I recently bought a bluetooth keyboard with a joystick for mouse movement online. Does CM7 support mouse input or is that only supported when ice cream sandwich is released?
it is supported. i just paired mine to see in both webos and cm7. cm7 gives you a nice little pointer and works really well. i know it got native input support in a honeycomb update but it appears it was added to cm7 as well. do not connect it in webos though, it treats it like a keyboard and when you move around it spews out so many characters.
Cool. Thanks for the info. Can't wait to try it out! Does it work on flash content too? (Like hovering on something causes an animation)

just tried it out. no rollovers at all work. flash or otherwise. i think that it is just emulating touch and showing where a finger hit would be rather than a real mouse action. maybe the native mouse input in honeycomb and beyond works with rollover.
Oh that is somewhat disappointing, but anyway thanks for the help. Still should be useful for plenty of apps, thanks!
Maybe that's a browser thing. Try other browsers to see if mouse over works.

I am using XRONified VB2.2, which I believe is based on CM7 3.5. I am using a usb Y-cable with a 5V battery pack to provide power.
When I plug in a usb mouse, the tablet freezes and must be restarted by holding both the power and home buttons down. However, I can plug in a usb mass storage device and use it just fine.
For those that have a mouse working, have you tried using a usb mouse and what version of CM7 are you using?
I think it supports Cat....
But i am also interested in buying one...if anyone can confirm which one works well with TP...both on CM& and Webos

It seems to work with CM7 alpha 2, given videos on youtube.
Anyone using CM7 3.0 willing to test if inserting a USB mouse causes the touchpad to freeze, or can anyone using CM7 3.5 without the XRON mods confirm this?
I am using a battery back which is very tiny and I hope to sew it into my case and directly tie the 5V line into my OTG cable instead of using a bulky y-cable. Having a usb keyboard/mouse support on such a compact setup would be very cool.
Battery pack is the T-mobile pack sold on amazon, I cannot link since I am a newb.
I'll take pictures when I decide how I'm going to hack apart my case/battery pack in case anyone is interested. The battery pack has a usb port on it, with all 4 pins. It might be worth taking the time to directly solder a micro usb cable to this port internally, creating a black box with cable that plugs into the touchpad and a usb port to connect devices.
A bluetooth mouse will work just fine on the touchpad (not the ones with the dongle). Android has always supported mouse input (at least since 2.0).

Thanks for the reply. It would be worth it to get a Bluetooth setup then.
I tried a USB keyboard and it worked great. I tried 3 usb mice, all of which froze the tablet. Its odd as I would think the support would be build into the kernel. It might be a bug with 3.5? Can anyone confirm that a USB mouse works or not?
Here is a video link of a mouse in action on Cyanogenmod TouchPad.
Just incase you wanted to see!!
EDIT: Cannot post links!!
YouTube Title is :
Connect Bluetooth Mouse to Cyanogenmod Android on the HP Touchpad
Just got a Motorola BT mouse and it works great on my HP TP with CM7!
I defiantly recommend using a mouse.
I just need to figure out how to zoom in Maxthon for tablets with a gesture. Everything else works, even swiping.
Well, I've concluded the Touchpad currently works with USB keyboards but only with bluetooth mice. Connecting a USB mouse causes the tablet to freeze and requires a hard shutdown, at least with CM7 3.5.

Cool, thanks. So maybe it is a bug in alpha 3.5, the video is alpha 2. If anyone else could confirm it, I'd be happy. Just plug a mouse into your touchpad if you have an USB OTG and Y-cable.

Got a quick question for those of you with the HD dock. Are you running dual USB devices for you mouse and keyboard, do wireless usb devices work for the dock sans drivers, or has anyone found a way to pair dual devices to have a bluetooth mouse and keyboard functional?
My dilemma is where I am planning on putting my dock, it's going to be really difficult to use wired devices because the dock is going to be located physically behind me. I need to find a way to go as wireless as possible so but at the store we were only able to pair up one bluetooth device at a time. Has anyone found a work around for that?

I've tried a couple of wireless keyboard/mouse combos plugged into the dock and neither worked. I'm currently using a powered usb hub plugged into the dock with a Logitec keyboard and mouse plugged into the hub. Works great.

