    Wireless Keyboard & Mouse

    I was finally able to get a Wireless Mouse & Keyboard to work with the Android 40 Mini PC.
    The Vidon.me FAQ says that the Mini PC should work with All Wireless Keyboards and Mice, but Allwinner A10 Processor doesn't have 2.4g Bluetooth Built into the chip.

    I bought a Logitech Couch Mouse and a Logitech k750 Wireless (Solar Powered) Keyboard.
    I plugged the Mouse Unifying BT Receiver into the USB Port and Power Cycled the Mini PC
    The Mouse connected immediately, but then it took me awhile to figure out how to get the keyboard to connect to Logitech's Unifying BT Receiver
    The first solution was to plug the Wireless Keyboards Unifying Receiver in the the Mini USB port (Using the supplied Mini USB to USB Adapter) So I currently have two Unifying Receivers plugged into the Mini PC and I am currently typing this Forum Post on my Logitech k750 Wireless Keyboard.

    Immediately after I Post this Message, I am going to unplug the Mouse's Unifying BT Receiver and will plug it into my Windows PC and attempt to Unify the Mouse & Keyboard to the same Unifying BT Receiver, then move it back to the Android 40 Mini PC (Unplug the Keyboards Unifying BT Receiver) and see if they both work with the same Logitech Unifying BT Receiver.

    I will post my results afterwards!

    Note: I thought the Mini PC was supposed to recognize that a Wireless Keyboard was attached, but every time I click on the screen with my mouse, it opens the Soft Keyboard (I don't mind it so much, because I can minimize it with one Mouse Click... However, it doesn't feel natural / like a real computer because of the Soft Keyboard popping up. However, it is nice to have the spelling correction available)

    SUCCESS!!!
    I downloaded the Logitech Unifying Software to my PC, then ran the Unifying Software and followed the onscreen instructions.
    I then unplugged the Unifying Receiver from my PC, and plugged it into the Mini PC (And Unplugged the Wireless Keyboards Unifying Receiver) and I am now using a single Unifying BT Receiver on the Mini PC.
    The Unifying Receiver is now configured for the Keyboard & Mouse.

    NOTE: I am typing this Forum Post on my Logitech K750 Wireless Keyboard and Logitech M515 Wireless Couch Mouse using Google Chrome on my Android 4.0 Mini PC.

    I wish the Vidon.Me Android 40 Mini PC had implemented the IR Capabilities that are built into the Allwinner A10 Processor. I was hoping to program my Logitech Universal Remote to work with the Vidonme TV (XBMC) application.

    (But for the price, this is Mini PC a really kool device)

      Logitech K400 plus separate mouse works with Android Mini PC

      Thanks for your post! This is the only post I have found on the internet that explains this issue. I would never have guessed that you can link devices to the Unifying receiver on a Windows PC, then move them to an Android PC.

      My Logitech K400 worked fine with the mini PC, but my separate Logitech mouse (and separate Unifying receiver) would not work. That mouse worked fine on a PC. I followed your instructions: downloaded the Logitech Unifying Software on a Windows PC, linked the two devices together on the same Logitech Unifying receiver, then moved them to the Android PC and it works great!

      On a separate note, the Logitech Unifying receiver interferes a bit with the wireless for the Android Mini PC. So I used a short USB extension cord to move the Unifying receiver a little further away from the body of the Android Mini PC and it's fine.
