Redmond Pie decided to try out BTstack Mouse on a Jailbroken iPad and the results were promising:

Not only did it worked with Apple Magic Mouse, but also with almost all the other Bluetooth enabled mice I had. For those of you who don’t know, BTstack Mouse is a free utility which was first released earlier this year for jailbroken iPhones and iPod touch.

First a Nintendo Wiimote, then an external HDD, now BT mouse. Is there anything Jailbreak can’t do?

Check out Ally’s Spirit Jailbreak guide, and TiPb’s Jailbreak forum for more, and the link below for step-by-step BTstack for iPad instructions.

Based on the open-source BTstack project, it’s been tested on:

• Apple Bluetooth keyboard
• Think Outside Stowaway Universal keyboard
• Palm Wireless keyboard

But should work on any similarly functioning device, and the status for iPhone 2G appears to still be up in the air.

Until Apple sees fit to add their own BT driver (and the HID, Human Interface Device profile) for their own BT keyboard, this is another area only Jailbreak can fill. So, as always, if you try it out, let us know how it works for you. Preferably, let us know while typing on your iPhone via a BT keyboard!
