Hi there. What kind of mouse and monitor plugs will work with the BookArc? I don't see a list of the types of ports that exist on it. Thank you

It's a stand to place your MBA upright to save desk space. You can connect the power cord, and your desktop monitor and other peripherals to the ports on the MBA. I have a 21" monitor connected to the MBA. I am using a wireless keyboard and mouse connected to the MBA via Bluetooth.

There are no ports of any kind on the BookArc: it is simply a stand that holds the MBA vertically so that it takes up less space on your desktop when used with an external display, keyboard, and trackpad. There is a small hole through which you can thread a power cable, and possibly a thin displayport cable, but that's it.

There are no ports on it. It's just a stand to hold your Mac upright. You have to use mini display port that plugs into your Mac-- make sure the female end is the right port for your monitor. Then I used wireless keyboard plugged directly into the mac.

It is a stand only. There are no ports on it. It doesn't cover any of the existing ports, so you can still plug in whatever you want to the computer itself.

II have an LG wide screen monitor, charger and two usb nubs for a wireless mouse and keyboard. The ends on my macbook air are free and clear to.accept anything on my machine. I really like mine.

There is a big 1-1.5" port along the edge of compatible notebooks, which this expansion port connects to. This is a custom plug, and is fairly obvious: If you can't find it, it must not be there.(there also may be a PCI slot, but that will have a cover or insert; this one is exposed metal)

We used my daughter's old monitor and it worked perfectly but it came with a new keyboard and mouse so we just used those. Hope this helps. My grandkids love the computer!!

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.

First, please know that I am far from expert on this (or any electronics). That said, there is a monitor plug. I don't know if it can be used in tandem. I started using this as a port == I have various things attached to it, and now I just have the one thing to plug into my laptop. I found a user manual here -- perhaps it will answer your question better... http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03123989.pdf

The Asus VivoTab does have a micro USB port and you can get a short adapter cable (about ($9.00) to allow use of thumb drives, USB mouse, card readers etc. I don't know if it supports USB printer connection as I have not tried that with mine. I have also used the adapter arrangement to connect directly to my Canon camera to directly download photos from the camera.

Download it from Microsoft. You can google "Microsoft optical notebook optical mouse 3000" and get a link right to the driver. Actually, it does not /need/ the software, since both Windows and Mac will initially see it as a basic USB mouse. However, the software will allow you to set the scroll speed and options for the additional button on the side (which usually activates a nifty magnifier).

It probably depends on what you have plugged into it. Note that certain things won't work in this hub - I don't have a single mouse that will work when plugged into it, and mine is connected to the power supply. Call their customer service and I'm sure they'll be happy to assist (although I'm not sure about on a Sunday). Good luck, Claudio. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

yes, it is on my system. most usb ports are backward compatible. As an aside - both of my mouses (mice?) are wireless and I have them both plugged in at that same time and just grab which one I want to use.

Thank you. My other port is occupied by a wireless mouse receiver but I have figured out a solution. Your post was very helpful.

This system takes BNC output from a device and converts it to VGA. Where I work, we use a measuring device which has BNC outputs and instead of having to purchase a specialized monitor with BNC or RCA plug inputs, we now use this converter to take the BNC output and convert it to VGA which means that any old computer monitor can be used, instead of specialty (and expensive) specialty monitors. However, this really does not address what you are looking for which is converter for BNC output to a USB input. I'll ask my IT guy about this tomorrow, it may end-up being a solution for you.

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.

It works great with Windows 8.1 64bit. I custom build my system. I tried to use the mouse in the past, and I could never get it to work. I believe I finally figured that using usb wireless adapters didn't work. I bought a high end Pci express wireless network adapter with 3 antennas' and it works awesome. The drivers from Hp website and I haven't had a problem. It is a life saver for freeing up a usb slot.

I picked one up in Tacoma, Washington at Office Depot tonight. Good luck. Take a look at the Logitech V470 Bluetooth Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks to compare it against something. I think the MS one is feature packed, but the Logitech one is elegant and sexy. Either one fits the bill for BT notebooks users.

The Chromebook has a USB port, so it should work. (USB 2.0 is sufficient, and a USB 3.0 port will work too, though you'd want to save that for devices that can benefit from the speed, like external disk drives.) A mouse is about as generic and common as you can get. I haven't seen one yet that has any compatibility problems.

I always turn on my MBP, close the lid and slide it into the BookArc. Must be plugged into the power source for the monitor to work.

I can't find any specs on power requirement, but there's nothing in the mouse that draws any significant amount of power. That said, it should work in any usb port, so the port on the monitor should be just fine. Depending on your operating system, the monitor usb port should usually be connected to a usb 2.0 port on the back of the computer so it will be active when the computer is first booting. If the port is connected to a usb port that isn't active early in the boot process, you won't be able to use it to make selections in the bios configuration. Otherwise, it's a great mouse and provides wonderful relief for those with wrist problems aggravated by a conventional mouse.
