I found this USB wireless 2.4Ghz keyboard to be compatible with the GTAB. No modification required, plug N Play. I posted a video on Youtube showing you the functionality of the keyboard and trackball mouse and how i was able to use it on netflix, Youtube, Yahoo, SNES and N64 Emulator as well as a Tegra Android type game called Gun Bros.

Nice review. What rom are you using? This peripheral is on sale right now. $25+ tax.
I flashed cyanogens rom CM7 stable.
Where did you find this on sale?

Deals2buy . Com has a link to the lenovo website and a coupon code for 50% off.
For me mouse buttons don't work properly: whenever I press a button cursor goes all the way to the left of the screen and nothing else happens I am using CyanogenMod 7 RC1.
Interesting
Looks like an inepensive option
Gosh, I hate mine...have small hands and it's just needlessly aggravating for me to use. Put it right back in the box and stuck it in the closet.

I hope this is not a repeat question as i didn't find a topic yet regarding it. I saw as part of the features of this unit an optical track pad. Anyone got it working? I'm not sure if i'm doing something wrong but i can't find any settings for it. I'm using the wifi 5.0 version. Thanks

Where did you see this?

Look at the features under Display - Multitouch. It says optical trackpad

Thats hilarious...... There is no optical trackpad built into the galaxy player. Not the usa version.
There are apps that allow you to use any touch screen device as a trackpad for your pc, plus they usually have a built in keyboard tonuse also.
but only via wifi and you have to run their app on the pc.
Perfect for htpc but anything else its kind dumb.
Funny to install it on a coworkers computer and mess with his mouse and keyboard but thats about it
Apple devices have had these apps for years and they do work butmreally only htpc pc will benefit.
Can we connect bt mouse to this awesome phone ? I Think its impossible with stock rom but with cm its possible
Thats possible and very simple. All you need is a cable MicroUSB=>USB with 5th extra-pin connected to the ground (its better looks at schemes and datasheets). Amazing but even stock firmware supports USB On-The-Go (wired and wireless) but only with .058. And why only mouses? Wireless keyboards and other stuff also just in case
That's nice, but is usb on-the-go supported in games ? Gta3 and others ?

Yep, keyboards and joystics are very easy and comfortable for some playing
Mouses is good for games like "Where Is My Water?", "Fruit Ninja" etc. and best for internet browsing.
But play GTA3 with mouse arrow at screen is freaking ugly...
How do you mean "But play GTA3 with mouse arrow at screen is freaking ugly..."
I was thinking to control gta 3 like on computer, not with the arrow on the screen, you know what i'm trying to say ?

Absolutelly dude But it's only ARROW mode available. Computer-like mouse control isn't supported
I'm shure they will soon fix that "problem" !
Im afraid there is no way to fix that problem. Im not sure but Android can work with mouses only in arrow mode
First of all sorry for getting this thread back, my question is related and we do not need a new one.
What about BLUETOOTH mouses, keyboards, joysticks ... does Xperia Mini Pro have the HID profile ? I could not find this info.
Wow, thread is so old.
You will need a usb otg cable.
A mouse or a keyboard with EXTERNEL power.
A kernel which support usb otg.
An apk that can make this work on your phone / support those things to work on your phone.

Hi All,
i am trying to find an app that will allow me to remote my PC from my Prime but that will also work with the docking keyboard mouse pad.
what happens till now in apps like logmein and team viewer is that i see my PC courser and my asus courser as well which means i have to touch the screen in order to move my PC courser around
is there any app you know that can work with the asus pad mouse?
Have you tried Unified Remote? You'll need the PC version also.<--- This one is for Media Center PC's and has several kinds of remotes for that, please see my edit below.

EDIT: I competely overlooked what you were trying to do LOL... Was late when I saw your post. X2 like posted below works pretty good, and a buddy of mine uses Remote Desktop Client and says it works very well for him. He has bought the pay version which costs $25 but there is a trial version to try out. He said X2 worked OK but RDC works better for him. There are several out there, you just have to play with them to see which one works best for you. Here is a link to Remote Desktop Client...

X2 does what you want through the standard winsows remote desktop

Erhh, have you tried the application that comes with the Prime in MyCloud?
It's a version of Splashtop, though I must admit I use the newly released Splashtop THD now.

