Right now I have a G15 keyboard, which works fine with the normal keys (numbers, shift, letters, esc). However, I am trying to find a wired keyboard (or wireless if it isn't more than 30+ dollars) to use with the Nexus 7. It would work great if it also had a wireless mouse included.
I am not sure if Logitech Unifying devices work. Or if this would work: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823126097
Appreciate all the help.
Have a look for the Motorola Atrix bluetooth keyboard/mouse set, they can be had on UK eBay for around £30, a bit more than you were hoping to spend but nice quality.

Awesome. In preparation for a new series of presentation that I need to run within our company, I discovered that the Logitech Presenter works flawlessly when stuck in the USB port of the HTC 4in1 cable.
When I was still using AP3, my MS Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000 worked perfectly, even via Bluetooth (without the 4-in-1 cable and without the dongle), as long as I also installed Teksoft Bluemouse.
Now I'm using AP4 and this setup no longer works. At least not flawlessly.
The mousecursor lags: after I stop moving the mouse, the cursor keeps moving for about half a second.
This problem only occurs when i connect the mouse directly via bluetooth. When I use the dongle and the 4-in-1 cable, there's no lag at all. A regular wired mouse also works fine.
Disabling TouchFlo or killing Bluemouse doesn't remedy the situation
Any ideas?
UPDATE:
I'm back on AP3, it's just more stable than AP4.
My mouse is working great again.
WM6.0 bluetooth stack is better for me than the WM6.1 one.
why don't you just use a bluetooth mouse? it works the same as the logitech presenter (without the laser pointer) and the coverage is farther.

Coverage may be better, but useless for real presentations. The presenter lets me adjust volume, blank the screen, set a warning to wind up my presentation 5 minutes before the end etc .... for real presenters, a mouse does not suffice
good point. i stand corrected
Not having much luck at locating a bluetooth keyboard and mouse (compact in size) that is proven to work with the HD2. Any help? Thanks.
I know this keyboard works ...

MyMobiler is so cool. While it doesn't replace a blue tooth keyboard and mouse, to be able to control your phone from the PC is mostly there. And it's free
Thanks for the link.
Well, there was one bluetooth mouse (regular small mouse, with scroll wheel and all) that, besides working on a regular PC with standard BT HID profile, came with a software driver for Windows Mobile, and one could use it with any WM device, so I assume it would work with the HD2.
It is the Stowaway BT Mouse, from Think Outside, the same company that made various full-size fold-up BT keyboards (which also work on any WM device).
Unfortunately, Stowaway was bought up by IGo (who mainly makes universal AC adaptors for laptops), and shortly thereafter, they shelved the whole product line. (Pretty dumb to buy up a company, then shelve its products, especially not being a competitor.) (And with the explosion in smartphones, I think that could be a growing niche, especially the keyboards. (Of course, now they would need to expand support for Iphone, Android, Blackberry, etc., as well as WM.)
So, that mouse and its software has been discontinued. However, I would bet that you could still find them on Ebay, Craigslist, etc. Look for Stowaway 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.

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.

My Speedlink Snappy BT mouse does NOT work.
It's discovered and it pairs (although no code is requested), "use as input device" is ticked but then I get no cursor or response to movement/ buttons.
The same mouse works fine with my Dell laptop and a Blackberry Playbook.
ps. anticipating the Q: "why would you want to use a mouse with a phone?",
A: I want to use it for text/code editing where the touchscreen is not sufficiently precise.
come on!
somebody must be using BT input devices since the last update
I'm interested in a compatible Bluetooth travel mouse.

I've had good luck with the Apple mouse and keyboard. The mouse in particular is super nice because of the gestures. The mouse is also super easy to pair but the keyboard can be tricky. They are also stupid expensive for what they are.

Thinkpad compact bluetooth keyboard comments
I can't comment on the Motorola, but just recently purchased the Thinkpad, and I do like it. It appears that the Motorola lays flat only however, while the thinkpad keyboard has feet that push the rear up, providing a slanted surface, which I feel is more comfortable.
Here is what I found from a software support perspective:
Windows 7: Just works right
Ubuntu 13.04: I had to download "Bluetooth Manager" and connect without pairing to get it to work--the stock Bluetooth setup didn't work properly to pair the devices, but after that, it appears to work fine.
Cyanogenmod 9 on Mytouch 4G Slide: Worked fine
Cyanogenmod 10.2 on HTC One: Doesn't connect properly after pairing (I haven't resolved this yet but appears to be a base Android 4.3 issue)
Stock HTC One: Works fine
The keyboard itself is much more comfortable than using my laptop keyboard, and it is comfortable enough that I pushed my full-sized keyboard to the side. I'm prepping to live out of a Hotel for three months while a house is completed, and wanted to save desk space, and this really fits the bill.
In reference to the ThinkPad keyboard, does the TrackPoint work in Android as a mouse?
Thanks,
Dave\Esotic
i love amazon
In case this information helps anyone...
I picked up an Arkon tablet stand and Logitec K810 bluetooth keyboard from Amazon.
The tablet stand is portable and adjustable and great for using on airplanes.
The keyboard has been working really well with remote desktop, but some apps (like QPython) are kinda laggy on accepting from the keyboard.
Cheers,
Dave/Esotic