Damn... That's what I was afraid of. My issue is I'm placing the dock on my nightstand located next to my bed for charging purposes. What's throwing me off is in one of the videos demoing the dock it shows them using both a wireless keyboard and mouse. It's gotta be possible, but I have no clue how. At the store we couldn't pair up two seperate bluetooth devices at the same time.
May have found a solution to my problem. At a local Compusa I found a bluetooth keyboard and trackpad in one. I'll take it to work and test it out... If it works, I'll report back.
My Logitech Wireless Desktop (USB Unifying receiver) worked fine, out of the box - keyboard and mouse.
There shouldnt be any reason that your generic wireless device/receiver combos dont work since they're simply a transmitter/receiver pair, your problem is likely with the lack of adequate power supplied by the dock. Theres no way that power supply puts out enough to power the phone as well as the USB ports so thats probably why the powered USB hub mentioned above solves everything.
so i have the multimedia dock, and unlike most other phones the atrix has USB host support, hence why we can plug in stuff like usb drives with fat32 partitions. However i've tried connecting a walmart xbox controller via usb to the multimedia dock since I need a USB port to plug into and nothing. No response, ie no buttons work no nothing.
I've also plugged in random keyboard like dell, and they work fine, hell even wireless mice over usb work fine, and provide a cursor on the home screen.
I'm mostly starting this topic because with the new Onlive system they have their own controler and I don't see what i'm missing.
Do I really need to buy a ps2 controller and connect via BT and do i need special software and can i use it like a mouse?

you can plug a ps3 controller in with the usb cable and use this app from the market.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller&hl=en
or you can also use a wii controller.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mercury.inputmethod.wpad&feature=related_apps
Both are Bluetooth compatable. And there's an app that connects them to the atrix

What if you have a wireless xbox 360 controller, the wireless base, and a micro usb to usb a female cord to plug it all in. I get no detection. Any fix?
thanks
There is no USB driver for the Xbox 360 controller in the Atrix. In order to support it, someone needs to develop a USB driver for the Android platform for the Xbox 360 controller.
an xbox 360 wireless receiver could be connected to any device. we just need drivers. if linux drivers exist they "could" be ported.

How do they work on android tablets. There are quite a lot of videos of android tabs connecting with the xbox 360 sensor.

The Atrix needs power incoming through the USB port to enable host-mode (at least, in the stock roms; I've heard it said that this might not be necessary in android 3.0 and newer, but I have no idea.)
What this means is that nothing you plug in will work unless going through one of the docks or via an externally powered USB hub that also sends voltage back upstream. If you want to test this, try plugging in a flash drive.
(EDIT: This is directed to 1chris89, not OP, sorry.)

I've seen u have to bridge and solder the pins on the hub to get it to work? I have a 4 port usb 1.1 hub I could test it on. Otherwise is a ps3 blue tooth controller the most ideal way to use a controller on our phones?
thanks
Well, there is actually a really cheaply made hub on Dealextreme.com that does this by accident, which is what I used before I got my laptop dock.
Here's the thread on it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=997187
I use both the Wiimote and a PS3 controller on mine; it just depends on which games I'm playing.
The Wiimote is easier to set up (and there are a few free apps that work just fine) while the Sixaxis Controller app is paid, and requires configuring the controller on your computer first (manually setting your phone's bluetooth address to the controller).
SOLUTION
I have a true solution to this problem. An Ice Cream Sandwich should do the trick; the tablets you guys have seen using xbox 360 controllers are honeycomb, an os with baked in game controller support since I believe 3.1
We have a solution though in the form of convergence. 4.00 being both honeycomb and an evolution of 2.3. Try this again with a wireless controller adaptor plugged in and running CM9!!! Should have native support...

i flashed to cm9, plugged it into my laptop dock and plugged in my 360 wireless receiver and its a no-go. the receiver just keeps blinking like it did on cm7. lets hear some other suggestions, im ready to try anything
solution
The only solution to this is HD multimedia dock + Xbox controller in usb + xpad.ko in system libs ( we need one compiled for kernel being used) . if anyone can attempt compiling of this module for android 4.2.1 many people shall appreciate it. SGS3 already have this module compiled so it is possible to port over
OnLive recently came to Android and a number of games require a controller. I tested OnLive and it ran fine, I just need a controller.
Is there any way to use a USB/etc controller on a NT? Or like the Sixaxis or 360 controller.
Without bluetooth (which the nook tablet doesn't offer) using a wireless controller is gonna be difficult.
Maybe a wired one might work but I'm not sure if you're gonna find one that will connect to the nook tablet.
Gotta say though, I've tried some of the on live games that work without the controller and they play really well. If there IS a way to add a controller- this could really step up tablet gaming quite a bit.
How about a keyboard? Is it possible to hook up a keyboard to the NT?

Yes, technically. You need a custom rom installed though with bluetooth activated. But even then the range is very small. But ive never needed to use a keyboard from far away with my nook. Also, some work better than others. Hope this helps.
I really want to plug a keyboard to NT after I installed Quake 1,2,3. It's so smooth but I can never play it!! Like standing in front of a game shop
I thought ROM edits were locked on the NT? Or something was still locked.
But you can enable Bluetooth on the NT? I hadn't heard about that.

