Will this Chromebook allow me to connect a USB mouse ? I still cannot get use to using a touch pad. Thanks.

Yes. I in fact use a wireless USB mouse with my Chromebook and it works perfectly. You can also hook up a wired USB mouse if you would like.

The Chromebook touchpad is fine but for longer sessions I prefer using a mouse and the M325 is my favorite.

I use a mouse also, plugs in by USB I just never touch the touch pad. My mouse is a Microsoft wireless 4000You can add external mouse and keyboard with USB. BTW, this is a great computer for the price. Sleek, modern, duel Core AMD Radeon. E2 HD LED LCD widescreen. Only 4 GB memory though and 500GBHDD. I don't know if there is any way to disable pad, but why would you need to with a mouse? Best of luck. I hope I helped.

It's going to be very difficult using a mouse. I hate touchpads too. When I'm using the FitDeck I read or watch TV.

It's bluetooth so pick a bluetooth mouse. If you have built-in bluetooth, you don't need any USB ports.

Honestly, I don't know. I use mine perfectly with my Windows laptop, and I didn't have to do anything but plug it in to a usb port. Works a lot better than my wired mouse, actually. I think this is designed to be compatible across the board, but I am not familiar with Chromebook.

Hi, I use a Microsoft wireless touch mouse without any problems. It uses an USB Nano transceiver which Works well (about the mouse, do not buy that model, the touch design is more a bother than anything else). Another thing, if you want to upgrade this machine to Windows 8, this would require that you upgrade the bios to enable the hardware buttons. The bios upgrade is not reliable in this device!! (actually, I bricked my asus doing that), please check on internet before do it.

I definitely have 2 usb ports. btw, I am having issues with over sensitivity in the mouse pad. really jittery and brings up pages I pass over and don't click on. Seemsto be a fairly common problem with this computer. good luck

I purchased a mini mouse but not because of touchpad going bad. Because I'm used to mouses. I have a mouse with a cord because, to me, it easier to keep up with but works great with my netbook. I recommend it.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with the Chromebook. I used this with a Macbook Pro.

Hi Thomas I've never tried it with a tablet nor a Chromebook since pen support was not available at the time of purchase (Chrome OS.)

Yes, but I would recommend checking to see if your model Chromebook supports Bluetooth, and going with that to save a USB port.

I used the built-in touch pad on the laptop. Don't think there's enough room to maneuver a mouse effectively.

The mouse is plug-&-play, and Chrome OS supports most plug-&-play mice and keyboards, so you should be good to go with this.

I use it on my laptop so as long as you have a USB port on your Chromebook I don't see why it wouldn't work. Just plug the USB from the mouse into a USB on your Chromebook and slide the on/off switch on the bottom of the mouse to on to activate. If for some reason it doesn't immediately recognize the mouse, push the connect button on the bottom of the mouse.

Microsoft does not offer a driver for the chromebook, so ultimately no. You may be able to find a 3rd party driver that could force it to work however that can be risky.

Doesn't the chromebook already have wifi built in? You should not need a usb wif adapter.
