Maybe stupid question, but I searched these forums and couldn't find an answer. Is there any way to send a longpress using the controller?

Not sure what you mean, but holding the O button when something is "blue " does the trick for me.

yes holding the O button down works in most cases but there's no solution for dragging icons, or dragging anything for that matter. The touchpad doesn't have long click. I installed apex launcher and I can't move the shortcuts. I would love some kind of touchpad app I can run on my phone, like I do with my pc. A touchpad server on the ouya and an app as touchpad client on my phone.

A Bluetooth mouse would would work. An app that simulated a Bluetooth mouse would also work. I don't know of any off the top of my head

doesn't otg work? I haven't tried connecting a mouse yet. But a phone touchpad app is more convenient from the bed. With XBMC i can use yatse on my phone and that is perfect. It might work with MirrorOp but then I need to root the Ouya. I don't even know if that is possible yet, haven't read up.

There's a full size USB port that serves as host port (i.e. you can plug in a wireless mouse). The Ouya is rooted. There's another thread that lists the details. I'm working right now to get a more automated one-click root/superuser install/recovery install method going.

I may know how to long press.

In Nova you can double tap and hold the second tap to move icons. This may work in all apps, I can't recall.

I just bought an active usb extension cable and hub rather than investing in bluetooth devices. I'm hoping that may allow using the hub on the couch rather than on the OUYA.
