I think you will need a bluetooth mouse. I have a "ThinkPad Bluetooth Laser Mouse" at home. Worked fine, but I just made a quick test and don't use it generally.

Is there a store that they are sold at or is it online? Thanks for the help

Bluetooth pointing devices can be paired with the 7" Tab w/ Froyo, look for YouTube videos for proof.
One guy has a video showing a Logitech BT keyboard w/ integrated touchpad, and it works fine (search for "galaxy tab hdmi", and it should be one of the first vids by a British guy).
Pairing a Bluetooth pointing device (mouse, trackball, whatever) works and when connected, you will indeed get the familiar arrow-style mouse pointer on the screen. Even scrolling will work.
As a side note, a desktop-spec BT keyboard will do more than just type characters; for example, the Escape (ESC) key is like our back button, and the home hey is like our home button... and the cursor direction keys will move around from icon to icon on the screen.
I use an iGo folding BT keyboard, but I've been looking for an ultra-portable BT mouse for my Tab.... any recommendations are welcome.

I'm using a Logitech V470 CORDLESS Laser Bluetooth Mouse and it's working great with my Galaxy Tab.
Additional I'm using a Microsoft BLUETOOTH Mobile Keyboard 6000 (also working very well but German Umlaute (äöü) are a bit complicated because the SGT normaly only supports QWERTY BT-keyboards.)

I like the Mogo PC Card Mouse
Before I flashed Overcome I used a Mogo PC Card Mouse with my Froyo Galaxy Tab. Worked great eventhough I had to buy a USB adapter cord to charge the darn thing. It was compact and easy to pair, fit nicely in my pocket, etc.
After flashing Overcome however, I haven't been able to get the card mouse to pair. Anyone have any suggestions?
Anyway, while awaiting a solution to the pairing issue I dug my "really old" Think Outside Stowaway Travel Mouse out of the drawer, installed new batteries and viola! It paired and works great. It's just not as compact as the PC Card Mouse.
You can search for either "Bluetooth PC Card Mouse" or "Bluetooth Travel Mouse" on any of the electronic sales websites. A bluethooth mouse and keyboard are both indespensible to get full functionality out of your tab.

Xoom/Tab keyboard?

My apologies if this was answered before, but do the Xoom or Galaxy Tab branded bluetooth keyboards work well with the NC? My thinking is that since they're designed to work with android, they'll be much easier to pair and maximize functionality with the NC (dedicated android function keys, adapting to orientation shifts, etc). I have a Microsoft bt keyboard I've tried and it's not convenient for me. Anyone tried either of these two yet?

THIS THREAD would most likely answer your question

Thanks for the referral, and I have checked out that thread a couple of times. Unfortunately, it looks like no one there has tested a xoom or tab keyboard. Anyone able to confirm if that purchase would be worthwhile?

From another post I made:
I still have problems with bluetooth keyboards, runing nightly 126 and 131. I have a Xoom bluetooth with a modified qwerty.kl file to enable most of the android special keys to work. The three annoying issues with Xoom keyboard is that it will stop working while typing long messages, have to hit power button on it to restart; a key will stick kkkkkkkkkk; and not easy to get out of pop-up for accent keys. You do not see these problems? The best feature is that I can leave power adapter plugged in with bluetooth.
When I use my Logitech wireless usb combo keyboard and mouse I only seem to get the pop-up accent box. The negative is even with a y cable it does not seem to charge nook while in host and v-bus mode. The combination arrow and keyboard interface is really slick.
Anybody else notice these flaws with bluetooth and usb keyboards?
Edit: At this point I can not recommend the Xoom keyboard. My Logitech wireless usb combo LX 710 Keyboard and LX 7 Cordless Laser Mouse both work with transmitter plugged into male micro female usb adapter. I prefer the usb combination.
Just found this negative post about Xoom keyboard. Exact same problems that I have.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14150996&postcount=70
Edit 2: Maybe I was too harsh on the Xoom keyboard. I changed the batteries, seems better. When you long press a key is when you get accents. A feature not a flaw. Also after 30 seconds of no typing it sleeps, press key for a second to wake it back up. Another feature.

