I've used a number of combinations. The HP TouchPad Bluetooth keyboard works well, and then you can just get a small wireless USB mouse in combination.
My personal favorite that I've switched to is Logitech's K400 keyboard/mouse pad. Cannot recommend this enough, it works great. Scrolling with two fingers on the touch pad works, home key, volume buttons all work as well.

Hi all,
Am thinking of getting a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, or maybe a combo..
A couple of questions...
a) Will this work, ie, a bluetooth keyboard on this device?
b) Can I bluetooth two (or more) separate devices? A separate bluetooth keyboard and mouse? Or will I have to get a combo keyboard and mouse?
Finally, any recomendations?
Thanks!
Both Logitech MX5000 and MX5500 combos work, but you have to connect the mouse and keybord separately.
Logitech Cordless MediaBoard Pro
Logitech Cordless MediaBoard Pro works perfectly as does the touchpad.
Pairs up, works great.
The upper "media" buttons don't work but they won't work for my laptop either.

Is there any app to use my wifi logitech mouse and keyboard on the phone? I know you can do that with a bluetooth keyboard but is it possible with a wifi one?
There used to be a mouse-cursor mod for android 1.5, but I haven't seen anything about it ever since.
There is however a Wifi keyboard thing available, here.

Can you tell me the brand and model of your Logitech mouse and keyboard?
I don't remember seeing Logitech ever making a keyboard or mouse that runs via 802.11b/g/a/n WiFi.
I do know they have wireless and bluetooth keyboards and mouse.
WiFi does not have HID, Bluetooth does.

Hello,
Just want to share my experience using mouse with TF101
I bought Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000TG4BA0/ref=pe_175190_21431760_cs_sce_dp_1
EEE connected to it right a way,
Left Button - Selection
Right Button - Back Button
Scroll - On Page as Scroll, On Desktop - Scrolls Desktops
Also there is a button for your thumb responding as Menu
Let me know if you have questions.
The other day I was working on my desktop with my TF101 and my Logitech wireless keyboard/mouse combo was lying around. Just for curiosity, I connected the usb receiver to the TF and test the mouse. It seem to work perfect! I don't remember if I tried the keyboard but probably it works too.
Lol i thought of a completely different thing with a mause
Mouse/KB works very well. My naga's extra 12 buttons even works as the numpad on a keyboard (just like it does on a PC).
And with the latest splashtop update rightclicking is so much more pleasant when remote controlling a PC
Controlling android with a mouse feels a bit awkward though. You can tell it really isnt designed for it. But its awesome for remote pc sessions.
Hi guys,
I've just buy a Genius navigator 905BT mouse but i can't make it work on my TF300T.
The mouse is paired, connected and made as an input device but i haven't any cursor.
The mouse works fine on my GS2 or PC.
On the tablet all is OK with an USB wireless mouse.
I tried with deactivated wifi but it's the same.
Any ideas for me ?
Thanks.
hi there,
is there any chances that you've disabled the mouse function from the keyboard dock? there's a button with a touchpad icon on the uppermost row of the keyboard.. i believe when it's off, not just the embedded touchpad, but the whole mouse functionality is disabled.
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.
