How To Hook A Wireless Mouse to Your Android Device

    Each day as technology advances, you are starting to see more and more touch screen devices take the place of physical devices that once helped us navigate the screens on our older devices. If your one of those folks that miss using a physical device with your computer powered devices, and you happened to purchase an Android powered device, then your in luck. With the latest operating system, the Jellybean operating system, and newer, you can have the ability to use a wireless mouse with your Android powered device, and even a physical keyboard.

            An important note, this only appears to work with stock Android operating systems, which have not been heavily altered by the device manufacture. Each manufacture has the ability to skin the Android operating system to put their companies touch on it, and a lot of time, they will take this feature out of the operating system to make room for one of their own features. With that being said, lets begin.

            Today, I will let you know how you can open the door to this opportunity, and let you explore its possibilities. First you will need to purchase an adaptor from a online market place, which is called a usb to micro usb adaptor, which looks like this. I purchased this one for $1.99 off of Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/CNE13028-Female-Micro-Cable-Adapter/dp/B005GI2VMG/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1394379472&sr=1-1&keywords=female+usb+to+micro+usb

    You will notice that it has a standard female usb plug in on one side, and a male micro usb port on the other end of the adaptor. Next, you will want to take the wireless transmitter that came with your wireless mouse, and plug it into the standard female usb plug in side of the adaptor.

    Next, you will want to plug the micro usb side of the adaptor into your tablet or smartphone. Afterwards, power on your wireless mouse, and before you know it, you should see a mouse pointer in seconds.

    You can go into the settings menu of your device, under keboards & Input, and scroll to the bottom of the list, and you should find pointer speed adjustments, and assign which button does what.

     With this adaptor, you will find that you can use a physical keyboard, thumb drives, and mice. With this knowledge, you will find that you will start to feel even more comfortable with your touch screen devices, and begin to enjoy them just as you did with your former older devices.
