking the other out of the connection. I am using rooted, but stock HC 3.2.1 ROM, and this is VERY annoying as I wanted to use it as a laptop replacement and using touchscreen with keyboard is a pain.
When using both, if I move mouse while typing, the keys will stuck and you get words like thiiiiiiiiiiiiiis.
I am able to simultaneously use a Dell Axim bluetooth keyboard and a Dell branded bluetooth mouse with my Stock Honeycomb HTC Flyer. Works like a charm.

I also have the Motorola keyboard + mouse set, and I can report that I can't use the mouse at all. It pairs but never connects.
However, I did try to pair with another mouse and I got the same result as you. Separately, each device worked properly. Together, the mouse knocked the keyboard constantly. I ended up giving up on the mouse, the keyboard is more important
I did send a message to HTC about this problem, and they said the Flyer is probably not compatible with certain devices or certain combos of devices. Standard BS response.

I have this problem, and I have had it before. I am trying to have a desktop replacement via my tablet connecting to desktop as needed. I really need to use a mouse and keyboard, preferably without cumbersom cables. I have an original xoom, this happened on the old ROM and now the JB rom I loaded. If I try to use my bluetooth mouse almost every word eeeeeeeeeeeendsssssssss upppppppppp liiiiiiiiiiiikkee tttttthhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiis. And forget trying to use backspace to correct any mistake, as the backspace key sticks and usually deletes EVERYTHING you typed before you can backup over the 5-10 extra letter repeats you used.
I am surprised this isn't addressed somewhere, I have had this so many times on this and my other tablets. I have even tried various bluetooth keyboard and mice. Even worse, the new microsoft sculpt mouse detects as a keyboard and a mouse, and the "use physical keyboard" button doesn't work (if you click off, it just stays on and shows on, no matter what I do. So if I even attempt to use this new mouse, I can't even get the on-screen keyboard to work.
Right now I have to either use the mouse (and turn the mouse off to type on screen), or turn the mouse off and keyboard on while I type something up. I'm almost in tears as I am partially disabled, and all my attempts to ease myself back into using a computer, I run into new issues.
In short, I can't buy anything new, I really need to use this Xoom for now. I can't use a USB device well, it is too cumbersom, I can't dock it and use the USB, I need to stick with bluetooth. I have a Microsoft Mobile Bluetooth keyboard 6000 and a Microsoft Sculpt Keyboard.
I have tried an app called keyboard helper pro, but it doesn't work at all.
I can use a different ROM, but I would really prefer a newer one as the extra keys and mouse features seem to pass through (such as using the right mouse button, instead of having to hold the left button down, when connected to my desktop.)
Any pointers? I heard something about the bluetooth stack being changed. I haven't found out what/why/how the windows key and right mouse button work (they didn't in older android versions).

You posted in the forum section for the HTC Flyer. Find the forum section for the Xoom, and you might get better help.
I purchased the Logitech M557 Bluetooth mouse to use with my np, but when I attempt to pair, it connects to mouse momentarily, allowing use of the cursor on pairing screen, but then disconnects and states "couldn't pair". Anyone have success or trouble pairing this mouse?

Just got my nexus player today.
I have the same issue with the M557. I can get it to pair, it's usable for a few moments, and then disconnects before completing connection.

I have the logitech thin bluetooth mouse, T630. I was having the same issue, but what I would do is press the home button on the remote the moment it says connecting while pairing. when its connecting, you can see its working, before eventually failing. if you press the home button and give it a couple of minutes, you should find when you go back into settings that the mouse is now paired. its worked every time for me with my ultrathin mouse.
good luck give it a shot and hopefully it works for your mice too!

Saw that in another thread. Definitely worked for this model of mouse.
Back toggle on the scroll works as back, windows button works as a home button. Scrolling seems to work perfectly in everything except the launcher.
Yeah i think the default launcher doesnt have much in terms of mouse compatibility. ive tried several different mice, and none want to click with the launcher.
