Bluetooth Mouse Recommendations? - Nexus 7 Accessories

I'm looking to buy Bluetooth mouse for Nexus 7 with 4 or 5 buttons (left/right click, scroll, back/(forward) button). Any recommendations?

I use the Logitech V470. It's not a bad mouse, but it does seem to lag quite a bit (particularly when you've left it alone for a few seconds, then start using it again)
The thing is, Android (being a very touch-centric operating system) doesn't have very robust mouse support. 99% of Android apps only support the scroll wheel and one mouse button. Considering this, you might honestly be better off using a cheap wireless mouse with USB OTG.

@farmerbb Thanks for reply. I really appreciate it. My OTG cable is on route but I would prefer Bluetooth mouse if I could find one without issues. I watched some videos on YouTube and most of them using Microsoft Notebook Bluetooth Mouse 5000. I'm wandering is there anybody here to use that mouse or some cheap $10 from China?

Yeah, I wish I would have bought the Bluetooth Mouse 5000 instead, from the reviews I've read it seems like it doesn't have the same issues I'm having with the Logitech mouse.
I've used a wireless USB mouse with the Nexus 7 as well, and it's a 100% lag free experience. You do have to deal with that stupid OTG cable though. From my experience the Nexus 7 occasionally won't recognize the mouse after you wake the device from sleep, and you have to unplug and replug the OTG cable to get it to recognize again.
So there's definitely pros and cons to both.

I have a White MS 5000 notebook mouse at home, brand new never opened. I bought it for $55 from Microcenter. Still has the sticker on it. I'd sell it but you can find them online for much cheaper then I'm willing to part with it. I've used a 5000 BT mouse before and it was fun. I also bought a el cheapo BT thumb keyboard off ebay. Worked well.

Galaxy Tab HDMI Dock - $35 Shipped @ Amazon

Hey guys,
Just letting you know, in case you were in the market, that the HDMI dock is $35 shipped from amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-ECR-D...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1297451030&sr=8-1
I picked one up, it works great! 40" of Angry Birds is awesome, lol.
The Samsung keyboard is also on sale from amazon for $65
a keyboard which allows for landscape connection should be available.......
hahahahaha adinis I totally agree with you I was just pointing it out
You will need an A to C hdmi cable too to connect the dock to your screen.
Anyone used this HDMI dock? I bought the regular dock for $20 and refund it right away. It was going to damage my tablet due to poor contact and also the sound jack reduced the volume by over 50% while killing completely the bass.
I hope this new model does not have the same issues.
Edit: I see someone else mentioned the bad design issue.
too bad with Gtab design will make any landscape dock impossible, it would be sweat..
also available on amazon.co.uk for £17.99
I just picked this dock up for $15 from amazon.com (US) love the way it sits on my desk now.. just gotta wait and see if the hdmi out via the dock will get fixed in CM7..
Took both the dock and the keyboard, one for home and the other for work. Now if only the Tab 7 had USB host, I would be done for onr year or more....

Galaxy Tab Desktop Dock
Just picked up a bargain in PC World (Currys) in Sheffield UK,looking through a bargain bin and came across a dock,asked how much and got told £1.97p so I rushed to the till before they changed their minds... Its cost me more (£3.99) to buy the HDMI cable !!! was told the reason was that they didnt do Galaxy Tabs anymore..
Mmmmmmmmm..... chair spinning as I run to PC World
Lol I picked my HDMI dock from Amazon brand new for $16.... you weren't looking hard enough they still have them around 16 to 20 US....
I just bought this one. 15 bucks ain't bad.