Don't think I have used LogMeIn Ignition with the dock, but believe that left trackpad button along with trackpad is same as touching screen.
Use that to move cursor.
Hi, I've been trying for like five straight days to figure out a method to get the WiiU Pro Controller to work with my HTC One and I've had no luck. The problem is that I need a pin to enter on my phone to pair it when in reality you don't and that's the problem. I can't find a way to bypass not entering a key. I've tried everything and have failed, I'd pay to see someone to get this to work and I think this could be the place. Any help?
Same here. I am looking and will report back if I find something

Anybody have info on this? I have had no luck with the PS3 controller or the Wii U Pro controller and would love a solution.
I don't have any experience with the WiiU Pro controller but Android 4.2 broke Wiimote support. I am running a 4.1 ROM to use a Wiimote for games. Also I used to own an HTC device and Sense wasn't compatible with Wiimotes and I had to switch to CM to use one but that was ages ago.. Food for thought.
Hey there,
I've lately been exploring the true potential of the Wii U Pro Controller. So far I have been able to pair it with PC and utilize it flawlessly with a Steam game (Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition), so I've moved on to see it's capabilities in the android world.
I've done quite a bit of research and can confirm the only way you can possibly utilize this controller up till today is with an app that specifically claims to support it. At the moment the only known ones are any of Robert Broglia's apps. He has managed to incorporate a feature called "Scan for Wiimotes/iCP/JS1" which works like magic with the Wii U Pro Controllers. I have been able to connect 4 controllers to it just by enabling the scan and pressing the "Sync" button on each controller. Unfortunately though this doesn't actually "pair" the controllers per say, it seems like it's only a very temporary connection which disappears once you press Home button or exit the app. This limits you to only SNES/GB and the other few apps he has but hey at least it's a start.
Now moving onto the actual "pairing" side of things - I have recently downloaded a number of bluetooth manager apps and joystick input apps to experiment with, and using a combination of a few, I was able to somehow pair the controller!
[See attached, noobs aren't allowed to post URLs ]
HOWEVER - unfortunately I have tried using it with a few apps (mainly N64 ones) and it seems to be totally unresponsive. Either that or perhaps I'm not using the correct Joystick button mapping apps...
Btw I'm still using 4.1.2, during my research I've noticed a lot of people on 4.2 have been unsuccessful with most of what I've mentioned above...

I love the Wii U Pro controller and I am trying everything to get it to work with my device. Like you said, only the .emu apps work.
The devices that worked were:
Hisense Sero 7 Pro

No, regardless of it being paired, there is not a single way I can use it, all four lights on the controller remain blinking (probably normal till an intended-for-use app instructs it to light only 1 LED), and whatever app I try to use it with, won't register or recognize any keypresses.

I assume your Android OS version is later than 4.1.2?
Supposedly this works, but you may need to attach a bluetooth dongle to your device (yes, even though it already has bluetooth built in):

uh.... i found this app in the app store recently and was curious if this would help anybody... it claims that i works with wii remotes and does work with the ps4 controller~
the reason that i cant comfirm if it works or not is because i dont own a wii u pro controller (yet lol)
i hope this helps! sorry if it doesnt
damn it aparently i cant post links yet..
anywho you can search this in the android market and it should send you to one of his apps

This might help anybody having pairing issues. My nabi 2 has an option for ''bluetooth time out'' before changing it to ''never off'' i couldn't pair my phone. Afterwards it paired effortlessly.
The keyboard cover is fun and all, but this is a problem to me, exists on both the tab s7 and my older tab s6. The keyboard does not act as an external keyboard (bluetooth/usb), rather acting like an input service managed by samsung.
What I meant is: some app can capture external keyboard input and make use of them, with or without elevated permissions(root user). With that being said, some apps can't be used without an external keyboard. What I'm aiming for here, is the possibility to use the keyboard cover for games that do not support keyboard input, using panda mouse pro for example. No matter what people say, I found it a very pleasant experience to play games using keyboard and mouse without touching the display, and I don't even play competitive games at all, not like android has much of those. Not all games support it, and even for games that do, very little effort to actually make it easy to use. Last year I bought a wireless tkl just to carry with me to uni so I can play games sometimes. It does help with typing as the tab s6 keyboard being very mushy. Now the tab s7 keyboard seems to improved, minus the *very weird* layout. I haven't tried to dig any deeper while using the tab s6, but now that I kinda like the new keyboard cover, I tried to see what I can do.
So far no luck, as the keyboard itself doesn't connect to the tablet using usb controller. lsusb returns nothing when I unplugged my dongle with usb devices while still keeping the keyboard connected. Being the nature of (?) a cut down linux distro, I can't find any useful package pre-loaded, nor can I find any repo that develops packages specifically for android in this sense. Magisk does help with some user porting packages like nano or sqlite, and there is busybox, but nothing actually helps.
Can someone tell me how the keyboard actually connects and be realized as an io device by the os itself, or is this just another uncrackable proprietary ****? Maybe once I get how the keyboard is connected, I could somehow redirect it to a virtual usb device.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!
PS: I own a laptop, which is also portable, but since the tablet already fulfills much of my needs (eg having vscode on the go with linux deploy) I have no intention of using the laptop as my daily drive device and avoid myself all these hassles.
The keyboard is just a useless piece of plastic until you give it power. The 3 dots where it connects to the side of the tablet is your power source.
