Bluetooth Mouse -what is best?

Can you guys post which mice you have used with successful connections on 3.1? I've read the MS 5000 had issues and I wanna go pick one up but that's all that Best Buy sells. I already have a keyboard so I just need/want a very small bluetooth mouse. Thanks.

Ms 5000 works fine.

+1 on Magic Mouse. One finger scrolling works like a charm. I also have the Magic Trackpad but it doesn't seem to support any gestures.

hmnnn......apple product connected to the Xoom? Would feel so dirty........

MS 5000 works perfectly
I had to keep trying to get it to connect (it paired right away) but when it did connect, it was fine. I really liked using it with the speaker dock and the BT keyboard.

Only problem with the magic mouse is that there is not smooth scrolling option. Since the mouse does not have a slotted wheel it feels very jumpy

picked up the ms 5000 and it works great. I can run a full server desktop without issue and it's the right size to carry around. I already have a mini BT keyboard so now if I need full capability of a laptop I have it (or as near as you can get). Thanks for the suggestions, pairing was easy and it works out of the box.

Microsoft....ARC Mouse....
Does anyone know if the Microsoft ARC touch mouse will work. I know it comes with the USB Nano connector but I love the style and just need it to work with bluetooth.
Thanks

I have the older Apple Bluetooth mouse with the scrolling ball on top. Works really well!

Had this since my netbook and now my xoom. Very small, portable and battery life is excellent.

This may work if you plug the USB receiver into an OTG cable that then is plugged into the xoom. I heard the wireless receiver for the 360 controller works this way.

Logitech is coming out with a Bluetooth mouse designed specifically for Honeycomb:

Keyboard too:

It's nice to see Android getting some attention from Manufacturer's in terms of accessories. I am tired of everything under the sun made for Apple while everyone else gets nothing.

It's really just the old v470 with a higher price tag though. But yes, good to see support coming through.
I would go with the Logitech M555B. Works great, and has a frictionless wheel mode.

WTF? How is this ANY different from any other of the 1000 BT mice out there?! Talk about opportunistic marketing!

The difference with Logitech and their "Tablet Mouse for Android" device (which really appears to be their old V470 bluetooth mouse), is that they are actually saying in the box that it "officially" works with Android and there is "official" Android support from Logitech.
What this means to is that the general layperson can feel safe that their device is fully supported in Honeycomb tablets. Should there be an issue, the customer can probably call Logitech customer service and have official Android support.
The fact that several Bluetooth mice work just fine with the Xoom is known to us who read XDA and android blogs but I am sure that Logitech is not really marketing to XDA people but rather regular people.
I think that, in the grand scheme of things; this is good for the future of Android. Look at what Apple did with their "Works with iPod" program. It is so great that we have a well known company supporting Android. Hopefully this pushes more companies to provide more "official" support for the Android platform.
---------------------
And just to contribute to the list of Bluetooth mice that work with the Xoom on Android 3.1
The Razer Orochi gaming mouse is a great option that works great with the Xoom
This is a beautifully built device and it completely matches the Xoom's aesthetics as well as those of the Motorola Bluetooth Keyboard. It is not cheap by any means but it works great with the Xoom (and with my PC and Mac as well).

I also use the magic mouse and love it! I am also thinking about picking up the BT keyboard from apple too, it seems pretty small and durable.
I like to call it "the best of both worlds"

Hm. Bluetooth Mouses?

Hello,
Well, I have the Logitech Bluetooth Keyboard for Android 3.0+.
And then I was wondering....
They have a Logitech Bluetooth Mouse for Android 3.1+
It's 49.95 and it seems expensive to me.
I was wondering if there are any other Bluetooth mouses that I can use fine with my Gtab10.1 that are not so expensive.
If anyone can give me links to any sites and products that work well for this, please reply.
Thanks!

I wish they made it a little thinner, but I'm glad they are marketing specifically to Android. *warm fuzzy*
So I'm tempted to get the logitech just for the latter fact, but will probably wait for something a little more portable.
I'll report back if I find anything noteworthy.

Yea, same here. And thanks!

Any BT Mouse will work with Galaxy tab running 3.1.
I'm using Logitech V470 and no issues!

Hate using the usb adapter when browsing with a mouse...

I went ahead and ordered the Android Logitech because I'm a nerd.
Unfortunately, I selected free shipping through Amazon and it will be a long 5-10 business days for me.
As I said, I wish it was a tad thinner, but as long as it fits in my Tab bag then I'll be happy.

Doesn't have to be bluetooth
My roommate picked up a wireless mouse that uses a tiny usb receiver for use with his Toshiba Thrive. He plugged it in and the mouse worked without a hitch. For giggles, I tossed my usb adapter on and then inserted the usb receiver, and it worked with my Galaxy Tab right away... Until I find the perfect bluetooth mouse, I might simply pick up a Microsoft Arc mouse or something similar that folds away nice and flat.
Food for thought.

Okay, I got this little fella in the mail last night and it is not as big as it looks from the online pictures. If it was thinner I think it would be very uncomfortable. I'm still playing with it. If I get a chance tonight I'll make a short video and show ya'll what's up with my little blue buddy.

The Android mouse is well made and connected easily, but right-click does not seem to work and highlighting text is buggy or doesn't work at all.
How is the V470 with that?

