[Q] Any good keyboard / mouse combinations for the Nexus 7? - Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories

I'd like to use it for remote desktop while i'm out. Touchscreen is not so great for remoting into Win 7.

Use a better remote app. I've tried a ton and Jump Desktop is by far my favorite.

That doesn't actually answer my question

MicroUSB to USB adapter and Logitech K400r keyboard/mouse pad.

Winows 8 on your Tablet (Jump Desktop)

Jump Desktop looks very promising for a Windows 8 remote desktop. It will allow for you to essentially use the Metro UI from your desktop as if it were installed on your tablet.
Jump Desktop is not updated for Android just yet, but it is coming soon.
Obviously this it running on iOS but it definitely looks promising.
Very cool. Hope it comes soon.

should be here shortly with all the amazing people here at xda!!
Jump Desktop is working on Android...I'm using it on my Nexus 7 and my Sony VAIO laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium.
Works a treat with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse connected to the Nexus
I'm am also just trying Pocketcloud instead.... Jump Desktop is slightly laggy...but it might be my connection....
Is this better than Splashtop 2?
It need to come ?

I have Jump Desktop and it's not very usable. It refreshes every 5 seconds which is too slow.
I'm a firm believer in Jump Desktop. I use remote desktop often and this is the best I've found. Really designed for tablets in mind.

Jump Desktop 4.0 is currently what is in the app store 5.0 will be the nice update seen in the video.
The 5.0 update adds touch support for Win8. You can essentially use the start menu as if it were Windows RT on the tablet rather than fussing with an annoying mouse cursor on a touch screen.
I haven't seen other remote desktops going that route. It is a new feature for W8 to be able to do this so the others may implement this later as well.
Jump Desktop has just been updated to version 5.0 with full Windows 8 support. I'm using it as we speak.....
going to test this it sounds awesome...

Just bought it and installed. Hands down best rdp app out there! The best thing is that it is not a CPU hog on the PC. Splashtop would max out my old dual core but this program runs at like 40% anyone know why?

You could buy a USB OTG controller. You plug it in to the 30 pin port on your tab and then just plug in whatever USB you want. If you buy a powered USB hub, you could plug in the hub to the tablet and then both devices into the hub. It would have to be a powered usb hub, though. As the note doesn't have the power to run it normally. Without the hub, you could get either a keyboard or a mouse in, depending what you'd like. Although, bluetooth mouses are dirt cheap on places like amazon. Same with bluetooth keyboards made for android. Just go and search about places like ebay and amazon for them. Or, the method I stated first - USB OTG and a powered USB hub. Although, it may be more costly depending on what you find.
I suggest you use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse. It's much comfortable and convenient to use. I use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse for input and OTG for usb and others.

[Request] input transfer over Bluetooth

Is there any app that can be made to transfer all input from one phone to another over Bluetooth? I would like to use an MHL cable on my phone but I can't plug in my xbox controller. So if I were to plug Xbox controller into my Nexus S and use Bluetooth to connect it to the Galaxy Nexus, is there any app to allow me to transfer all input like joysticks, buttons and all

Controlling TV with N7?

Notice the n7 doesn't have a IR blaster. Is there any way to control my tv/directv? Was thinking there may be a ir blaster that plugs in the micro usb at the bottom or maybe some other way. Tried searching google but couldn't find anything, any of you guys controlling your tv with your new toy?

I use the LG TV 2011 app on my GS3 and new N7. The LG 3DTV I have has a bunch of smart apps like Netflix, VUDU etc, plus its a good replacement for the magic wand remote. In fact I prefer using the app over that remote, though I was surprised it uses Wifi vs Bluetooth. I find the BT smoother to operate.
do you have any problems turning on your tv with the lg 2011 remote? i don't get my n7 til the 1st, but my galaxy s3 can't turn the tv on for whatever reason.
You can always buy the Logitech Harmony Ultimate hub ;P
We have a Roku and use the Roku app. Boom

I use the LG 2013 app with my TV and it works great. TV has to be on the same wifi network tho. Also use the Roku app with my Roku and it works great also.

No. There are USB bluetooth adapters you can buy that will work. Search for Joystick Center Gold or something like that...
Sorry to open an old post, but has this been figured out at all yet? I sunk most of my spending into buying a ps4 and need a free way to do this.

I paired my ds4 by holding home and share until the light bar starts blinking, putting into pair mode. Then I just went into bluetooth settings and paired it. I never tested a game but all the controller button and sticks worked navigating android
