Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse - HTC EVO 3D

Greetings everyone,
I have been able to hook up a Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse to my EVO 3D.
The keyboard works great. I have been able to type perfectly in my applications as well as configure the keyboard to work in my emulators.
The mouse I am having an issue with the "right" mouse button not working as the "go back" function in Android. Has anyone else had this issue? According to all the research I have done this is supposed to work.
I have also noticed in the CyanogenMod 6.X ROM videos on Youtube, that the people using a mouse also get a mouse cursor on their screens as well as being able to right click to "go back" and then using their middle mouse button as a "home" function in android. I did a search through 16 pages of posts on this and could not find an answer. Maybe someone reading this who is smarter than I am can shed some light on the issue.
This is what I am currently using.
Mouse: Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000
Keyboard: Logitech MX5500 Keyboard.
If anyone else is using a mouse and is not having issues could you tell me the brand/model please? Maybe it is just an issue with this Microsoft Mouse.

Well it looks like the fancy mouse support with a cursor and button functionality was something that was included in CyanogenMod 6.X then removed on CyanogenMod 7.
They then added a patch for version 7. But now apparently it is being included in his latest CyanogenMod.
Regardless, it appears you need root access
**taps desk until HTC removed encryption from bootloader**

Yeah, but on the bright side, this is the first time I've seen HTC add in HID support for BT keyboards!!!!!!
HUGE gain!

pairing a BT keyboard and mouse (slowness/lag??)

**just want to clarify i don't know or think this is the streaming issue with bluetooth/wifi.. i am just trying to keep 2 devices connected.
not sure if this is a known issue or i just have to sh*tty bluetooth devices that don't work well together
i have a "rocksoul" mouse and keyboard. when i have the keyboard alone it works great.. can navigate with the arrow keys and use alt tab.
when i hook them both up together. either the keyboard is ultra laggy or it just drops connection every 30 seconds.
is this a known issue? or should i try better devices?
also would getting a keyboard with a trackpad be a better option.. so it is one input?

Can't use Bluetooth keyboard and mouse at same time

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.

/dev/uinput Mouse/TouchScreen Controls

I am working on a native library that creates 2 virtual input devices with /dev/uinput. 1 is a keyboard and the other is mouse. I have the keyboard working perfectly, but I am having a hard time with the mouse.
The library is a part of a remote control application I am working on that has a firewall punch through (for devices like android sticks or Google TV's that sit behind a firewall so you don't have to do any port forwarding).
I have the mouse clicking working just fine, but I am struggling setting the mouse pointers position. I can't get the mouse to go to where I want it.
My mouse creation and control code can be found here:
pastebin.com/ifNYF5BC
I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I have read some people saying it's not possible while other similar apps I have seen are doing what I want (in appearance at least).

Bluetooth Mouse and Keyboard

Anyone else having issues trying to connect their Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse at the time same? Seems like I never had the problem before the 4.4.2 update which kinda sucks. Think KitKat might have broken multiple bluetooth at the same time connectivity...
On the ATT 4.4.2 Galaxy Mega.
I'm interested in using a bluetooth mouse on my galaxy mega, but i can't find it on phisical stores... just online!
The bluetooth mouse is great just can't use the keyboard at the same time. Guess I should can get a keyboard that has a built in track pad.
oh, i didn't know i can't use 2 bluetooth devices at the same time... at this point, as you said, a solution could be a keyboard with built-in trackpad. thanks!
Well it's a bit buggy because I can use my Pebble smart watch and mouse fine just having issues with the mouse and keyboard

Mouse wheel on any button

Hello,
I have searched the web but without any solution that I am able to understand.
I have bought an android box from china which comes with a ir-remote.
As I am plannig to use this box as a desktop replacement as soon as i am able to get my new NAS up to speed I want to be able to use this box comfortably, even from my couch.
I use some sites to read comics and most of them work with arrow keys on chrome. Some have limited support for this so I need to be able to use the mouse (or at least a leftklick) and the mousewheel to navigate this sites if they dont support arrow keys.
The box has an ir receiver and bluetooth so I have multiple controll options avaliable.
Now to the remapping of keys:
I have found this:
source(dot)android(dot)com -> Keyboard Device
with this table and the vendorxxx.kl file I should be able to remap buttons.
now the caviat: arrow does not work propperly on every site and page_up/down jumps too far.
is there a way to confiure page_up/down in a way that it doesn't jump as far so i could use multiple clicks to jump as far as i need or is there a way to emulate a mouse wheel scroll with a analoge stick from a bluetooth controller?
I have as I said a ir remote and a generic usb controller and this:
Baofeng Monji 4 Bluetooth Controller (wireless Nunchuck style)
I would prefere the mouse wheel as it hase more use but a substitute would be fine.
I hope someone can help me
