Possible to connect a usb or bluetooth mouse to pda?

Is there a possible way to connect a mouse to the pda? I hate when I try to play a online game the screen keeps sliding instead of acting as a mouse. Is there a way how I can use a mouse?
hopefully I'll get as much as answers as I do as views.

I'm interested in that too!

There's something called Teksoft USBInput - I just found it yesterday, but haven't tried it yet.
If you can get the right cable adapters put together, I'd imagine that it would work.

Yes, I agree with bdusmc! I too found USBInput not that long ago and have installed the software on my PPC. Recently though, I found the part I was looking for on ebay ($1 and free shipping) and ordered it. I assume it will be arriving soon and I anticipate seeing if it works. I'll let you know if it works, okay? I'm really hoping that it works because well, it would be amazing. Sure you have a slide out keyboard but hey, I have a full sized USB keyboard. WHAT NOW!? lol Ultimate friend pwnge will occur I'm sure. However, if I had the new keyboard from FastFingerKeyboards it would make things more practical then fun....

i think it should be possible and awesome

Sorry for the late response but I've been waiting on the replacement part. You see, it did not connect using the first mini USB to USB Female adapter I purchased nor on the second one I received just today. At this point I can not concluded if it is the adapter or another problem. Anyways, you're welcome to try it and let me know if you can get it to work... Maybe BlueInput would work. The sad thing about that is it uses bluetooth which will decrease the battery life rapidly and bluetooth keyboards are more expensive. Oh well!

[Q] Mini keyboard bluetooth

Has anyone tried a bluetooth keyboard that works elocity a7

I got one that looks like this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0..._m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1R1D7X86D5K9NN4VHN57
Got mine off ebay and it didn't bring the extras (just keyboard and USB charging cable). It works. You have to inter the coade, 0000, in the eLocity and also on they BT Keyboard for it to pair and connect. After that it works.
Honestly, I don't really use mine.

Using this one:
http://ncix.com/products/?sku=57390&vpn=900335&manufacture=VISIONTEK
A few quirks though - have to pair the keyboard each time with the A7 when starting afresh. Also the enter key does not work for internet browser or youtube apps however it does work elsewhere - strange.
Oh and the mouse pointer is not visible.

Thanks for your answers

Compatible Bluetooth Mouse?

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.

Logitech Wireless Touch Keyboard k400 & Smart Dock??

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

As you said, screen was staying on and only could view portrait mode but now when I dock my note 2, screen turns off and displays landscape on my TV. So weird... I don't know but I'm extremely happy with this product!

that's odd... everything is working on my end. Have you tried rebooting the phone? and maybe unplug the K400 dongle and replug it in? If everything fails, there might be something wrong with the K400?

are you running a custom rom? it looks like it tries but the letters don't come up. when i start typing the mouse cursor goes away but nothing. i tried rebooting with dongle on and off, taking my phone on and off but nothing. might go back to stock to try it out, i must be missing something.

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

Download the unifying software from Logitech and 'pair' the device and the adapter (you can't have it paired to 2 adapters at the same time like bluetooth)

Awesome, thanks for the advice. Appreciate it very much! I'll try it.

Seems to work fine for me.
Just adding to the data pile. Seems to work out-of-the-box for most things. Trying to figure out the buttons now, but typing, mouse etc. working well.

i have the OTG Samsung adapter and my k400 works np just like that.

Tab 8.0 Working MHL/USB OTG adapter

Just a quick post to let people know that the following adapter works with the 8" Galaxy Tab 3. As it's only about £10 I thoroughly recommend it.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00E60A0XC/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The Tab 3 I used for testing purposes is a Christmas present for my girlfriend so I only had a brief play with it to make sure that both Tab and adapter were working properly before hiding the former away back in its box As a result I won't be able to test the adapter again until after the 25th! Please note that the Tab is completely stock...
Anyway, here's what works.
MHL to TV using the HDMI output on the adapter:
This works very well. The screen of the tablet remains on so you can manipulate content directly on the tablet's screen while mirroring it to the TV.
MHL to TV with simultaneous USB OTG:
This is very cool and in effect turns the tablet into a mini PC. In this configuration I plugged a mains powered USB hub into the USB port of the adapter, then I plugged an 80GB bus powered hard drive and a dongle for a wireless keyboard/mouse combo into the USB hub. When I plugged the dongle for the wireless keyboard/mouse into the hub, the screen on the tablet turned off. This is actually a great feature and I wish my Note 2 did the same thing to help keep it cool. The Tab automatically senses the keyboard and mouse as well as the hard drive. Attaching the hard drive triggers the file manager to open so you can browse its contents. I tested a couple of SD movies and they played smoothly with no slow down. The keyboard worked almost as expected, the exception being that the 'Home' key on the keyboard didn't work at all for me (it does on my Note 2) which was problematic until I realised that the 'Internet' shortcut key on the keyboard acted as a home key. The other Media shortcut keys worked for me. For those who haven't used a full sized keyboard with their device before, the 'Right Click' button to the right of the space bar acts as the Menu key (essential) and if you hover the mouse over a scrollable list, you can then use the mouse wheel to, um, scroll.
For those who haven't used MHL before, bear in mind that a device has to work harder to mirror the display to the TV. As a result things can get a bit jerky. To this end I quickly ran Epic Citadel benchmark to see what impact this had on the Tab. In the higher quality setting mode the Tab scored 54 fps on its own, and 45 fps when connected to a TV. This is much higher than expected. Web browsing remained fairly fluid when connected to the TV too which is good.
As a final Note, the TV I tested the adapter with only has a 720p panel and not full HD, so your mileage may vary from a performance point of view. If you find the edges of the Tab's screen a cut off on the TV, go into TV's settings and select 'scan only' for the picture format.
Hope this helps.

Good grief, it's huge! (that's what she said )
I'd be worried about damaging the connector on the tablet with all that mass hanging off it, even worse with cables.

I think the picture shows it with an S4 from memory. It's just under 3 inches long and half an inch thick (!). It is a bit awkward with cables attached to it, but when i use it with my Note 2 it's just awesome.

Does this enable charging the Tab while everything is plugged in?

I have T310 model. See many compatible adapters on ebay, sellers confirm compatibility. Just came across this site meetmhl.com. Clicked on "do i have mhl" bottom of page. My devices were recognized. Says "sorry your galaxy tab 3 8.0 does not currently have MHL technology". WTF???!!!
I've ordered a generic or samsung? tab compatible. When connected with the oem charger cable my tab gets power but not charging. "HDMI connected" pops up for a second but no signal to tv. HDMI input is recognized as active and selected in tv.

Confirmed the adapter in the opening topic works as advertised

Video out and OTG cannot be used at the same time because they are on the same connector , they are mutually exclusive. Why would you want to use USB for a bluetooth mouse when you can just use Bluetooth?

i emailed the company and they said me that it is possible!! !i am rooted and i lost ez mirror option, so i was looking to that option because ONLY bluetooth keyboard and mouse are very expensive!! !!!