Bluetooth Mouse with Xoom or other Keyboard
Now that I changed the batteries and researched the long press and battery saver sleep feature for inaction, I have been trying to find a bluetooth mouse that seems to work well with the Xoom keyboard. Any input on this?
If you have a different bluetooth keyboard is there a bluetooth mouse happens to work well with your bluetooth keyboard?

I just tried out my logitech BT laser mouse with my logitech tablet keyboard for ipad with beautiful results. Even had a flash drive connected to my powered hub and could read it at the same time. This host mode option has made my nook a new machine. Now to get the webcam working.....

I was hoping this was true. Over in the usb host thread Moshe posted a picture of his setup. We discussed the mouse being bluetooth but found out that the logitech laser mouse is a wireless usb mouse. Still only one report from TheAmazingDave of quality concurrent use of bluetooth mouse and bluetooth keyboard. I can get them concurrently but when the keyboard kicks into sleep mode it locks up the bluetooth mouse pointer and force a hard reboot.
@ Dal and Verygreen. Do you think since the bluetooth mouse and bluetooth phone work on phone concurrently, that eventually we will be able to make them work on the nook concurrently?
Edit: I have loaded two apps Null Keyboard v2 and BlueInput. Not sure what they changed but I do not have the concurrent problem any more. The BlueInput only finds my Bluetooth mouse but does not connect. It does not find the Bluetooth Keyboard at all. The Null Keyboard v2 is suppose to hide the virtual android keyboard. This response is the first time that I have seen the Keyboard work correctly.
Spoke to soon, Xoom keyboard went to sleep and when I pressed key to wake back up, virtual keyboard showed up also.

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.

Did anybody paired a mouse to the Vivid? Any recommendations?
I already use my old Motorola BT keyboard, does anyone knows if I can pair a mouse and a keyboard in the same time? Don't know if BT allows multiple connections...

Why would you want to use a mouse with a phone? I don't think the phone even has a mouse cursor!

I think it does. I want to use HDMI out on my TV, and use it that way. Also watching YouTube and use the mouse to scroll and select from the couch or bed, more like a remote...

I haven't tried it, but I'm dying to see if the ps3 bluetooth remote works. Bluetooth mice didn't fare so well, tried syncing both the Apple Magic Mouse and a old Kensington bluetooth mouse, both paired but did nothing

by default the mouse wont work... android is not really equiped for it, however there are various app's which claim to be able to do it, and I have never been able to get them to work, I have a Logitech M555b that I use with my laptop.

@davidcampbell

I have a galaxy note with motorola keyboard and mouse. Keyboard is recognize but in QWERTY mode ...
And mouse does not connect althought she is paired..
EDIT : ICS resolved my mouse issue Keyboard is still in QWERTY mode, I'll wait for samsung ICS rom

I just got one too, connected with my smart dock, but the problem that I am having is that in order to type anything, for example this message, the on screen keyboard pops up and I am not able to use the Logitech keyboard to input the letters. I have to actually use the trackpad in order to select each letter individually. I just had to remove my Note2 from the dock to finish this message, it was too tedious. Anyone have a work around? I do not seem to have the problem though when I am entering a URL in the browser address bar.

Connect a wired mouse?

This is a little off topic query. I was used to using bluetooth mouse and keyboard for my phone. One of my friends came over and he used the keyboard with his phone. Ever since then I'm not able to connect the keyboard with my phone. It successfully gets paired but doesn't get connected. Tried another bluetooth keyboard and it's the same story. Mouse is still working good. Can I get this fixed?

It doesn't seem to make a difference if I have a wired mouse plugged in or not. It seems that if the on screen keyboard is up that the physical keyboard of the k400 does not work. I am stock but rooted by the way. Are you saying that you don't have a problem with your k400 inserting text and that your on screen keyboard doesn't come up when connected through the smart dock?

I also have the k400. You need to download an external keyboard app, such as external keyboard helper pro. You can set up simple tasks such as the ability to switch automatically to the external keyboard when docked, and the ability to reprogram specific button presses to android specific tasks. I also use screen standby which basically turns off your screen backlight when docked. As soon as you unplug your phone everything goes back to normal.
What I dont like about the dock are small things like removing onscreen controls while watching videos or using youtube. Anyone have a fix for this?

I agree with you on this. I don't know of an actual fix yet, to where the controls come up on screen. However I think the left and right arrow keys work as fast forward and rewind on videos where the fast forward and rewind hot keys don't.
