I ordered a Microsoft BT mouse specifically for smartphones and tablets.

I use both a Logitech Bluetooth mouse (they only have one, I believe). I also have an I/O Magic bluetooth mouse - both work great - I use one at work and one at home. Use them *all* of the time. Bought the I/O Magic at Microcenter (much cheaper than the Logitech)...

Just wondering if you get the decrease in download speeds while using the bluetooth mouse like we get when using bluetooth speakers. Just curious cause if you can stream netflix and use the mouse without any video buffering we might have hope on it being a software issue. Can you try it. Thanks.

Don't have a Netflix account, but I just tested with a bluetooth mouse and my bluetooth music receiver.

If I just have my mouse connected (but not using it), it doesn't slow it down much at all, but if I constantly move the mouse around while the speed test is occurring, it does drop the speed quite a bit. However, the speed drop is nowhere near the lever you are seeing....

I get very little slowdown while playing music to the bluetooth music receiver while running the test.

I think the slowdown while constantly moving the mouse around might be more CPU related since the bluetooth music receiver doesn't slow it down much (still get about 12Mbps download while sending music to the bluetooth music receiver).

I would expect the slowdowns I'm seeing though, especially since bluetooth and wifi use the same 2.4Ghz signal....

I am using this since it travel well. If MS made the bendable arch mouse in BT instead of normal wireless then I would have gotten one of those.

That mouse looks interesting - how do the "optical" navigation work using your finger - does it work with the TF700?

You also mention that it travels well - does it fold flat or something? I'm just wondering what makes it travel better than a normal mouse...

I'm tempted to purchase, but only if the optical finger navigation works with the TF700...

Thanks for the info!

It works as advertised. It is flatter than the average mouse so it fits in a bag well. I wouldnt do graphic design with it but it is precise enough for normal tablet stuff.

I use a MS BT 5000 Notebook bluetooth mouse and the Logitech BT Keyboard with no issues. i do have some drop out on my Motorola S9-HD headphones if I use the mouse while listening, but speed is ok.
