Default [Q] Bluetooth mouse

We know that the asus transformer has mouse support with the trackpad. I would prefer to have a full mouse when I I set this up to do typing and office type work.

Can any of you who already have the tablet see if it works with a bluetooth mouse?

I will test this when I get home this evening. I meant to test it last night and in the excitement of getting the transformer, I forgot.

Wow didn't even know this was supported so well. Pairing up brings up a mouse pointer until the connection is lost.

LMB obviously simulates touch.
RMB is the back hotkey
MB3 is the menu hotkey (top right icon)
Scroll up-down traverses open menus. LMB to select. Will scroll in the browser and system wide such as in polaris office.
Full movement as expected from desktop OSs.

That is great news. I want to be able to plug my tablet into my hdmi next to my tv to watch videos and sit back on my couch and navigate. That is awesome, thanks for testing it out!

What about zooming in and out? How do you do that if you can't do multi-touch pinch gesture? Perhaps some sort of combination of button press + scroll wheel?

You still get double click to zoom. Other that that you can't be more precise from just the mouse and I don't have a dock or bt keyboard to try.

Only time I see myself using a mouse is when plugged into hdmi and I feel double tap to zoom and reflow is sufficient.

I wish RMB emulated a long press. I feel that is more natural for a right click. Hopefully this can be altered once HC goes open source.

Pairs with Apple bluetooth mouse and links to input device, but nothing happens. Certainly don't get the pointer that could be seen on the screenshot in the earlier thread.

Hi mate,

I'm having trouble pairing my BF mouse with the transformer. I can see it, but when I try to pair them, the transformer asks for pin and basically that's it... nothing after that.
How did you pair yours?

Just entered the default pin 0000. Check the mouse label if it has a specific pin.

FYI mine is a logitech travel mouse
