After seeing diNovo mini in action, it's got me so aroused!
This triggers me to think about bringing WM device to be a more interactive media device, especially, something like Logitech's diNovo mini for HTPC.
I'm just wondering if any developer can come up with an app that connects Kaiser to the PC via bluetooth, and turn it into an input device with the qwerty keyboard and touchscreen as a touchpad D best if this can be integrated with Sideshow! LOL). Silly?
p.s. Hey! I know I'm just daydreaming~but if anyone has the same ideas, interests, and ability to make this happen, summon your strengths!

Actually, I've been looking for a way to do this myself The closest I've got, is using remote desktop connected to the computer through WiFi. It's fun, but unpractial and not quite the solution i was looking for.
So, this possible?
I use "Signal" a program for controlling iTunes via Wifi which works well as i use itunes to stream music to different parts of the house. Its also skinable too!
In the past with my Blue Angel not only did i use that but also used Novii Remote for Stereo, TV, Sky, DVD etc and also as a remote for lights in my house.
Almost like House hold universal remote!
I have found a program called salling clicker that will control almost any media program. It also does mouse control and can send the keyboard input to the computer.
The problem is the mouse control and keyboard input are separate parts of the program so for example if I want to type in the address bar I have to go into mouse mode, move the cursor up to the bar and tap, then go into the message mode and type the address, then back to mouse mode. If it were all tied in together it would be the ultimate program for that. They may make an improvement on it too I haven't checked lately.
BTW, this is a much better deal than just the Denovo Mini because with the phone you have the screen to look at when browsing for files etc.
I found a script somebody did for salling clicker that puts keyboard and mouse together. It's written for the TyTN but works on my TyTNII. I'm also going to look into tweaking it this weekend! Looks like I need to return my Dinovo Mini.

First you have to get the program called 'Salling Clicker' - it installs on your computer that you want to control.
When you have it installed and your PDA setup to connect using wifi or bt you just have to add the custom script onto your computer in the My Documents/My Clicker Scripts folder.
Then add the script using the programs menu on the computer and connect using your phone.
My Asus 1000HA's left click button has really gotten un responsive and it's a pain in the ass. [I turned on the mouspad click but that get's in the way, anyway] and since my g1 is always charging on it I figure why not make a usb mouse app?
My g1 is rooted with multi touch and it would be a very simple UI.
Right click, left click squares. then trackball or multi touch to scroll up or down. Figure that there would have to be software installed on my Notebook though, anyone think they could devolop this?
I know Gmote is similar but the fact it has to be on wifi really isn't very pratical for the g1's battery life.
How about using Gmote while the phones plugged in ? Seriously though, I'm sure it's possible as it's possible to tether, I see no reason it couldn't tether and send data. I doubt such an app currently exists, however.

Lol cause it takes a lot longer for the phone to charge while using wifi
And yea the g1's Sloth multi touch would be great to use for scrolling.
...why not just charge it on the wall after using your computer and turning wifi off

The point of the request is to turn my g1 into a mouse pad.
I don't need a mousepad to my wall.
And I don't use a wall mount charger anymore, I just charge my notebook from the wall and my g1 from my notebook which works out real well.

And the bad part is that this is still the first page. But back to the topic this is an interesting idea.
you can use AndRemote, or PhoneMyPC, both work perfectly. I use PhoneMyPC personally so my G1 acts as a wireless keyboard and mouse.

However, you can try:

BluetoothRemote

Both are keyboard, and mouse/keyboard apps that operate over bluetooth. I don't know how they work with a PS3 tho.
wow, i just tried out phonemypc.
this is exactly what i was looking for.
so awesome
Has anyone found a compatible bluetooth mouse? I can't find a standalone bluetooth mouse that will successfully pair with my DB (I have tried a Targus Model#: AMB04US and a Think Outside BT Mouse).
Furthermore, all posts I can find relating to the subject are for a keyboard with a built-in trackpad but I hate trackpads. I want to use a standalone bluetooth mouse and don't want to have to buy a dock (I am using the Webtop hack that bypasses the need for a dock).
Thanks in advance.
I successfully used my MS Bluetooth Mouse 5000 on the web-top. But here's the thing that might be causing your issue with the other mice: When I went to pair the mouse with the web-top it was waiting for me to enter a pairing code on the phone screen window and since i had that window behind a Firefox window and I didn't realize it the pairing process kept failing.
Logitech has a mouse out meant for android tablets. Maybe give that one a try?

Thanks for the suggestion. I get the pairing code window, but when I enter 0000, 1234, or 4321 (per Motorola Support's suggestion), they all fail. Targus support says it is because there is no PIN required. So if I enter something then delete the pin I entered (just to get the OK button to activate), it still fails.
I'm glad to hear that the MS Bluetooth Mouse 5000 works though. It appears reasonably priced online. Motorola wants me to go buy their mouse for $40+shipping. Seems a bit steep for something that clearly isn't working due to software incompatibility.
XDA Community: Please post other mice that have worked?
I wanted to close out this topic by giving others the following insight:
The MS Bluetooth 5000 mouse works flawlessly with my Droid Bionic both in standalone mode (nothing attached) and in Webtop mode (with the WebtopMod_Hack that enables you to get to webtop without a dock). I purchased it for $18 from a seller on eBay and found other sellers listing it for $20-$25.
Hope this helps future purchasers out.
Same here...
I'd also like to chime in and say the Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse 5000 works just fine.
It really irks me though, because I have an older (ironically) Bluetooth Mouse 8000 which I really liked because it had an integrated laser pointer and presentation controls on the underside of it. I could never get it to pair.
Microsoft must have made some changes in the device firmware stack because now with the 5000, I could get it to pair to my Bionic using the passkey 0000.
No matter what I tried, the 8000 would not pair.

