Nexus 7: use your mice

In the section of Connect to Devices of "Nexus 7 Guidebook", it is mentioned that Nexus 7 tablet can be connected to other devices by the USB cable and adapter.

I happened to have a USB wireless mice, and just tried to connect it with Nexus 7, and it worked well. I can use the mouse to click on the items on the screen, even at 3 meters away. The system handles the mouse event very well and smooth, including scrolling the home screen with the center wheel of the mouse.

Clicking on the 3 navigation buttons at the bottom of the screen also works well. On some of the android phones, clicking on the 3 navigation buttons with the mouse does not work, though it works well for other mouse events. Looks like the 3 navigation buttons on the phones I tested are not on the LCD display, that is the reason the mouse even can not reach to the 3 navigation buttons.

While I also tried the Android sample code of FingerPaint under the category of Graphics. I can use the mouse to do the painting, and other events. But looks like the app would not handle the finger touch and mouse event at the same time, this is truce for the finger touch and mouse motion events on the home screen.
