USB mouse

[aeroalex]

I had a thought and plugged in a USB mouse! It worked but a cursor doesn't appear so you don't know where your clicking! I had a look around the internet and other have done this with different tablets, and cursors have appeared when they plugged in a mouse!

Just a thought

Did you plug into the USB Host Port ?

[aeroalex]

Yep but there was no cursor

Yea it definitely is an input, of a sort, but it is selecting everything you move the mouse across

Looks like it would work better with arrow keys on the scroll keyboard accessory

I think the issue with the mouse is that the correct drivers arent installed

[Detection]

Yea quite possibly..

Is there ways to install drivers on the android platform ?

Yes there you can install drivers on Android (Everything needs them) Just need to find out what one is needed

[aeroalex]

it would be a Human interface driver

The driver is already there. There is just no pointer because android doesn't really need one...

I've had a couple of tablets that provided a cursor as soon as a USB mouse was plugged in, which is very helpful if you are developing and the touch screen isn't set up properly. I was quite surprised that this didn't happen on the Scroll Essential, but I'm starting to get used to that now