Identical setup (stock, rooted, webtop mod), identical results! In fact the V470 has worked on DX, Xoom, and now the Bionic for me with no issues.
Same problem with microsoft notebook presenter mouse 8000
Same problem. Imposible to sync MS Mouse notebook . (Asus Transformer Prime TF201)

I have the wireless Apple Mighty Mouse that I use with my Mac and that paired up well with the phone.
I'm running the latest CM9 SELFKANG. The cursor works fine. Scrolling with the trackball is great. Clicking is fine. But it lags and locks up horribly on stock. Anyone else notice that?
Mouse Acceleration?
Do you have any mouse acceleration with the mice you have tried? I just tried to plug in a Logitech MX518 to the USB-port and i have terrible mouse acceleration (when you move the mouse slowly the mouse sensitivity is really low, but when you move the mouse fast the sensitivity is much higher).
I need to find a mouse that does not do this (or a program that will correct it).
I found a solution to this maddening issue!!!
Solution is very simple!
1) Download an app called bluetooth pairing in Play Store, its in japanese but all you need to do is click the magnifying glass icon, then click your device and hit the big blue button that comes next..
2) Disable and enable your bluetooth on the phone, the device is already paired
3) Select the device and it works perfectly.
Discovered this fix accidentally..
I use the Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000. Works awesome no need for a third party program the mouse cursor works fine and you can find tune the mouse cursor in the language and input settings of the settings menu. I really like using the scroll wheel and you can even use right click with in ES File Explorer.
I use this same mouse with my laptop.

Anyone tried a Razer Orochi mouse? That is the bluetooth mouse I want to pick up for my laptop since I hate dongles and am adding a bluetooth transmitter internally to the laptop. Would be nice to have a mouse that will work for both my laptop and for my DB with the lapdock. I know that with the lapdock most USB dongle wireless mice will work but I hate dongles and I know one day I'm going to lose the stupid thing and be SOL.
I'm considering purchasing the HD Dock, mainly for the remote as well as the docking features as well. But my question is, is the remote only able to be used when in the dock, or can I use it whenever? Also, is it bluetooth or infrared?
Thanks guys!

You must be docked to use the remote. I believe it's infrared.
Honestly, the remote is a nice bonus, but if it's really your main reason for buying the HD dock you will likely be disappointed. For one thing, it doesn't work with all apps -- the Netflix app, for instance, won't respond to it. It will work with Google Music, some video players, and you can use it to scroll inside a web browser. The volume/mute buttons can be useful. The buttons however can be kind of "sticky" and difficult to keep from over-pressing.
Having said that, I love my HD dock. I hardly use the remote though. I have a wireless mouse and keyboard attached via a USB dongle and I mainly use those to navigate, in both Webtop and Mirroring modes. I think you will find a wireless mouse works much better for most couch-surfing purposes vs. the remote. Logitech now makes a "couch mouse" which works great for me.
It's a special RF remote. It works directly with the dock. It is rather short range too, likely because it uses a button cell battery. On the plus side, the dock enables USB host, allowing for use of flash drives, keyboards and mice.
I got mine for $55 on ebay. Keep in mind that it doesn't come with the hdmi cable(I know), but you can get one from amazon for like $5.
[Edit] It looks like I was wrong. It is IR. Just checked it with my camera app. Most camera sensors detect IR and translate it into white light.

can you hook up a USB screen, mouse and keyboard all to the dock, or does it only have two USB ports? Im going to try hooking it to a computer monitor tha I have.
Hi guys, has anyone tried Logitech Wireless Touch Keyboard k400 with Smart Dock to see if these are compatible?
Yes they are compatiable and works pretty nice, only thing is that it doesn't turn off the display so you'll need a wired mouse/keyboard/w.e to do that (think there is an app that does turn off the screen)
Personally I plug in the k400 usb and a wired mouse and go to town

FWIW! When I first got my smart dock and tried to use my logitech k400. It did'nt work. So I had to re-pair it by plugging in the dongle to one of the usb ports on my computer and going about the whole process to pair it with the keyboard. Once that was done. I unplugged the dongle from the computer then plugged it back in the smart dock, and everything worked. So that may work for you. But if it doesn't, then I would replace the keyboard and or the dock.
Also for anyone wondering how to get the screen to turn off while its plugged into the dock. I use an app called Screen Standby. And if I remember correctly. It should work both unrooted and rooted. I also use Rotation Locker to manually change the screen orientation to landscape. These two combinations have worked great for me whenever I use my dock.

My K400 + Note 2 Smart Dock stopped working nicely together after a week or two with the dock. They worked beautifully together originally, but then I made the mistake of using the K400 with a windows laptop. I'm thinking that somehow, the keyboard still thinks it should be paired with a windows device and isn't connecting well to the phone via the dock somehow. I'm not sure why this is happening or how to fix it.
Sounds like another member (laztpn0i) had the same issue. I can successfully connect the K400 to both windows laptops I own (one on Win7 home premium, the other on XP professional). There is no required / proprietary software to install in order for the keyboard to work. In the device manager, the keyboard just shows up as "HID Keyboard Device" under "Keyboards".
How do I break the link between my windows computers and this K400 so I can use it again with the smart dock for my note 2? Sounds like something you had to do as well, laztpn0i, so any help / advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much,
Phil
