[Q] Bluetooth drivers for Keyboard?? - Galaxy Tab General

Hi all, does anybody know if the tab has bluetooth HID (human interface device) drivers to run extenal keyboards??? Anyone tried, and if yes wich keyboards are working?? I like the upcoming Samsung keyboard, but don't think it is very portable especially if traveling, so I thought I would like to buy one of those folding keyboards, but don't want to through away my money...
Thanks

Just tried a Logitech DiNovo Mini and it works perfectly. You even get a mouse pointer on your Tab, that you can move around with the touchpad.

The driver you get is a combined one for the mouse + keyboard

Bluetooth mouse on touch pro

has anyone tried using a bluetooth mouse on the touch pro? i found this driver on the net which will allow you to use a bluetooth mouse on the PPC.
http://teksoftco.com/index.php?section=blueinput
the driver is available for download as a trial. i wanted to test it out but i do not have a bt mouse. anyone with one please try it and give feedbacks!! i think this is one useful application specially for browsing the net.
I've used this driver on my Mogul and it worked great for everything (including surfing the net). I have not used on the TP yet.

mind if you share what kind of mouse you used? ive been reading through the threads and i have yet to find a mouse that will be perfectly compatible. also, can it work while having a bluetooth keyboard on as well?
My mouse is a Dell Travel Mouse PU705. I could right click, left click, and use the scroll wheel. I can't help you with the KB, I don't have a Bluetooth KB to test it with.

where did you by it?
honestly, why would you need a mouse on a small screen device?
haha, I wouldn't mind a small bluetooth keyboard, but a mouse is pretty useless, don't you think?

Plug the phone into a projector (with the tv out cable) and use the mouse and you have a wonderfull business presentation (powerpoint,etc.) device.

[Q] Bluetooth Mouse and keyboard?

I am int he market for a bluetooth mouse and keyboard that will be compatable with the acer a500 but I don't want to break the bank. Can someone recommend a BT keyboard and mouse? If there are any bundle deals out there that would work with the a500 then I'm all for it.
BT keyboard and mouse
I found that the Logitech keyboard for my ps3 works great with no setup. Even the built in mousepad works great and I think I paid $50 for it last year. It even works on my Mac mini.
Best deal and nice feel since it is right and full size..
Hope that helps.

Thanks for the reply . I ended up getting the logitec tablet keyboard for android and Microsoft bluetooth notebook mouse 5000. They work great together and look good too .
Feels like im on a laptop lol.

Have you tried a Bluetooth Mouse? You should!

Just for curiosity I connected my bluetooth mouse to my Tab (P6810)... and not expecting much, a little blue pointer popped up in the screen, that was amazing, I didn't really expected that! It's extremely useful when you are using text editors, word processors...etc.
It's not perfect anyway, the wheel doesn't work, but you can click (hold) and move up and down in a document for example, you can double click words to select them, you can click (hold) and move the mouse to change to your left/right home screen, it's fast and very responsive!
Another thing that doesn't work is the right click which is ok because there's not such a thing on android anyway....
I don't think everybody knows about this, try it and share your thoughts!
I'm using a Logitech BT mouse V470 which is the best I've ever seen out there.

I'm currently using a Kensington SlimBlade Trackball Mouse, which works pretty well for me. The trackball includes both vertical and horizontal scrolling. Does the V470 do horizontal scrolling as well? What's the difference between the V470 and the Logitech Tablet Mouse?
I have a Kensington slim blade mouse with its own dongle. I plugged the dongle into the usb OTG connection but it isn't working - do you have the type without dongle?

Correct. Mine is Bluetooth, so no dongle.
My logitech USB mouse with the dongle works just fine with my tab, using the USB connector to the tab. It worked on my S2, so I would have guessed it would work on my 7.7.

EDITED:
Sorry, I just got home and yes, the V420 does have horizontal scrolling... I never really used that option, only the vertical...
Anyway, they don't work in my Tab
Logitech tablet mouse? Wow.. I'm going to check that online....

