This is something I always look for in my phones, maybe im one of few . I can say that HID profiles are supported and have tested with a portable bluetooth keyboard which works perfectly- no connection issues dropouts or weird quirks. I also tested out my bluetooth mouse which also paired without a problem, however its use was not ideal (but thats ok). There was no mouse cursor so it was awkward trying to select or click. The mouse was more like and external bluetooth finger if that that makes sense. The mouse like the finger and the table like the screen. I guess functionality of bluetooth mice wasn't really a large concern if at all. But id say good enough especially for the keyboard
Stock 2.3.4
I have been able to use a Bluetooth mouse on ics, and it does show a cursier. Now all I need is a mhl adapter and I'm going to start using this thing as my desktop

I know there are apps to you can download to turn your cell phone into a wireless mouse for your PC, in fact I have one and it works great.
Does anyone know of an app that will do the same thing but be able have a mouse pointer on your Prime using your cell phone as the mouse. I've searched the marked and googled it and get nothing.
If there is not an app like this maybe one of you guru developers here can make one. That would be awesome.
I think this should work with the client and server installed

I'm not rooted yet but this may be the reason I root. Keep the suggestions coming.

Mobile mouse works great, if you're just looking to control the mouse functions. There's also LogMeIn, if you're looking for more functionality (remote desktop type stuff).
These work on a PC, but I'm not sure how well, or if these would work on the TFP.
I have a app that controls my computers mouse pointer from my phone. What I'm looking for is an app like that but to put a mouse pointer on my Prime and be able to control the pointer from my phone. So it would really be an app that creates a mouse pointer on the Prime and is controlled by the phone. This way I could sit back and control my Prime while connected via HDMI on my bigscreen and not have a long HDMI cable or have to get up to mess with the tablet.

That works just fine. I found it while looking to use my phone as a BT keyboard to use cheats in GTA III. Mouse also works.

So will this app put a mouse pointer on the Prime and control said cursor from the phone? I'm not really going to use my phone as a game controller what I really want is a cursor on my Prime to control it like it was in the dock (I don't have a dock) remotely.
That's two apps that need root to work so I may be closer to rooting if one of these will do what I want.
**just want to clarify i don't know or think this is the streaming issue with bluetooth/wifi.. i am just trying to keep 2 devices connected.
not sure if this is a known issue or i just have to sh*tty bluetooth devices that don't work well together
i have a "rocksoul" mouse and keyboard. when i have the keyboard alone it works great.. can navigate with the arrow keys and use alt tab.
when i hook them both up together. either the keyboard is ultra laggy or it just drops connection every 30 seconds.
is this a known issue? or should i try better devices?
also would getting a keyboard with a trackpad be a better option.. so it is one input?
I have the Logitech keyboard and mouse for Android tablets, and they WILL NOT play nice together. If I use the mouse, I can't use the keyboard as neither will stay connected, knocking the other out of the connection. I am using rooted, but stock HC 3.2.1 ROM, and this is VERY annoying as I wanted to use it as a laptop replacement and using touchscreen with keyboard is a pain.
When using both, if I move mouse while typing, the keys will stuck and you get words like thiiiiiiiiiiiiiis.
I am able to simultaneously use a Dell Axim bluetooth keyboard and a Dell branded bluetooth mouse with my Stock Honeycomb HTC Flyer. Works like a charm.

I also have the Motorola keyboard + mouse set, and I can report that I can't use the mouse at all. It pairs but never connects.
However, I did try to pair with another mouse and I got the same result as you. Separately, each device worked properly. Together, the mouse knocked the keyboard constantly. I ended up giving up on the mouse, the keyboard is more important
I did send a message to HTC about this problem, and they said the Flyer is probably not compatible with certain devices or certain combos of devices. Standard BS response.

