I have not checked Bluetooth yet. As there are no USB-A connectors, I am playing with the idea of getting a Bluetooth mouse. I've not used them before.
I tried one, an Amazon basics model, cheap. Worked instantly (on Windows). Then I removed it, I need it for a broken Android tablet, where it worked after some convincing.
The only issue is that you may need a working mouse to get the BT mouse working :-)
I have a Logitech bluetooth keyboard that I use with my Amazon Fire, and also with an iPad. It just works. So I'd be hopeful a bluetooth mouse would work without difficulty.
I second that. Get yourself a Logitech wireless mouse with the Logitech Unified Receiver - plug the receiver into the USB port and it will just work. You can pair additional Logitech devices (keyboards, mice) with the same receiver but this requires the Windows-based Logitech software. Yes, you CAN do that in Virtualbox - but you'll have to connect the USB Logitech Receiver to the guest rather than the host (through the Virtualbox Devices menu). Once you've paired the additional devices, disconnect the receiver from the guest (again, via Devices -> USB) and it will automatically reconnect to the host. Or, of course, you can use a Windows desktop/laptop/tablet to do the same thing. -- ============================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au CCNA #CSCO12880208 ============================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
