Sure, most any bluetooth keyboard and mouse will work

great so both can work simultaneously? that's good news...
any advice on which keyboard/mouse I should buy?
extra question about the keyboard: does the soft keyboard still appear when entering a text field, or is this supressed?
Cheers

I'm using an A4tech GL-5 wireless keyboard and mouse. It's not bluetooth. It has a tiny USB receiver so you'll need an OTG USB connector.
I use the cheapo OTG USB ($2.00)

Look on the market for null keyboard

NO recommendations. Most work fine. There are lots of available vendors. Logitech makes a good one, but I have a HP that was on clearance and it works great. I bought a generic bluetooth mouse, works fine.

This looks cool... anybody has this one?

Logitech makes a wireless usb combo that has a keyboard and track pad together. Its 29.99 at wal-mart. I love it. You just need a usb otg adapter. I would recommend the samsung branded one for 20.00 and I know alot of people will say the cheap ebay ones work fine for 2.00. I personally however need a good one due to the fact that I am a mobile locksmith and I sometimes have to print invoices on the spot. I do it with a samsung printer and the drivers are built into the phone.

Why wouldn't you just use bluetooth mouse and keyboard which work great instead of messing with USB connectors and such?

Mouse Pointer!!!!

Yeah!!
Windows Mobile 6 has the mouse pointer for USB mice!!!!
Cant even get mine working. MS Intellimouse Explorer for Bluetooth. Doesnt work.
No pointer, no movement either.
I guess its too much for MS to make their own products work together.
I have tried it with a trust usb mouse, plugged it in then reset device, worked smooth, really like the pointer. then I thought I wonder if my logitech wireless works, plugged it in and it works no problems, I am typing, this with the keyboard now. but the wireless mouse is excellent.
dude i used teksoft mouse software... i connected the mnd everything..and even the software started and i can click some things on the pocket pc and even scroll...BUT THE MOUSE POINTER JUST WON'T SHOW UP!!!
With my Logitech v270, it works flawlessly. With my Microsoft BT mouse I get nothing. Anyone wants to buy a Microsoft mouse? ;-)
No Thanks, I have one.
Thanks for driving up the ebay price on the Logitech V270 everybody

I had a problem with a Microsoft mouse also. I called Microsoft and they said their mice aren't compatible with Windows Mobile. LOL
Leave it up to Microcrap to do something this stupid.
I'm currently using an Anycom mouse and it works perfectly. Also looks much sexier than the Microcrap mice and is smaller, etc etc. This mouse works with native WM6 support and also BlueMouse software. I've since uninstalled BlueMouse since I don't need it any longer now that WM6 has native support.

You are asking the wrong question. Most people here support developers so you will make people upset. Go google elsewhere and who knows what you might come up with.
Joystick support?
Does anyone have a bluetooth joystick? I'm curious if it would work with this software, if yes I would buy one.

Mouse and Athena.... useless (except as wow effect) if you aren't using a TV or other external screen, a MUST on external screen!
In this case without a mouse you have to tap on the ATHENA screen when you are looking to the other screen! Really unconfortable
That's the reason I am using an USB mouse connected with the HTC 4 in 1 cable (expansys), (ext out and mouse) . Usb mouse are smaller than BT ones, no batteries to charge, some of them have retractable cable and the Athena power consumption is less

[Q] Use BT mouse with GT 10.1?

Hi,
I recently got my Galaxy Tab. Having around an Apple wireless keyboard and a Magic Mouse, I decided to give them a try with the tab (I know it is a little ironic to use those two together given the legal war that is going on between the two companies ).
The keyboard worked perfectly (it paired and connected at first try).
The mouse also paired and connected at first try, but it just doesn't work. I am not getting a cursor, as it happens on my gf's GT P1000.
Anyone ever tried or made it work with an apple mouse or any other bluetooth mouse? Any ideas or workarounds? Thanks!
Regards,
Marius
Yes,...it works fine
I have a the Kensington Slimblade BT mouse and it works fine. This maybe a bit old technology, since I have it more than a year (using it also on my laptop)
I also have the small Apple BT keyboard - and it also works....sort-of. Sometimes te keys seems to get stuck and since it is created for the Apple envirnment, there are some 'dead keys' and some options missing.
I use my Dell compact BT mouse with no issues. I also use a Logitech diNovo keyboard. The two BT devices almost turn my GTab into a mini desktop.
The Apple Magic Mouse won't work...this is a known issue. It will pair but that's it.
The Apple Bluetooth Keyboard works fine with the 10.1. I've had no problems and like using it.
I've had no problems with Mircosoft's 5000 Bluetooth mouse pairing and operating the Tab. It makes for a great remote control!
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I have a similar issue. I bought a Speedlink Snappy SL-6158 Bluetooth mouse for approx 10 dollar and was thrilled to see it work on my Galaxy S3, so I thought it would work on my Tab2 as well. Wrong thinking. It paires just fine, but it will not show a cursor and does not react on the buttons.
Is there any solution for this problem, or did I just wasted 10 bucks?
I use a cheap bt mouse I got eBay and works fine here too...

Could you tell me what type of mouse this is?
And can anybody tell me if this can be solved by rooting and using a custom rom?

