All iPads IPadOS Mouse Impressions

Smart Keyboard doesn’t function well when I have usb mouse connected to the lightning to USB adaptor. The Smart Keyboard will refuse register key or randomly registering keys like crazy.

P.S. I have not tested Bluetooth mouse as I cannot find one in my house. Smart Keyboard will not function at all (or function very poorly) when I have usb mouse connected.

[doublepost=1559944198][/doublepost]Went to install the Beta and got the "are you sure - why don't you wait for the public beta" message - is it for the faint hearted?

I’ve found the beta pretty stable. Hasn’t crashed once in 3 days. The only thing that’s happened is occasionally the split view will have a glitch where you can’t drag the window to make the split wider or slimmer. Have to restart to fix. But it’s pretty uncommon.

If I use my sons iPad 6th gen it feels like something is wrong and everything is very wavy and sluggish. I’m assuming his iPad is at 60hz on the home screen, or 60fps. I’m not 100% sure.

This ^ sluggishness will be even more noticeable with a cursor or a mouse. It’ll feel like very slow input latency.

Go in to a Apple store and try one out, use it for a few minutes and then try a normal refresh rate iPad side by side.

It is not that big of a deal. It will not even bother you, because this is what you are used to. Or you will get used to with a mouse if you’re planning on adding one.

If you owned a 3rd gen iPad Pro, and then went backwards then it might would seriously bother you.

Other than that. You’ll be fine. No worries.

The 2nd gen iPad pros also support 120hz.
 
How do you hide the assistive touch button when using the mouse? Best I’ve figured out is making it more invisible.

In the Assistive Touch options turn off “Always Show Menu”.

Brilliant thanks!!!
[doublepost=1560043748][/doublepost]For anyone testing with an external trackpad - does pinching work to zoom in and out? Only have a mouse to test with.

Wow. I was wondering why my Apple Magic Mouse (first gen) was not supported. Tried a few times. Don’t want to buy a new one just for this feature. Maybe a USB dongle will do the trick and allow me to use wired mouse. Witch a mouse and keyboard of some kind, I can technically play Starcraft II on an iPad Pro, if the game is supported.

Now, too bad that we still cannot drag app windows around....

Well,
You can drag with the mouse/finger and have the side by side multitask view...
It’s not app windows, but it very close to it...
 
Well, i finally get my iPad Pro 9.7 working with both Bluetooth mouse and my Smart Keyboard combination. I am disappointed that the mouse does not support highlight texts.

It works (unless you are using microsoft apps), just differently from the Mac. You can trigger the selection by using a double click & drag instead of the usual single click & drag from MacOS

How did you get it to work? My Smart Keyboard is not working consistently when a Bluetooth mouse is activated via Assisttive Touch....one of the other works but not at the same time.
 
Has anyone tried mouse with remote desktop apps such as VNC or Teamviewer? Does it work?
