Can I use a USB mouse? Thank you!

Yes! I have an older USB presentation mouse, and although I got an "unsupported" message when I plugged it in, it works. Advances my PowerPoint slides right on cue.

It doesn't appear so, there is simply no functionality for a pointer. I have heard rumors that there is a way to get bluetooth mice to work with rdp and vnc clients but I haven't had time to check it out.

I have never tried it, but I can't imagine it wouldn't. A USB mouse is a USB mouse. Although I haven't tried it myself, I've never met anyone that claimed that a USB mouse was incompatible with Windows 8. You can google it if you'd like the extra security, but personally I wouldn't have any doubts about it working. I love this mouse. I have multiple copies.

I have not tried it, but I have used the USB ports with thumb drives and external hard drives so I would imagine a mouse would work just fine.

Yes. I have used a USB mouse with my Chromebook and it's exactly the same as a Windows or Mac - just plug and play.

The mouse can be used on a laptop computer. That is what I am using it with.

I would like to know the same. Can a mouse be used with this Chrome notebook?

Yes. It's a USB mouse so works like any USB device. There should be NO drivers/software to install. Plug in the USB receiver (stores in the bottom of the mouse when not in use) and press the Connect button(s). To get full functionality you may want to install the IntelliPoint software from Microsoft. NOTE: There is a button in the slot where the USB receiver is stored. This button MAY GET 'stuck'. If the mouse fails to respond when the USB receiver is plugged into the computer, and the battery is known good, ensure this button is fully released.GL,Td

Yes you can use a mouse . Any pc based mouse should work , Logitech is a really good brand I've found . I also believe Bluetooth mice are supported as well

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

You sure can. There's a hotkey for it. I usually keep my touchpad off when i can and use a cheap usb mouse.

I'm not sure. I don't know how you'd go about that. Personally I'd just say to go with a bluetooth mouse in addition to this if you need it.

After doing some research the revised answer is "No:" the mouse is incompatible. Sorry.

Yes. Just tried it with my optical mouse. Windows installed the driver and recognized it within a minute.