While there appears to be a Bluetooth capable chip in the NT, it has yet to be determined whether or not we will be able to enable it -- with or without custom kernals.
There's no way to plug something into the USB port?

A standard micro usb cord from my samsung captivate fits it as a data cable, not a full charger granted but should charge it when turned off, the 12 pin is to charge it while in use so it would work if the nook can host usb

I've got my TP running CM9 alpha 2. I've always considered getting a keyboard for the TP to take notes in class.
Just saw one of these mini keywords at work:
http://m.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4522373&CatId=142
I know its USB but would it be possible to use a USB to micro USB adapter and get the necessary drivers loaded onto the pad to use it?
Idk of any Bluetooth keyboards as small as the one I linked but if there are, are there any that will work with the TP?
Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks
You would need a powered USB hub to get it to work. I have the bt kb from HP and its awesome. I think it's cheaper too.
Check this out.
I just ran through that myself with great success.

Sounds like we've got different priorities. The HP bt kb is pretty small, butb big enough to type on. It's the same size as my 15" laptop kb, so I can still touch type. Smaller than that, and it gets difficult to bang out anything more than a sentence or 2 IMO. Mine would easily fit in a backpack. It's only about a quarter inch thick, except where the batteries go...there it's almost an inch. And the LxW is about 14X4.5 or 5 maybe. I don't have a measuring tape or ruler here.
Gotcha.
Ya im just looking for something down and dirty so to speak haha. Idk if I want to pay $40 for the one i listed, so ill keep my eyes open and keep the HP one in mind as well

Sweet, great video and love that you put links with Amazon Prime eligible stuff which I just ordered. Does the Touchpad charge with this method if there is enough current on the 5v line?
I have a Logitech USB gaming controller, I'll have to see if CM9 recognizes it (I believe its HID) and see if I can map its keys in an emulator. Also I imagine one could buy or make a portable USB power supply so this thing is mobile. When near and outlet the OEM HP charger would supply plenty of current (2A) for multiple USB devices. Its regulated so it will put out 5v even at low loads. Keyboards and mice are rated at only 100mA. I don't see why you couldn't hook both a keyboard and mouse into an unpowered USB hub if you are using the HP charger as your main source of USB power for the OTG adapter.

Unfortunately, it does NOT charge off of this. I really wish it did.
Got my two cables in the mail today.
It works great with keyboards and mice, unfortunately it doesn't recognize my Logitech USB gaming controller. I tried a powered USB hub instead of the Y cable and all it did was charge the TP using the USB hub's power and no USB devices worked.
I then tried using a non-powered HUB connected on the Y cable using the HP charger as a power supply. It allowed me to use a keyboard and mouse simultaneously. So if you want to use more than 1 device get a non powered USB hub. Just make sure your power supply has enough current for all the USB devices. USB keyboards and mice only draw 0.1A so the 2A HP charger is plenty.
Why is nobody selling a unit with all of this built in? A little box with a rechargeable battery built in, an output for OTG microUSB and a few input USB ports.
Hi guys, I'm probably getting this tablet soon, so I'd really love to know if someone has managed to get a common wired USB mouse to work with it, and if so how it actually performs (responsiveness, lag etc). I have a Logitech G5 gaming mouse, and I think it would be pretty neat to be able to use it at its fullest with this device, for browsing and whatnot, and maybe also for gaming, like for playing FPS games like Modern Combat 3, together with the keyboard dock. I'm not sure about this becase it has pretty high dpi, but if it actually worked at say at least 1500 dpi it would be really awesome. Any experience with this kind of usage? Please let me know
Well, a wireless mouse with a USB dongle works fine with it, so I assume a wired mouse would work as well.

Could you tell me which wireless mouse with USB dongle works with this tablet? I have an old micro innovations wireless keyboard and mouse. This doesn't work when I plugin using the Asus USB dongle. It works fine with the PC.

My Anywhere Mouse MX works fine with it, but what do you mean by "Asus USB dongle"? Your mouse will only work with its own dongle plugged into the USB socket on the tablet's dock.
Just plugged in my Logitech VX Nano mouse last night into my keyboard dock. Worked like a charm. LogMeIn even recognized the right-click as a right-click instead of Back or Menu.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I don't have the dock. I am plugging in my wireless mouse/keyboard dongle into the tablet directly using ASUS USB converter not the dock. If I plugin a wired mouse into the USB adapter it works. But not the wireless one. I was wondering if any wireless one work because the tablet would need the driver like in windows PC.
Hey guys can someone confirm if this will work in FPS games like modern combat?
- TF300T Dock + usb mouse
or
- wireless keyboard and mouse
If this is working how do you map keys?
