How to get bluetooth mouse and kb working

eel316 · #1 (**permalink**) 12-01-2008, 09:23 PM

Anyone try using a bluetooth mouse and keyboard on the touch pro? I'm using stock bell rom with rocketfish bluetooth mouse and kb and was able to connect them and the service for both these devices say hid input device but when i type or use the mouse nothing happens. Do the windows mobile hid drivers not work? I gave up on getting the built in drivers to work and installed teksoft blue input. This seems to work but it is buggy as it seems to freeze my every once in a while. I would definitly prefer using the wm built in drivers if I can get it working.

I can't figure this out either. It really ticks me off that I've always had so many problems with Bluetooth and ANY PPC device. I've got a Bluetooth keyboard, works with my Mac, works with my PC, no problems. But PPC? Forget it.

Teksoft Blue Input does seem to work, but I haven't used it long enough to experience the bugs you've seen.

Well, I gotta tell you. This is pretty god blessed amazing. I just disconnected my Dell BT keyboard from my laptop and paired it with my TP and I'm now typing this on my keyboard. Holy hell, why didn't I think of this before? Good stuff.

So, for me, I just paired it and had immediate success. I don't have a BT mouse so I cannot give any advice.... HA! CTRL-ESC brings up the Start Menu. Awesome!

No go here yet with thinkoutside kb, I found out that the drivers I had for it were in spanish!!!!

I do not know why since I never needed them with the Mogul. I gave them a shot and messed the TP up. I needed couple soft resets and safe mode one to get back....if anyone has a solution please share....

This thread has a driver download that worked for me with the Vogue w/ WinMo 6.1

Hope it helps!

I got a neat laset bt mouse for Christmas.

Since I'm mostly using my ppc, I tried to use it with the mouse. By default didn't work, but using BlueInput 1.5.RC-4 works flawlessly

lucky me.
