Using A Usb Mouse

[stustaff]

So I have connected a standard USB microsoft mouse and it lights up but does not work at all.

Do I need to do something to activate it?

Thanks

I think the problem is that Pandora has a USB2 port and most mice and eyboards use USB1 spec for compatibility...
So... you need a hub to plugin your usb mouse.

I've only been able to get a USB mouse to work in the USB2GO port with an adapter, then again this was without a powered hub cause I don't have one.

Also, plugging in a USB1.1 device (such as mouse or keyboard) crashes the USB host, and it will no longer recognize things plugged into it, even if they are USB2.0 compatible. The only way to recover is to reboot the Pandora, unfortunately. I'm pretty sure this is a hardware flaw with the OMAP chip itself, since the BeagleBoard does the same thing.

This one works a treat with the Pandora. However if you were going to use a wired mouse there are all sorts of small USB hubs that you can use.

Thanks, I can also confirm thatbthe apple magic mouse works perfectly.

Weird playing cannon fodder with it...
