[TIP] Some cordless mouse and keyboards(BT) work on Prime with USB from dock....... - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

I've been trying some mouse and keyboard devices that i have on my prime via the USB on the dock. This because i want to hook up the prime to my flatscreen with the HDMI out, and use a cordless mouse or a keyboard as remote. I was surprised to see that they are working well. So i thought why not share the info. My Prime is on stock rom. And no i'm not an employee of Logitech
Logitech wireless mouse M325, works with the USB unifying nano receiver
Logitech MX Air Rechargeable Cordless Air Mouse, works with the (not so nano) USB receiver
Logitech diNovo Miniā„¢ keyboard, works on bluetooth connection not with USB receiver

Oh Wow! This is great! Someone finally tried it! The rest of us were afraid our Primes would EXPLODE if we put anything in the USB slot! AND you got stuff to connect to the bluetooth!?!? BAZINGA! This is amazing!
No seriously.... Where you been bro? This is nothing new. Please read the stickies before you post. I don't mean to flame, but when stuff like this is posted in a forum that has been going for so long by people that really don't read before they post, someones gotta say something... Dang.

I just use my bluetooth Logitech ps3 keyboard It has a touchpad built in which makes it perfect for a media pc.

The Logitech AnywhereMX mouse with its nano receiver works great as well

Been trying to get my apple wireless mouse to work with tf201.it can pair up but nothing appears on the screen. I'm on the most recent stock rom 4.1.1.
Anyone here has any tips?

[Q] Has anyone tested the G-Tab with a Bluetooth Mouse?

Just wondering.
I'm wondering how and why you could or would use a mouse on a touchscreen device without a pointer...
I have a BT mouse I got from Woot! awhile back, and it doesn't work. It will see it, but expects a code to pair with it. I've tried the usual combos and none worked, but on Windows 7 or MacOS they pair with it without any codes.

Some of the versions do have a mouse pointer once you have the mouse connected. I think Zpad does. Have heard TnT does not.

I only have one BT mouse to test, and it's never worked on any mod I've used. So I don't have the metrics to know if TnT would work with any BT mouse.
Well I just tried to plug in a usb mouse in TnT-Lite 2.1.1 an no cursor appeared. I am personally fine with the touch interface but it is a shame it was not detected right away.
Usb or Bluetooth Mouse support and Bluetooth Tethering are the last things that I want to get out of the gTablet... then I will be as pleased with the device as I can possibly be.
Gamestring + gtab + wireless mouse and keyboard = portable bliss
Last night I tested usb keyboard (HP OEM), usb mouse (Logitech), bt mouse (Logitech) with TnT Lite 2.20.
The keyboard was recognized right away and from a few seconds of testing, seems like all the keys that should work work.
Nothing noticable happens when you plug in a usb mouse. I have feeling TnT just doesn't have the drivers to recognize any mouse.
BT mouse pairs when I use the passkey '0000' and the gTab reports back as paired but not connected. I confirmed with my Logitech user manuel that the passkey if needed is indeed '0000' and trying another code causes the mouse to not connect at all. I haven't found a way to get it connected. I have the same feeling its because there are no mouse drivers in the TnT framework.
If you're looking to get a mouse to work in TnT Lite, I think we will have to ask Mr. Roebeet for some more magic.
Can the mouse services be ripped out of the Zpad ROM and put in the TNTLite ROM?
Running CM 6.1b4 here and I plugged in a Microsoft BT Mouse w/ a USB adapter and the cursor popped up right away and actually worked. I was unable to find it when I scanned for devices w/ the gTab's bluetooth, so you'd be stuck w/ a tiny dongle, but at least it's wireless. Here's a quick vid I made on the droid of it working,

Got mine working like a champ! I have the Logitech Dinovo mini key board. I had to use the dongle that comes with it though . I would get the same paired but not connected msg without the dongle. Put in the dongle and boom, works flawlessly. All I need now is the HDMI kit so I can lay in the bed and use this thing as a mini HTPC when I travel. Thanks guys!

Ya, he he he.... silly josh.
I have to work on Google docs spreadsheets and other things that are hard to deal with without a mouse.
I have a keyboard / mousepad combo plugged in and it works very well. But I was really hoping others had found some nice units that worked well with cases.
Alas, it seems fee have the thrive and there is not much energy around it. Certainly not in these forums.
Am I wrong?

