All iPads IPadOS Mouse Impressions

[EugW]

Finally picked up a cheap BT mouse to try this out, since my MM2 or Magic Trackpad aren’t working with this. So far I love it. I do wish I could invert the scrolling and change scroll speeds, but outside of that it is really great. It plus using a PS4 controller for games, really makes this feel like a great portable game/work system now.

Please submit feedback to Apple on this. I submitted feedback on the lack of reverse scrolling already, because I find "natural" scrolling very unnatural.

So what mouse are people using for this? Apple one work ok?

I am using a Microsoft Surface Arc mouse, solely for it's flatness and easy of transport. Ideally a Logitech MX Master mouse works better as it can be paired with 3 seperate devices and you can customize the button functions in iPadOS.

Have you tried Magic Trackpad 2 via Assistive Touch's Bluetooth settings?

I've got the Apple Magic Mouse to work but no scrolling. Anyone got a mouse to scroll, particularly in Safari?

No, the one with 2 AA batteries.

Mouse wheel only works in Settings App, but not in Safari or Chrome, am I right?
I love iPad, but hate most the finger scrolling for web pages, if mouse wheel works, wow...

Done, hopefully someone does something about it.

Mouse wheel works just fine in Safari.

Mouse wheel works just fine in Safari.

I am using Logi mouse too, no wheel scrolling in Safari. Maybe there is some setting required

I don’t recall enabling any setting for scrolling. I do know when the first beta came out I tried a different mouse and scrolling did not work. Which Logitech mouse do you have?

anything new in ipad os beta 4 in terms of the mouse?

last time they made an option for a smaller curser.

I went back to ios12 because some of my important apps were crashing too frequently. Any info would be appreciated.

I was wondering the same thing, specifically whether anyone is successfully able to connect a Magic Mouse 2 or a Magic Trackpad 2 wirelessly.

 

[duffyanneal]

I don’t see any changes to the mouse options in beta 4. I don’t have a MM/MT to test.

 

[Smici]

There is a Long press option for assign to a mouse button, but it’s not working for me. Anyone else?

Thanks, maybe in the next beta, but it’s exists, that’s cool

I love it, but wish I could just pair via bluetooth. I had to buy a cheap usb c mouse with a adapter (or whatever you call it). Has anyone gotten it working just strictly with bluetooth? If so, which mouse? Love the feature though and made working with certain apps so much easier.

Yes, i got it to work purely via bluetooth using a) Magic Mouse 1 and b) a cheap mouse bought on amazon called "victsing wireless mouse"

Is scrolling with the MM1 now working. My MM1 worked before via Bluetooth but scrolling in Safari didn’t work. This was with the first public beta.

Awesome thank you. Did it work from the beginning? I haven't tried since beta 4 was released so I want to give that a go first. Trying to see if they are adding better support with each beta. Appreciate the info.

Blasphemy!