I have this problem, and I have had it before. I am trying to have a desktop replacement via my tablet connecting to desktop as needed. I really need to use a mouse and keyboard, preferably without cumbersom cables. I have an original xoom, this happened on the old ROM and now the JB rom I loaded. If I try to use my bluetooth mouse almost every word eeeeeeeeeeeendsssssssss upppppppppp liiiiiiiiiiiikkee tttttthhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiis. And forget trying to use backspace to correct any mistake, as the backspace key sticks and usually deletes EVERYTHING you typed before you can backup over the 5-10 extra letter repeats you used.
I am surprised this isn't addressed somewhere, I have had this so many times on this and my other tablets. I have even tried various bluetooth keyboard and mice. Even worse, the new microsoft sculpt mouse detects as a keyboard and a mouse, and the "use physical keyboard" button doesn't work (if you click off, it just stays on and shows on, no matter what I do. So if I even attempt to use this new mouse, I can't even get the on-screen keyboard to work.
Right now I have to either use the mouse (and turn the mouse off to type on screen), or turn the mouse off and keyboard on while I type something up. I'm almost in tears as I am partially disabled, and all my attempts to ease myself back into using a computer, I run into new issues.
In short, I can't buy anything new, I really need to use this Xoom for now. I can't use a USB device well, it is too cumbersom, I can't dock it and use the USB, I need to stick with bluetooth. I have a Microsoft Mobile Bluetooth keyboard 6000 and a Microsoft Sculpt Keyboard.
I have tried an app called keyboard helper pro, but it doesn't work at all.
I can use a different ROM, but I would really prefer a newer one as the extra keys and mouse features seem to pass through (such as using the right mouse button, instead of having to hold the left button down, when connected to my desktop.)
Any pointers? I heard something about the bluetooth stack being changed. I haven't found out what/why/how the windows key and right mouse button work (they didn't in older android versions).

You posted in the forum section for the HTC Flyer. Find the forum section for the Xoom, and you might get better help.
I have an HP BT mouse and the logitech 810 keyboard and I am finding that they are having difficulties when used with this tablet. I get random multi-repeats on the keyboard, and the mouse pointer has a large delay and is 'jumpy' making it hard to use. I did not have this issue on my transformer prime at all and I routinly used multiple BT devices at the same time. Other then using someting like external keyboard helper pro to reduce theeeeeeeee multi key issue, I have not figured out how to adjust BT to be less jumpy. I have turned off the low power settings and stamina mode.
Any thoughts? Hard to use it the way it is.......

I have the same problem with characters, but thought it was due to poor quality of my keyboard. Will test it with another device then.
It also has a built-in trackpad and it works flawless, except scroll speed is a bit high.

Seems that if I reboot, then BT is smooth for a bit, but then gets jerky again after a little while. Also really lags when wifi is active such as when downloading. Is this a HW issue or a BT config issue. Is there any BT config utilities that may work with this tablet?
Update....
It appears to only happen when more than one bt device is attached. the mouse works fine if keyboard is shut off......

ok. I just tested with my computer and double character still happens, so I guess my original suspicion is correct. My keyboard is of poor quality.
is it possible to adjust the BT profiles at all? My mouse will not 'long press' on the buttons, it instead only does a single click no matter how long you hold it, and the middle and left buttons do nothing. On other tablets these were configurable but there isnt any adjustments in the settings menue for BT or the Mouse and Keyboard that I have found other than layout.
Thoughts?
I have a bluetooth keyboard by Anker (£20 on amazon) also a Hp blutooth mouse and they borh work perfectly. Im rrally surprised they work so well actuall, I never used an bluetooth controllers wirh android before. Maybe its your kit. Setting the connect and disconnect profiles is good.
Anyone else having issues trying to connect their Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse at the time same? Seems like I never had the problem before the 4.4.2 update which kinda sucks. Think KitKat might have broken multiple bluetooth at the same time connectivity...
On the ATT 4.4.2 Galaxy Mega.
I'm interested in using a bluetooth mouse on my galaxy mega, but i can't find it on phisical stores... just online!
The bluetooth mouse is great just can't use the keyboard at the same time. Guess I should can get a keyboard that has a built in track pad.
oh, i didn't know i can't use 2 bluetooth devices at the same time... at this point, as you said, a solution could be a keyboard with built-in trackpad. thanks!
Well it's a bit buggy because I can use my Pebble smart watch and mouse fine just having issues with the mouse and keyboard
