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.
Hi, It works great, no problem with it.

Hi,
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.
Thanks
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.
i've got some lg crapper- works great.

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?
Thanks!
I've got Logitech G500 and I want to say this: it rocks baby !!!
could anyone play mc3 or mc4 with dock and mouse !?

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.
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)
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
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.
Hey guys,
So I know that the keyboard dock has a usb port but the tablet itself doesnt. I'm not planning to get the dock so I was wondering if there is any kind of converter from usb to bluetooth. Like something that will connect my usb mouse or keyboard or game controller to the prime to a hub/converter that connects to my tablet via bluetooth?
Thanks for all the help =)

The sticky has a bunch of links to the product you need. When I tried to copy it all the links died on me. Just head to the sticky.
Yes, but keep in mind that the adaptor is really poor - huge and is sitting in the port very loosely.
Here is video to show that the original Transformer USB adapter works fine here too:
(Navigation for the connectivity demo: bluetooth keyboard and mouse with the browser @ 1:00, USB adapter with wireless USB keyboard and mouse combo @ 2:55, N64oid with high res textures and the Logitech USB Games Controller @ 6:48, Shadowgun THD optimised for Tegra 3 with a PS3 Controller @ 9:07, 1080p MKV playback from a 500GB portable HDD with Dice Player to the HDTV @ 13:11, accomanying blog piece http://www.androidnz.net/2012/01/asus-transformer-prime-video-playback.html):
I've been trying to figure this out for a few days now and everyone who has paired is either rooted or has a dock/USB dongle. I know it's possible to use the controller without having root and apparently it's possible to pair it without using USB but I can't get it to work at all.
I used the Sixaxis Pair Tool on my PC to set the address to my Prime. According to the instructions, as soon as you unplug and hit the PS button, it should be paired...but it didn't. The Prime picked up the controller in the Bluetooth menu but when I tapped it to pair, it asked for a PIN. I tried 0000 and 1234 which both didn't work and can't find any info on how to find the PIN. I also found someone that just said to keep cancelling when it asks and it eventually pairs for some reason but that didn't work either.
I tried pairing the controller to my phone but it doesn't even detect it (I entered the BT address) and the sixaxis app says the phone is not supported. So I put it back to my Prime's BT address and now my Prime won't even detect the controller at all like it was before. I was able to pair my phone and Prime together with no issues and the controller (original Sony brand btw) works fine on the PS3.
So has anyone here gotten a controller to work in this situation? Or do I have to use this as an excuse to buy the dock now?

I'm not sure. I have the dock and my PS3 Controller only appeared in the BT devices section after I Plugged it in to the dock.
However.... I was thinking... the Proprietary charging connector goes to a USB plug. Could you use a female USB adaptor to connect your PS3 controller to to the tablet (without the dock)? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Female-USB-...XX2Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1330594457&sr=8-1

I just got my prime yesterday, and I got my ps3 control work by just plugging it into the usb, pushing the centre button, then in bluetooth settings on the prime, I switched it on, scanned for devices and my ps3 control appeared so I selected it and it said connected. Then I just unplugged the usb and it worked.
I played sonic episode 1 and shadowgun with my ps3 control wirelessly. No root, no extra app downloaded. I'm going to try some more games today just to be sure.

I can tell you that it will not work. The prime has no USB host controller in order to connect peripherals for communication. It only can use the built in port to communicate with other devices that do have a controller. To get a USB host controller you have to use the dock or the adapter.

I've been trying some mouse and keyboard devices that i have on my prime via the USB on the dock. This because i want to hook up the prime to my flatscreen with the HDMI out, and use a cordless mouse or a keyboard as remote. I was surprised to see that they are working well. So i thought why not share the info. My Prime is on stock rom. And no i'm not an employee of Logitech
Logitech wireless mouse M325, works with the USB unifying nano receiver
Logitech MX Air Rechargeable Cordless Air Mouse, works with the (not so nano) USB receiver
Logitech diNovo Mini™ keyboard, works on bluetooth connection not with USB receiver
Oh Wow! This is great! Someone finally tried it! The rest of us were afraid our Primes would EXPLODE if we put anything in the USB slot! AND you got stuff to connect to the bluetooth!?!? BAZINGA! This is amazing!
No seriously.... Where you been bro? This is nothing new. Please read the stickies before you post. I don't mean to flame, but when stuff like this is posted in a forum that has been going for so long by people that really don't read before they post, someones gotta say something... Dang.