Logitech has one
I bought a Logitech usb keyboard that has a mousepad. I threw out the box, but on the back of the keyboard it says "K400" I use it for word processing on my Thrive and it works well.
sorry to revive this but, is that keyboard wireless? Does the Logitech receiver work with the Thrive/Android OS?
Bluetooth keyboard and mouse combo
Google CE Compass, Bluetooth HID Wireless Keyboard Mouse Control for PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone 4, PDAs
I looked and looked for a keyboard with a built in mouse until I found this to use with my Thrive. Works well and I'm happy with it.
I use the toshiba bluetooth keyboard and a regular old usb mouse and it works wonderfully. I use it mostly for splashtop hd so I can do computery things on the go, and there is a bit of a lag to each but it's streaming over wifi so it's no big.
Why do all of the thrive threads have to be dead

Prime with generic mouse

I can't get my transformer prime to work with a generic ebay wireless mouse. It works fine in windows, shows up in device manager as HID-compliant mouse. But in the transformer prime I get no input. The same happens to a wired GE mouse. But logitech mice work fine, I tried a wired G5 and a wireless mini mouse my friend was using with his laptop before.
Also, with the USB Host Controller app it's detected as SINO WEALTH SINO WEALTH
Btw, this isn't the only time I'm having trouble with the usb. I have a 32gb flash drive that won't mount when plugged in, while my other flash drives work fine. But when I test a friend's drive too, sometimes it won't work. I somehow got the 32gb drive working once when playing around with some usb apps from the market, but after disconnecting I couldn't do it again.
Never had a problem connecting a mouse to my prime dock and using it, used lots of different mice however most of my mice are logitec (like the brand, good CS keeps me coming back)
Its my experience with knockoff ebay perifials that they use firmware that "just barely works" with windows and has very limited compatability. Every mouse i have bought from a store has worked, no problem... Perhaps when you buy your next mouse you can take your prime with you to check compatability
Aside from that not sure what to tell you. The prime has generic USB drivers, you can try finding a driver for your mouse for linux and porting it over but since its a ebay special i dont think thats going to work.
Only other thing i can think of is buy a new mouse and make sure it works before handing over the money
Good luck! Let us know if you find a fix!
I also tried a wired GE mouse. This one. Neither work, but they do get detected from the USB Host App. It's weird that even some flash drives do not work. I'll see what I can do.
I'm using wireless Logitech G700 and it's perfect!
works without issue, scroll wheel, extra buttons, just as on Windows.
The only issue I have with it is that on Windows I was able to remove the "acceleration" of the mouse pointer speed, but on Android there is no such option.

USB (wired) mouse.

Hi guys, I'm probably getting this tablet soon, so I'd really love to know if someone has managed to get a common wired USB mouse to work with it, and if so how it actually performs (responsiveness, lag etc). I have a Logitech G5 gaming mouse, and I think it would be pretty neat to be able to use it at its fullest with this device, for browsing and whatnot, and maybe also for gaming, like for playing FPS games like Modern Combat 3, together with the keyboard dock. I'm not sure about this becase it has pretty high dpi, but if it actually worked at say at least 1500 dpi it would be really awesome. Any experience with this kind of usage? Please let me know
Well, a wireless mouse with a USB dongle works fine with it, so I assume a wired mouse would work as well.
Hi, It works great, no problem with it.

Hi,
Could you tell me which wireless mouse with USB dongle works with this tablet? I have an old micro innovations wireless keyboard and mouse. This doesn't work when I plugin using the Asus USB dongle. It works fine with the PC.
Thanks
My Anywhere Mouse MX works fine with it, but what do you mean by "Asus USB dongle"? Your mouse will only work with its own dongle plugged into the USB socket on the tablet's dock.
Just plugged in my Logitech VX Nano mouse last night into my keyboard dock. Worked like a charm. LogMeIn even recognized the right-click as a right-click instead of Back or Menu.
i've got some lg crapper- works great.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I don't have the dock. I am plugging in my wireless mouse/keyboard dongle into the tablet directly using ASUS USB converter not the dock. If I plugin a wired mouse into the USB adapter it works. But not the wireless one. I was wondering if any wireless one work because the tablet would need the driver like in windows PC.
Hey guys can someone confirm if this will work in FPS games like modern combat?
- TF300T Dock + usb mouse
or
- wireless keyboard and mouse
If this is working how do you map keys?
Thanks!
I've got Logitech G500 and I want to say this: it rocks baby !!!
could anyone play mc3 or mc4 with dock and mouse !?

Wireless Mouse/Keyboard compatibiity

Hi,
Im thinking of getting a wireless mouse/keyboard combo. Specifically the Logitech MK520.
I was wondering if anyone had tried any of the Logitech or other makes of mouse/keyboard combos with their tablet and what the results were?
Thanks
Tryed a MK320 Keyboard/Mouse set, works.
Media buttons work, Mail, Home, Media player buttons work also.
Volume buttons work.
So i guess that the mk520 will work just fine.
Edit:
Tryed Wireless keyboard+integrated touchpad K400 works also!
Tryed wireless keyboard k230 works also!
Thank you for your reply. It is much appreciated.
I have ordered the mk520 and will let you know if it works too
My logitech mk520 wireless mouse and keyboard arrived today. I plugged in the wireless receiver into my prime and it works
Both the keyboard and mouse work perfectly, the keyboard is really nice to type on too.
So if anyone needs a wireless mouse and keyboard combo for their prime I'd recommend it. :thumbup:

I have a Logitech M510 mouse and use it with my Prime but could never get side scrolling to work. Is this an issue with your mouse too if it has it?
My mouse has just the standard up/down scrolling so haven't had this problem, sorry.
