We know that the asus transformer has mouse support with the trackpad. I would prefer to have a full mouse when I I set this up to do typing and office type work.
Can any of you who already have the tablet see if it works with a bluetooth mouse?
I will test this when I get home this evening. I meant to test it last night and in the excitement of getting the transformer, I forgot.

Wow didn't even know this was supported so well. Pairing up brings up a mouse pointer until the connection is lost.
LMB obviously simulates touch.
RMB is the back hotkey
MB3 is the menu hotkey (top right icon)
Scroll up-down traverses open menus. LMB to select. Will scroll in the browser and system wide such as in polaris office.
Full movement as expected from desktop OSs.

That is great news. I want to be able to plug my tablet into my hdmi next to my tv to watch videos and sit back on my couch and navigate. That is awesome, thanks for testing it out!
What about zooming in and out? How do you do that if you can't do multi-touch pinch gesture? Perhaps some sort of combination of button press + scroll wheel?

You still get double click to zoom. Other that that you can't be more precise from just the mouse and I don't have a dock or bt keyboard to try.
Only time I see myself using a mouse is when plugged into hdmi and I feel double tap to zoom and reflow is sufficient.
I wish RMB emulated a long press. I feel that is more natural for a right click. Hopefully this can be altered once HC goes open source.
Pairs with Apple bluetooth mouse and links to input device, but nothing happens. Certainly don't get the pointer that could be seen on the screenshot in the earlier thread.

Hi mate,
I'm having trouble pairing my BF mouse with the transformer. I can see it, but when I try to pair them, the transformer asks for pin and basically that's it... nothing after that.
How did you pair yours?

Just entered the default pin 0000. Check the mouse label if it has a specific pin.
FYI mine is a logitech travel mouse

Yeay, 0000.
It wasn't on the mouse, but I found it in the online manual.

Not one of my Apple peripherals connect and work (magic mouse, magic trackpad or keyboard). My Logitech M555b mouse works correctly though.
Makes me wonder if Honeycomb is deliberately blocking Apple devices from working.

That is highly unlikely. When you go into system/usr/keylayout on the XOOM they even have a dedicated layout file for the Apple wireless keyboard. They would be stupid to fuel the flaming between iSheep and Androids! However, I wouldn't be surprised if the Apple mouse requires special drivers, especially if it is the magic mouse which is not your conventional HID. Or maybe Asus has a beef with Apple, but not HC.

I haven't done any digging into the system files yet on the Transformer, so I can't comment on that.
I find it strange though that they all pair, connect but then fail to actually interface correctly. The mouse cursor does not appear on screen, even though the settings panel recognises them as a mouse and trackpad, and the keyboard just doesn't function - the only time it works is when you have to type in the pairing PIN.
Strange.. Might well be an Asus -> Apple issue/incompatibility or something with the bluetooth chip. Perhaps we'll see a future software fix or hack.
Has anyone had an issue with paired mouse not reconnecting Mine paired the 1st time but has not connected since then.
Mine..

The first connection, more than 5 minutes will be automatically disconnected. Need to connect again.
I use a Bluetooth 3.0 Mouse...
Is this the reason?
I tried plugging in the USB transmitter of the Microsoft BlueTrack Mini Explorer and it works, but response is slow.

I am having this issue also. My mouse works fine on my laptop. I think it has to do with the TF going to sleep. I only notice it just before or just after my TF goes to sleep.

Mee too, Works fine on laptop but not Tablet.
This is definately an issue with the TF screen ging to sleep. While I would like it to automatically reconnect. A temporary solution when using the mouse with the dock is to set the screen to stay on when charging.
EDIT: I just installed 3.1 last night and from my experieces today it looks like 3.1 automatically reconnects with the bluetooth mouse after a disconnect.
I've posted in other threads about lag i've been experiencing (here, here and here).
As soon as i enable HDMI out the bluetooth keyboard and mouse start lagging and stuttering very badly. This happens with mirror mode (NON-Mod) or Webtop via Nebtop (Root App) or Fenny's mod(replacement APKs). I've run the fastboot on my phone to bring it back to non root stock and i've updated to the 748 VZW OTA update but i still get this issue even just using mirror mode.
Could someone else test this with their RAZR? I'd like to know if it's something defective with my device or with all RAZRs.
The reproduction steps are simple:
1. Pair a bluetooth HID Mouse or Keyboard
2. Connect the input device
3. Connect HDMI
4. Choose output mode (Webtop via hack or Mirror mode with no hacks required)
5. Try to type a text or move the mouse pointer around
I've tried this with different Monitors and televisions and also with different bluetooth mice and keyboards. I haven't found a combination which works smoothly yet. I also posted this issue in the Motorola owners forum. Not too much response there quite yet.
Thanks for the help if anyone can provide it!
I have just ordered my mini HDMI cable. It should be in on weekend so i will keep you posted on my results.
Got my dock station today and will be getting a Bluetooth keyboard in a couple days. I will report back as well.
UPDATE _ Been using the dock station with a Microsoft Bluetooth keyboard and a really cheap USB wireless mouse. The keyboard has no lag at all but the mouse lags a bit depending on what app is running or which dock mode I'm using. I've found that certain games and apps run with less lag in Web top mode and some work better on HDMI mirror mode. I messed with the mouse settings in Web top mode to make it more responsive but it still takes some getting used to. I don't think it's unuseable, but I can see noticeable lag that you have to compensate for.

