Hey all, new to tabs. Just got one for school. I got a logitech keyboard Bluetooth which is great. I also got a logitech Bluetooth mouse meant for Android tabs. I hate the thing, it constantly disconnects. If it didn't disconnect so often, I'd be okay with it.
Are there any good mouse alternatives? I do like have a mouse as an option (mostly for splash top and Web browsing)

Any wireless mouse with a USB dongle will work in the Samsung to USB adapter.
I use an Inland brand bluetooth mouse, it is laptop sized, and has worked well. They are also cheap, but decent quality. Even the scroll works. Takes 2 AAA batteries.

Thanks for the opinions. I got the Samsung usb adapter to use with an old wireless usb mouse I have. I'll try it tomorrow and report back good or bad

No doubt, recycling an old mouse works fine. I have the usb adapter but I don't care for the size of it, it sticks out too far. The inland mouse works well, and doesn't need an adapter. When using a mouse, the tablet is usually stationary, so it's not a big deal.

I just tried a Microsoft bluetooth keyboard and mouse (older models) and the mouse wont pair, the keyboard pairs and connects but wont type anything even when its set to use it for input.
Please share as much detail as possible on the compatible makes and models.
I have a dell bt keyboard and mouse bundle and they pair and function properly.

back button
What about the back button on the mouse? Is it working too? Thanks
so which one is the cheapeast combo that works? i think this is a better solution for me since i hate any trackpad on a dock or keyboard. the dell combo is not being sold anymore and logitech is just too expensive.

I didn't try the back button on mine. I will try when I'm at home. However, the right-click button acts as an android back button (same with the right click on the keyboard dock).
I have used the Logitech MX5500 keyboard and mouse combo, also used the microsoft 5000 bt mouse.

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 have been using the Note 717 as my home computer. I downloaded Liquid smooth 4.1.2 and now the HDMI to Micro USB adapter doesn't recognize the monitor? Please help....I would also like other ideas for hooking the phone to a monitor. The cables constantly cause issues with connection. thanks you
I have used several different galaxy phones for TV out of monitor out. The galaxy s was sweeet had TV out 3.5 to rca. Since then I had a nexus and just bought the note. In my experience its best to put the phone somewhere it won't be touched and buy a Bluetooth mouse keyboard combo. They have some sweet ones from rii on eBay for around 50. If you can't resist touching the phone instead make a dock or a seat for the phone that holds it in place and connect the cables in the bottom

The most common issue people have is not supplying sufficient power to the adapter. You need to provide external power to the adapter itself. With the box type, there's generally a microusb port on the side for your phone's wall charger. Additionally, some people report the order of connection matters. Try different permutations of connecting adapter power, hdmi to TV, and the phone connection. Finally, some Samsung MHL adapters use a slightly different microusb connector. I'm not sure that even fits in other phones.
Some newer TV's have HDMI ports designated MHL that work with regular microusb to hdmi cables, no external power supply needed, because the port provides 500ma. Check the back of your TV, you might get lucky. It is usually the last HDMI port and will be labeled MHL.

I have an atrix dock from Motorola. Been using it for a raspberry pi project but since it runs HDMI and keyboard through two separate connections I think it'd be a great match for the tablet!
Anyone tried it? I'll be ordering an HDMI adapter next week to try it myself.

I tried using my micro USB extension cable and not surprisingly it charged the tablet but didn't hand over any keyboard or trackpad input. Any suggested usb OTG cables out there? I have never bought one before but I basically need one that is male and female micro usb.
I plan to make some kind of addon case to the dock so that the loose cables sit snug and wont unplug. It would also be awesome if there was some way to make it dual screen or "extended desktop" so that the tablet could be functional instead of just docked.
PLEASE let me know of any tips or suggestions as i'm flying blind in the world of OTG cables!
Thanks
Because I'm picking up a charge when I use a simple microusb I'm unsure which of these two I should get

Hmmm never thought about thus and I have one. So your not getting any response to keyboard or pad or did you fix that already.

Idk but I just want to be able to control the shield with the trackpad+ *POSSIBLE USB ON THE GO (OTG) FIX*
Power off your shield, plug in USB OTG cable with a flash drive in it. Power on the shield. Once booted, pull flash drive and use whatever OTG compatible device you wish (mouse, keyboard, micro missile launcher--thanks ThinkGeek!))
ONE CONDITION! This method BREAKS CHARGING UNTIL NEXT REBOOT! (thanks nvidia!)

It would be extremely cool if you could make a tutorial video omsure lots of people would benefit
I'll tinker more this weekend and put together a full write up but in summary I got the screen and keyboard running but it will not charge through otg at the same time. Just using a standard otg with an adapter on the regular USB end to make it a micro and another adapter on my micro HDMI cable to fit the mini HDMI on the tablet.

Hey @etruj,
I have shield tablet and atrix lapdock as well. for your OTG workaround, i have one suggestion.
From the picture you post, it looks like you are still on KitKat. I had the same issue in the beginning; hdmi works perfect but usb only charges the tablet.
After Nvidia released the Lolipop, the OTG issue has been solved automatically. It was just plug and play, and after 5.0, i didnt have any problems using my tablet with full compatibility (keyboard, touch pad and hdmi)
Maybe asking for too much: only missing thing is two finger scroll on the touch pad LOL
--
Long story short, updating to Lollipop will just make it work without any workaround!

Search this (accessories) forum for "otg cable" or something, there are confirmed working cables and as you found out not all OTG cables will work. Make sure you get an OTG that is confirmed to allow charging as well since this also does.t work with all OTG cables.