Pretty nice. Only gripe I have is that you have to use the usb cable to connect the dock to your compy. I figured it would have came with an extra cable or something, or rather.... I was hoping it would haha
Hey thanks for this!! Really useful!
I have 2 Sprint SPH-100's that I bought used off XDA Marketplace. I can't seem to find any concrete evidence that they would work with HDMI using the supplied Samsung adapter.
Will the SPH-100 work with HDMI out?
One of the tablets is for my son and I thought it would be really slick to get him some emulators and Wiimote setup on this to connect to his TV in his room.
Actually I just found this:
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-ECC1TP0BBEGSTA-Galaxy-Tab-Cable/dp/B004DFADZK/ref=pd_sim_e_2
It is Samsung-Composite cable (he has an older tube TV) and I bet it is lacking an HDMI port. Wonder if this would work because this would be perfect... might be worth taking the chance.
[UPDATE]
HDMI Dock $12 Amazon
[UPDATE 2]
After doing some research it appears the P100 supports both HDMI out and Composite. After reading some reviews I decided to purchase these P1000 composite cables per other Tab owners because it is compatible with the P100 and also offers USB charging at the same time. If this successfully works it'll be great!
On the other hand, I see that the Tab has issues with the WiiMotes but shouldn't have any problem with my SixAxis Controller. The PS3 controller will also offer greater amount of gameplay... so it works out in the end.
Composite (Red, White, Yellow) + USB Charging Amazon
Why I don't want this kind of thing is I don't know whether the screen is or isn't being zipped.
I suspect the quality is not actually full HD
Will the Tab 2 7.0 fit in this thing?
this thread is over a year old lol

iPhone to mini USB converter?

Is there such a thing? I was given an iPhone dock/stereo as a present a while back but no longer use my touch, I still use the dock a lot though via AUX out to laptop/ phone/Nex7 but was wondering if anyone knows of a converter so I can make use of the dock as a place to keep my phone/ Nex 7 to charge (obviously not expecting it to work as a player, just to charge). A device that has a male micro USB one of side with a female iPhone port on the other.
Cheers.

Never seen that type. They make micro usb -> iPhone adapters, but I have never seen the reverse. Somebody out there must make something though. I'd try a google or ebay search.
Hello, if I understand correctly, it is that, but I still can not post the link, did a google search with "dockBossplus"
Yeah that's the sort of thing I'm thinking, I as hoping for more of a one unit device, ie, without an cable so it would more or less sit on the dock as an iDevice would.

Neat little toy

Moga Controller. Its fun and works, its just not worth the $49.99 price tag, due to only about 12 games work for it.

The PS3 controller works like a charm via OTG USB adapter. You can get the adapter cheap on Amazon. I got 2 for less than $5 shipped. I have verified it works for GTA3, Shadow gun, Max Payne and Dead Trigger so far, just plug and play. You have to figure out witch button does what in each game but it works great. Absolutely zero lags or problems. Once the gameklip is made for the Note 2 you can duplicate the Moga's function for less than $20 and the USB adapter can be used to connect a USB keyboad, mouse, memory stick, external hard drive, etc. I've heard but not verified you can hook up multiple devices at the same time and mirror the screen via MHL to HDMI with a powered USB hub and the OTG adapter as well..

other usb gamepad on Note 2 (other than x-box/ps3). Doable?

I was looking around on amazon and found this SNES replica USB gamepad
SNES USB game pad
It's plug n play on windows PC, but will it work on GN2 using OTG cable? If it does I'm thinking to make a custom mount that will hold GN2 on the gamepad like MOGA gamepad (Didn't really want to pay $50 for that thing and still having to use their proprietary app to have the controller working on my gaames).
Will it work without additional apps?
Plus, I'm hoping no lag since I will be using wired connection instead of BT.
Any thought on this set up?
I use a $3 no name generic usb gamepad. It looks like a ps3 controller.
It works fine.
You will need to use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.poke64738.usbjoy to map the controller for most games. Not many have controller support built in.

Moto Gamepad Mod $49.99 at Verizon Online

Just wanted to share with anyone wondering.
Gamepad is on sale online through Verizon, they are currently offering 2 day free delivery. Some highlights below.
Gamepad is very sturdy when in use, no flex or bends on the frame
Joysticks are good to use and feel great when in use
Gamepad has 2 triggers on either side, not much space between them but they are useful
Buttons can be remapped within emulators, doesn't come with native button remap
LED lights for back and shoulder triggers can be turned off or on
Still testing battery life but gamepad does help with its 1035mah battery
Can be charged separately from phone or together using usb c
Has its own headphone jack
Doesn't feel warm after extended use
Some reviews on Verizon online are saying there are issues with games that have gamepad support, I haven't personally had issues since I only play emulators so YMMV

Congratulation.
I have one question: Can it be used as a gamepad with the PC? Connected by USB or with bluetooth with phone attached?

Unfortunately the answer is no. This gamepad only connect to the phone using the Moto mod connector, the gamepad it self has no Bluetooth connectivity. If you buy this it will only be useful on Moto mod supported phones.