Same issue on occasion
I have had this happen a few times. I am not sure what is causing it. I will reply back if I have anything further to add.
I don't have a bluetooth mouse or keyboard, but I have noticed a similar delay when playing games via HDMI using a sixaxis or wii controller.
Works fine for me.
Tested with stock UK razr rooted. Nebtop app and apple wireless keyboard and magic mouse. Although mouse behaves weird unless you set up the click rate and sensitivity.
same applies to mirror mode.
I guess its your keyboard/mouse that is causing trouble. Try different set of gear or change batteries.
Hope it helps
That's weird, i tried someone else's logitech bluetooth mouse and got the same issue. It was a mouse only, no keyboard or headphones this time and still had the issues.
I have the same problem. just purchased a dell bluetooth mouse and the apple bluetooth keyboard. they work great in the phone. But once in webtop mode, there is lag. I am using a quality HDMI cable, but use a rocketfish HDMI to DVI converter to the monitor. wondering if that is the issue.?
This is something I always look for in my phones, maybe im one of few . I can say that HID profiles are supported and have tested with a portable bluetooth keyboard which works perfectly- no connection issues dropouts or weird quirks. I also tested out my bluetooth mouse which also paired without a problem, however its use was not ideal (but thats ok). There was no mouse cursor so it was awkward trying to select or click. The mouse was more like and external bluetooth finger if that that makes sense. The mouse like the finger and the table like the screen. I guess functionality of bluetooth mice wasn't really a large concern if at all. But id say good enough especially for the keyboard
Stock 2.3.4
I have been able to use a Bluetooth mouse on ics, and it does show a cursier. Now all I need is a mhl adapter and I'm going to start using this thing as my desktop

**just want to clarify i don't know or think this is the streaming issue with bluetooth/wifi.. i am just trying to keep 2 devices connected.
not sure if this is a known issue or i just have to sh*tty bluetooth devices that don't work well together
i have a "rocksoul" mouse and keyboard. when i have the keyboard alone it works great.. can navigate with the arrow keys and use alt tab.
when i hook them both up together. either the keyboard is ultra laggy or it just drops connection every 30 seconds.
is this a known issue? or should i try better devices?
also would getting a keyboard with a trackpad be a better option.. so it is one input?
I was using my wireless Logitech desktop set but I noticed some lag after not using it for some seconds. When I keep using the mouse or keyboard there is no problem and everything works fine. But when I stop typing or stop mousing for longer than three seconds, the tablet doesn't recognize any input anymore. When I move the mouse or use the keyboard, nothing happens, but after two seconds any input is recognized again.
So I have to keep typing or else I have to wait some seconds to let the tablet recognize any input. This is unworkable.
I tested it with two desktop sets with two different Unifying receivers. When I use a corded mouse or keyboard, everything's fine. It seems to me that there is some sort of logitech standby mode which the tablet can't handle or something.
What can I do abaout this?
Added logcat of connecting usb, a freeze moment, and the disconnection. But I see nothing wrong there...
http://pastebin.com/fisK3hQ0
I bought an other Logitech Wireless mouse (standard receiver, no Unify) and that one works perfectly. So it looks like it has something to do with Unify, not wireless in particular.
Anyone?!
The Shield tablet has the same issue:

It is really annoying. My Shield Tablet is fantastic, except for this issue with the keyboard/mouse. Sad panda.

And no solutions yet. Maybe a different kernel will work, but I like to keep my N9 stock (the first months hehehe)
Any solution?
Has there been any solution to this issue yet? I too am having the same problem.
Work Around
I have a work around that seems to fix this issue. For this to work you will need to be root. Also note that this solution will cause all USB devices to remain on at all times and will not survive a reboot. My experience is mostly with linux and very little with android. I expect someone should be able to modify the following script fairly easily for a more permanent solution.
Open your favorite terminal emulator and type the following four commands pressing enter after each:
su
for i in /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/power/control;
do echo on > $i;
done
This script toggles the power control setting for all usb devices from the auto state to always on. Hope this helps!
I have a slight lag with my logitech controller through USB OTG. It's just a split second lag, but it's there right from when you plug it in. Makes it unusable for gaming. No issues whatsoever with my Logitech bluetooth keyboard however.
