Bluetooth Mice

[eomonkeyboi24]

Will the pandora support plug and play bluetooth mice, or will we need drivers?

Bluetooth probably has a HID standard just like USB, so if one BT mouse works, they should all work.

Cool. I've never used BT before so I didn't know if it had the same properties as USB.

 

[lulzfish]

I didn't know that either, I was just guessing.

Seems I was right.
Something as common as a mouse / joystick is always standardized, and there's really no reason why the Pandora wouldn't support the HID standard for BT. I mean, it's a standard.

Thanks man! You are always so helpful when ever I have a question. Glad to have you in the forums.

no he just lurks. the vast amount of information at his disposal is purely from lurking.

 

[lulzfish]

My sources of information are, in order, lurking, reading the Wikipedia, and making stuff up that later happens to be true.

Lol nice man.

My wife has an Asus EEE running Linux (Ubuntu Jaunty Netbook Remix) and a Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse. It takes a little while to figure out how to set up, but once it's working it's pretty rock solid.

I'm sure someone will be able to document the process and give help when needed.