Bluetooth Android Keyboard

Hi guys,
Do any Note owners use a bluetooth keyboard? (and mouse?)
Instead of buying a PC for my bedroom which I don't really need, I am just gonna connect my Note to my TV using the HDMI cable but it would be nice if I had a decent keyboard and mouse to use when browsing the web. They do not have to be tiny since they will be used at home but does anyone have any recommendations?
Thanks!
Pictures, videos, links welcome.

Honestly man they all work equally well. I have the Motorola BT keyboard and it's very comfortable. It includes the media features like the play/pause/stop/skip/and volume as well as some shortcut buttons for the browser, music, back, and home button. It's nice and easy to use. I also have the logitech mouse and it works nicely. But it's really up to what would be most comfortable to you as they all work pretty much the same.

This one looks good

that states Android 3.0+ is the bluetooth protocol versions the same between GB and HC?
SOLVED: online reviews have this paired to older phones and tablets with FROYO and GB.. so yup its all ok.

Any other recommendations for a bluetooth keyboard & mouse set for the Galaxy Note???
(I am assuming it has to be bluetooth since I will be using the MHL cable to connect to a TV.)

I have the logitech keyboard and it does not work with the stock rooted GB note OOTB. I am waiting for ICS to troubleshoot it if I will even need to. Supposedly it will work with anything above android 3.0. It does come with a very nice multi-function case/stand though, so when it does work with the note I will probably begin carrying it instead of my laptop.

with on/off switch,
3 cursor speeds,
pressing scrollwheel opens menu

I found this one on ebay and would like to try it:
It's 14$, it is big enough for 10 finger writing and it looks very nice. Has anyone maybe tried it?
Wireless Keyboard 6mm Ultra Slim Aluminium Bluetooth 3.5 For PC Macbook Mac iPad
I can't post links, but you can find it in ebay for about $14.
It seems to be made mainly for Apple devices, do you guys think it will work with Android as well?

Bluetooth Mouse and Keyboard

Has anyone tried using both a bluetooth mouse and keboard? I want to use both to take notes in class, read powerpoints, etc. Mostly easy basic stuff like that.
I am thinking of getting the Minisuit keyboard since it seems to balance well inside the slot. I don't want a full case, so this seems like the best option for me right now. unless some can tell me of an option that comes with a stand like this, that is cheaper....
http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Tablet-Keyboard-Windows-Android3-0/dp/B009JPBPWO/ref=dp_ob_title_ce
The mouse part is confusing me. There seem to be a lot of brands I'm not familiar with. And many mice with poor reviews. Does anyone have experience with one that has worked well at a fair price?
Thanks!
EDIT: Or will any basic bluetooth mouse work? I figured it had to be designed to work with android.

I've used the Logitech K810 keyboard successfully, and I've used Microsoft's Wedge mouse successfully, but I couldn't get both of them to work at the same time. I did not troubleshoot, and it's possible there's a way to fix the glitch, I'm just reporting my experience.
I love the Logitech keyboard. Originally I bought it for occasional use and traveling, but it's so good that I use it as my everyday keyboard at my desk. Just as advertised, it pairs smoothly with up to three devices. When I use it at my desk, I use a regular (not Bluetooth) wireless mouse.

My Anker Ultra-Slim keyboard and Microsoft Notebook Mouse 5000 work together just fine on my 2013 N7. Sometimes I first have to unpair and re-pair them to get them to connect but after that they work.

I use Logitech K810 keyboard and T610 mouse. Both are Bluetooth and you can switch when using it with your PC or MacBook.
Works great... But the problem is that the mouse sometimes just last out of the blue. Had to reboot. There is a thread in Google forums that discussed this and this is a known flaw that Google has not fixed.

Recommendations for Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse?

Some game stream games like LoL and Diablo 3 can be played using a keyboard and mouse. This doesnt even account for the productivity bump of having kb/mouse. Ive been looking for an affordable bluetooth kb/mouse but cant seem to find anything im sold on.
Id like something small and portable, rechargeable via USB would be a plus but not required. Id also dont want to break the bank. Hoping to get both for under $75. A keyboard that can be folded or collapsed for portability would be good but not if the trade off is quality or price.
Has anyone been using a bt kb/mouse and if so any recommendations?
Thanks
Edit: Should mention i have the shield tablet

Im also looking into the same thing. As I also Play D3 but Ive tried to find something in my local Best Buy but to no avail. The lighted Logitech keyboard that is meant for a mac or iphone in the apple section worked GREAT but it did cost 75 alone. Only suitable mouse found there was 56.

Check this out on amazon. SHARKK® Backlit Keyboard Wireless
and the Microsoft Sculpt Touch Mouse on amazon also. Comes to 57 free ship.. not bad.. I'm ordering now

The keyboard looks promising. Doesnt look like the mouse is BT though. When you get them let me know how it works. Thanks
EDIT: i may have been looking at the wrong mouse. Explorer touch isnt BT, Sculpt touch does appear to be.

They sure did. Both work great. They keyboard is super thin and really portable. Very lightweight. And the mouse is good and solid on the weight as it takes 2 AA batts. Im happy with both.

I love using my Logitech K810 and Razer Orochi, Both Bluetooth, and work really well with the Shield tablet!

Cool ill take a look into it. Still waiting on the cover to come. Really liking the shield controller. Excited to see how games like Diablo 3 or LoL work with kb/mouse. Any other recommendations would be great. Thanks

I have the Logitech for Androids/Windows BT keyboard and that works well, although I mostly use the Logitech MX5500 that I have for my desktop PC at home and work (and the mouse that comes with it)... I just find that mouse and keyboard so incredibly comfortable to use. Would vouch for most Logitech stuff in this space.
