Syncing a bluetooth mouse to TF300

**sniffs** · 02-06-2013, 11:34 PM

So I have a very nice fold up Kensington BT keyboard that works really well for the ASUS TF300t.. I'm writing this post from my ASUS And that KB.. however I am thinking of possibly getting a BT mouse.. does anyone know if the mouse will sync and show a cursor? anyone try it?

Should work, although I use a wired mouse.

Wired? how? so when you connect a mouse, a cursor shows up?

I just purchased a windows bluetootooth mouse on advice and I can't get it to work. And as far as I know there is no way to connect a wired mouse - no USB slots!

Yes. It works perfectly, except the scroll wheel is really slow. All I did was attach it to my ASUS, and it worked. Wired USB.

I've even hooked up a gaming controller to my tablet. Take a look:

Your thread is titled: Syncing a Bluetooth Mouse to TF300(T). It is possible, same way as using a Bluetooth keyboard: As long as it's compatible with the Android software, it should work seamlessly. The dock, however, is only $50, and is well worth the price. I have heard of such rumors of an adapter that turns the TF300T's USB port into a standard USB port, although I've never bothered to look into said rumor, for the dock is everything I need and more.

I tried plugging in a usb mouse but it was not recognised. Is there anything i need to do for the mouse to be recognised?

Depends on the brand of it. I just used a GE Mouse and it worked just fine. All I had to do was leave it connected for a minute and then the tablet recognized it as a mouse.

I am also looking for a bluetooth mouse to use with my Asus Transformer . I bought a logitec blutooth mouse but although it was recognised it did not work (the same mouse worked perfectly with my samsung Galaxy S3, so the mouse is compatible with android). I have also bought 2 bluetooth keyboards and all work perfectly with My Tf300.

With regards to usb wired devices, i bought an adapter and all mice and keyboards tried so far work perfectly.

However if anyone managed to connect a blue tooth mouse, having the brand and model would be appreciated.

I recently got a Motorola Bluetooth mouse for $8 from Dailysteals.com. Works like a charm. I think Motorola only makes one model, so just do a web search for "Motorola Bluetooth Mouse."

You really do need a dock to connect to USB. The tablet doesn't have a connection port. I've connected using the same Logitech BT mouse I use on my computer. Works just fine.

100% agree on getting the dock. That's what made that tablet awesome. Even if you don't actually use the keyboard part; it's still an extra giant battery.

On top of acting like a screen protector for the tablet when closed.

This is one amazing tablet.
