TeslaOS: What will connect via the USB port?

[wcalvin]

A wired mouse will connect via the USB ports in the Model S but (in my experience) a wireless one will not.
A thumb drive will connect.
A wired USB keyboard but not (in my experience) a wireless one.
What have you tested?

What do you see when you plug in a mouse or keyboard that confirms the TeslaOS sees it? Does a mouse pointer appear, for example?

I had a USB Logitech Track Ball laying around and decided to plug it in. A blue dot appears when you move the track ball. It goes away once you stop moving the trackball. You can select an item by pressing the track ball left button.

Blue Cursor Dot visible near Average button

I have a USB hard drive formatted with the Linux EXT4 filesystem. It works great for my FLAC music collection. I also have a bluetooth keyboard with a bluetooth to USB adapter. No luck there with either the adapter or bluetooth. I also tried a USB DVD ROM drive. Again, no luck.

So old thread, but fwiw, wireless mouse with USB dongle works fine, in v8.1 ...44 but a wireless keyboard also with USB dongle not.

Anyone here knows why this used to work but was soon disabled? Security?
