Mouse Cursor?

[mitty]

Seems like maybe the mouse cursor isn't here yet? I've still go the round one when I pair a bluetooth mouse. Unless there's some hidden setting to turn it on?

It worked fine out of the box for me. Maybe try rebooting?

Still nothing after a reboot. this is on an iPad Air gen 4. The windowing functions work surprisingly well however. There’s pointer controls in accessibility settings but nothing about a mouse cursor, it’s till just the round dot.

Strange, it worked for me right away.

Tried two different mice, a Logitech MX Anywhere, and then just dug out an old Magic Mouse, but still no pointed cursor with either of them.

I saw a post on Reddit that said turning off assistive touch changed it to a pointer for that user.

Yep, that did it for me. Thanks

^Ditto, thanks for that. What's annoying is that you have to turn assistive touch ON to configure any extra mouse buttons you might have (depending on the mouse) and use them. I understand why these things are in Assistive touch under accessibility settings, but really they should all be related to the bluetooth device under bluetooth settings. Eg the Logitech MX Anywhere has a button you can configure to task switcher which is very handy but you can't use it if you have assistive touch turned off, so you can see the mouse pointer! Hopefully they fix this.

Agree - I also use the MX Master 3.
