Going backwards???

[kellys_eye]

Here we go - and, yes, I know it sounds daft but.....

I want to use a MOUSE with my tablet (Android).

Is it possible to get (a) a bluetooth mouse that will connect and (b) an app that puts a mouse pointer on the screen and gives typical mouse functionality?

I realise I'd not get the full tablet experience - two-fingered stretch etc - but I still find mouse operating better than the tablet fingering (giggidy).

Yeah I can use my PC and/or laptop but I love the screen size/resolution of the tablet!

I did say it was a daft idea though.....

Right idea - wrong price Blimey - the tablet didn't cost that much!

your get a el-cheapo Bluetooth mouse off ebay for £6 quid

there are plenty of vids and guides on how to set it up on youtube

I use my keysonic keyboard with mine from time to time what has a small stick in the top corner, I know with the Samsung tabs (we have 3 here) you can use a adapter that gives you a usb port, the lower end tablets use mini/micro usb so you maybe able to use a normal mouse with a adapter

What tablet do you have ??

I don't think it will work very well. There won't be any way of changing the pointer speed or acceleration, buttons might not work...

Unless you have a Windows Pro tablet, like a Surface Pro, in which case all would be fine.

There are a few apps to do this, android has native support for a pointing device as its only a ported linux/unix based distro
