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.

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:
http://ncix.com/products/?sku=57390&vpn=900335&manufacture=VISIONTEK
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
Are there any wireless mouses out there that work well with the TMobile Galaxy Tab? I have the samsung dock and love it I just need a mouse to complete it! Help!

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.
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.

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.

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...

Hey Guys,
So im sitting in m office at work bored and i decided to see if i could use my Apple Magic Mouse with my Nexus 7 because i was already using the keyboard. After about 3 seconds i realized i could and its easy. For the Keyboard i had to power it on and hold the button for about 30 seconds and then it popped up in my bluetooth list. For the Mouse, i had tried just turning it on and it didnt show at first but i held down on the left click and then it showed up. you may not have to hold down on the left click but if it doesnt work try that. I can use the magic mouse to scroll between screens and webpages and all that.
Can I use a wireless mouse with an wireless keyboard?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Yeah both at the same time, it makes it a very portable computer. I have my work VPN through vpnC widget and my email through the built in app. Citrix through the reciever app, i can work everywhere i go and the magic mouse makes it really easy to scroll through the screens too. I used a Motorolla bluetooth keyboard built for the Atrix and had home key buttons and all that but every now and then it would put to many letters in the pain or have some weird scrolling issues. But the Apple mouse and Keyboard combo seems to work best. Essentially you could do this with a USB dongle and one of those combo bluetooth sets that have a usb reciever too but i think using the onboard bluetooth works better. You can have many device connected at once as well, i have a Bluetooth headset, keyboard, mouse, and sometime an OBD scanner and my (edit)Nexus Galaxy note running Tablet talk connected all at once.
