Hi, I was just wondering if you could pair any bluetooth mouse and keyboard with this device or only the samsung branded ones? I was thinking about getting one of these to replace a laptop, the hardest thing I would want to do would be semi-complex 1-3 page word documents which would probably require a mouse for adjusting tables and the like. Thanks
I'm using a Logitech K380 bluetooth keyboard with my Tab S2 T715Y, works well. There's a bit of lag if you're using the keyboard through Swiftkey, so I always switch to the default Samsung keyboard app whenever I use the K380.
Yeah i just paired my dads apple magic keyboard and mouse with my phone, probably wont get a tab s2 though because theres no desktop tyle apps for android

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:

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

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.
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.

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

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'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.