Mouse + keyboard

So i ordered mouse and keyboard BT to use with mine flyer. Specialy with BT5 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445337
Mouse: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=2933#ov
Pairs no problem and works great.
Keyboard: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=271016003248&ssPageName=ADME:L:eek:C:US:3160
will report once recived.
BT + Flyer + mouse is great!
I tried a Microsoft Bluetooth Keyboard, but without a mouse.
Since the operating system was designed for touch navigation, the keyboard is not very helpful for any navigation, but I'd be curious how the combo improves the experience. Please follow up when you get it hooked up.
Will do, ofc. Still w8ing on keyboard. Usually takes up to 4 weeks due to free shiping via Hong Kong post.
Ok so i finally recive the item (long shipment). Pairs good along with mouse and headset so all 3 devices can be used at same time. Atm looks like all base stuff works no problem. However i need to reinstal Back Track linux on mine Flyer since i had some migration in this time; will report how its gona work when i conect flyer to monitor and use mouse and keyboard in linux on Flyer. Will take few days as i am hold up by rl.
I ordered the Motorola Android Keyboard + Mouse and it should arrive in a couple of days. I too am curious how the combo works, I hope everything will be GREAT.
I really want one! Does anyone know of any inexpensive ones avalible in sweden?
Really?

So you mean to say you switch it on...and scan with your tab and see it and pair and connect and it works..(OFC there is no use or mini receiver)...am i right?
Further will all these 2.4 Ghz wireless mouse have BT or its an addon feature? Bcoz i was not able to find(by scanning) my mouse with similar tech like this one http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Optical-Mouse-Switch-Black/dp/B003SWLRLS/
Kindly be detailed. Thanks

Wireless Keyboard and SGT 7 2

Hi there,
i would like to buy wireless keyboard for my Galaxy tab 7 2 and trying to find the best solution/keyboard. I want to use it for my Samsung Smart TV too. I saw many good review for Logitech Wireless Touch Keyboard K400 but finding if there is some other options thank this one.
By the way, is Galaxy tab 7 able to use wireless keyboard with BT or I need to use USB dongle and OTG cable ?
Thank you for you answers

If keyboard is bluetooth then will work with tab 2 without otg but u knw there are bluetooth keyboards that u must put a usb into ur device so that they work wirelessly
That needs otg abt the smart tv idk as I dont have one
I have 3 USB ports on my TV, so there wont be problem with it, i just needed to know if tab 2 supports BT keyboards
Of course
ok, and can somebody recommend me something better than Logitech K400
I tried the k400. I took it back. You need OTG cable to use K400 with our tabs.
I use Rii RT-UMK-100-BT. Its like a mini K400. I like it a lot.

I bought the Play Station 3 Keyboard (Bluetooth) - it works. I bought it for only 10 € (last one in the shop )
Only Problem - No German Layout possible without an app using "External Keyboard Helper" will fix it.
I´m on Galaxy Tab 2.7 CM 10.1.1 ; same problem on a P5110 Stock (no root).
Any ideas how to get it work without an app (German QWERTZ) ?
something in the build.prop?
Changing ro.product.locale.language=en and ro.product.locale.region=US to ro.product.locale.language=de and ro.product.locale.region=DE ?

No it depends on the rom you are using because the languages are in the csc folder and I am BUMPING THIS THREAD
Im using a Bluetooth Keyboard from ANKER.
Perfect layout, quite small, fast connected almost perfect!
ANKER Keyboard
I love it and use it to write a book
OK, it's an old topic, but anyway... Microsoft Wedge BT keyboard works perfectly for me. The only thing I don't like about it is the protruding part at the bottom (where the battery compartment is) -- I would prefer a flat design. But functionally, it's a great keyboard.

Those are NOT bluetooth keyboards -- they use proprietary RF transceivers. If it really is a BT peripheral, you don't need to plug in anything extra, as long as your host is BT-capable.
Cheap option...but
I bought a "aluminum" keyboard for my Tab 2 7. In reality it was plastic with an aluminum color. It fits the tab as a case and is BT. It works fine and I payed all of US $15.
The down side is the keys are very small so no way for my fat fingers to touch type. If I don't look and concentrate I hit 2 keys at a time. But I have been using it for the last 9 months.
Found it on Ebay.

Keyboard with touchpad for tab S4?

Any cases with Incorporated keyboards with touch pads specifically for the S4, or that will fit the S4?
I haven't seen any specifically for the S4, but I saw some universal ones.
If you had the tab S2 Samsung keyboard it works, of course you can't use the case though.
I have an IVSO keyboard case but using my Tab S2 keyboard.
I order this one from amazon, and waiting for it, but it seems to be a good one!
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LRR2GJC/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_kPcJCbSAF0BDT
did you test surface keyboard? did it work? good sensitivtiy of the touchpad?
Did you manage to find any decent ones? I have a Tab S4 arriving today and would really like to get a keyboard case for it, but I don't want one without a touchpad.
Also, all the third party keyboards I have seen are bluetooth - are there none available that connect through pins like the official keyboard case??
I'm looking for a surface-like keyboard + trackpad too!!
