iPad Pro Bluetooth Mouse for the iPad Pro ?

[augustya]

Hi Guys,

Which is the best mouse to use with the 11" iPad Pro ? And does how does it needs to be connected ? is it Bluetooth or through a USB-C drive? And if i already have a Bluetooth Keyboard connected already with the iPad Pro I cannot connect a Bluetooth Mouse right ? At one point of time only one Bluetooth Device can be connected isn't it ?

iOS devices can be paired and used with multiple Bluetooth devices at the same time.
With regards to the mouse, it mostly comes down to what model you feel comfortable with. Modern mice can often be connected to more than one device at the same time so you could use certain models on your Mac and iPad.

I'm using the Logitech MX Anywhere 2S mouse and the Logitech Slim Folio keyboard case on my 12.9 Pro, both connected at the same via Bluetooth and both work great - no issues. Also have Sony earbuds and the Apple 2 pencil connected at the same time. The mouse in nice is that it can readily switch between my iPad and docked laptop (one button).

Yup, the Logitech MX 2S is regularly mentioned as a great mouse for iPad. I use the Swiftpoint GT bluetooth because I use it to remote into my Mac Mini at work regularly and I get full RDP mouse support that way. It is a decent mouse, but expensive and slightly too small to be considered ”ergonomic” (you are meant to grip it like a pencil/pen).

So the way to do this would be first connect the first device which would be in my case the Keyboard and then the same way go on to connect to second device the Bluetooth Mouse. Just the normal procedure right ?

Guys any other option other than the Logitech MX anywhere 2S. It's shape looks a little weird and i have read that it takes some time to get used to hold it, grip it.

I don’t think it matters if you pair the keyboard or mouse first. Should be fine either way.

I’ve switched to trackballs this year and am enjoying that a lot. Currently using the Logitech MX trackball.

Odd that people have issues with shape/size of this mouse. I have several different mice of various makes and don't find anything unusual about it.

The reason i am asking about two Bluetooth connection device is because i have never ever tried to connect two Bluetooth Device both at the same time. So don't even know if this works ? Hence Confirming !!

What about a Microsoft Arc mouse?

Yes this one looks stylish and neat. But holy smoke !! $80 iPad accessories are equally expensive it is like buying a BMW car and then you have to pay equally more for buying accessories for it. But this one looks neat !!

Not sure if it’s the best, but I have using the Microsoft wireless mouse 3600 (can’t recall the full name offhand) with my laptop and it’s been working great for me. Excellent tactile feel as well.
