Wink Bluetooth Mouse?

Can I use a Bluetooth mouse for my EEE Pad Transformer?

If so, any suggestions as to which one to get?

Thanks!!

Oh and one other question.. with the dock can you use a wireless mouse (i.e. plugin the dongle into the dock usb port)?

Yes you can. I've been using my Microsoft mini notebook mouse which is just straight bluetooth (doesn't even come with a dongle) - worked absolutely fine right off the bat.

My only issue is that the moment is a bit slow for my liking, and there's no setting to change the cursor movement speed.

If you want a cheap option and have a Fry's nearby I've found that this Inland bluetooth travel mouse works great with the Asus Transformer. The catch being that it didn't work a bit prior to the 3.1 OTA upgrade but after that it's been working great. It's a nice portable size and pretty adequate for as much as I use it.

Good luck,

Has anyone managed to get a bluetooth mouse to work just with the pad,i.e no dock involved at all? I ask as I have a very fancy ms bluetooth mouse but my TF wont see it as it hasn't got the drivers which are added to my laptop which , obviously, are designed for windows and not android..not sure how to get around this issue short of buying the dock and just plugging into the usb with a cheapo corded mouse which kinda defeats the object of what I'd like to do
HTC Sensation<HTC HD2<Nokia N95 8GB<all sorts of rubbish
ASUS EEE Pad..rooted but still stock

I'm using the least expensive one I could find, a Gigabyte I got from Newegg. Turns out it's nicer than any other bluetooth I've tried. I got it to use with the pad and it pairs and works fine with or without the dock connected.

There are no drivers for android for any mouse, so as far as I know there's no way to map the buttons. There is however a setup section for the mouse where you can adjust the cursor speed.

edited to add: doh! - I just noticed how old this thread is. I had done a search and this was near the top. I guess I forgot where I was.