The Logitech I have is an older MX mouse
http://www.logitech.com/en-ca/mice-pointers/mice/devices/5846
got it ages ago for my laptop so 3 years ago.
Samsung should disable USB support for mice just on principle. Bluetooth or GTFO. Having a wired mouse to the 7.7 just looks so...uncivilized.
Okay, my bluetooth mouse with dongle does work! I think my mouse was in pointer mode on my earlier attempt.

Ok, The Logitech Tablet Mouse looks exactly like mine V420 BUT according to customers reviews on Amazon the horizontal/vertical scrolling DOES work on this one....
I'm probably getting one for my tab and keep the V420 for my laptop....

Wait a second... You have a Bluetooth mouse, and your 7.7 has Bluetooth built-in, and you're using an external dongle instead... WTF!? Why!?

WTF with attitude? This particular mouse only works with its proprietary dongle.

Well, because then you have to have a big ugly dongle and USB adapter sticking out of the tab when you could just use the native Bluetooth support instead. It's...displeasing to the eye.
Anyway, the occasions where I bother at all with a mouse for any phone/tablet I use my trusty Microsoft 5000.

Attitude is just a part of who I am. I am not ashamed of that. Some people might not like it, others don't mind. Frankly, I don't really care either way. Having said that, I generally do my best to tell things as they are and offer my most accurate, honest, and unfiltered opinions, expertise, and reviews. Take that for what it's worth.
Moving along, and speaking of telling it like it is, if your mouse requires a proprietary dongle just for it to work at all, then it's not likely to be Bluetooth (just wireless). See, one of the most important points of Bluetooth, being that is is an open standard and not proprietary, is that anyone can use it. Thus, this eliminates the need for the ugly, cancerous, protrusions known as "dongles."
So, either your mouse isn't in fact Bluetooth (in which case, what are you doing posting in a thread specifically about Bluetooth mice?), -or- your mouse is Bluetooth (in which case, I would like reference my previous statement when I say WTF!? WHY!? Why would you totally defeat the purpose of Bluetooth by using a redundant, ugly, external adapter as opposed to the internal and integrated one already in the 7.7?)
Logitech dinovo mini works fine, I can even wake up the tab from sleep! Thanks for the idea!

I'm using a Microsoft BT Notebook Mouse 5000, and it works just fine as well. I just wish ScummVM would have better mouse controls, since that's my main use for a mouse...
Not just mouse
I also have the sam keyboard for this time. its sweet.
i dont travel with laptops anymore, since i just need my email and some MS Office stuff.
i connect the BT mouse, and keyboard when needed and works like a charm!
It looks cool as well, at least in my opinion....

Subscribing to be up-to-date on this.
Another useful info would be posting if these keyboard/mice (specially mice) that work can use its scroll wheels and/or touch capabilities (if any).
I had no problems whatsoever with my hp touchpads bluetooth keyboard paring and using a microsoft mouse and dongle. No setup at all for the mouse when using the usb dongle, the touchpad keyboard was easily paired like any bt device.
Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 - pairs, works no problem, speed and scrolling all fine.
Leicke Sharon Aluminium Keyboard for Samsung Smartphones & Tablets - pairs but doesn't work, connection is constantly lost leading do buffering of the input and autorepeat.

I was able to plug in my Logitech Mx revolution wireless keyboard pc and mouse dongle. It picked it up and works with clockworkmod. so not even a need to buy a Bluetooth keyboard. I have several though.
The Motorola bt keyboard and mouse for tablets works great. Had them for a year or more already.

As cheap as it is this keyboard/mouse combo has worked for me. It's a little bit of a pain to get the mouse to pair correctly but it worked eventually.

I've been using the PS3 KeyPad with no issues. I recommend this Bluetooth keyboard because it sits nicely over the face of the PS3 controller and looks really sleek!

I've Googled around on how to get the PS3 Keypad to work and I haven't been able to find anything except how to connect the PS3 controller. I've tried pairing the Keypad the same as the controller and it did not work. Do you have a link on where it explains how to pair the PS3 Keypad? Your help would be greatly appreciated
Apple magic mouse, keyboard, and trackpad all work for me, simultaneously. has anyone noticed, though, that reception is horrible? especially outside of 5 feet?

How did you manage to get yours to work. Mine connects to my Apple bluetooth keyboard, but nothing happens after that.
