I have just got a Logitech MX Anywhere 2 mouse to try using with my iPad Pro - as much as anything as I have been curious how it would work and if I would find useful.

Setting up was easy and I do like being able to set up for all the buttons to useful functions.

On using I personally find ok, although am not sure if quicker than swiping and using touch screen, except for those buttons on mouse. Nice to be able to get to app switcher, or control panel with touch of button. I wish there were buttons on Smart Keyboard to carry out these actions.

But I have seen some strange behaviour (bugs?) with the interface which I have never seen before, so I think must be connected with the mouse. The right arrow on keyboard suddenly started moving the curser left and not right. The left still moved left, so no way to move right with keyboard. Then just now when I swiped up on slide over to change app, everything was blurred out. In both cases I have had to disconnect mouse and restart iPad to restore to normal. Has anyone else experienced these problems?

I have a 12.9 1TB LTE SG pro. Have the pencil. I use the new MX master 3 logitech mouse. Previously I had a 2S paired with it.

I have the Logitech keyboard case but currently using the K780 ( i flip flop betwixt them ).

Ive been using the mouse since iOS 13 consumer version landed (did not use the beta). Other than the scrol wheel working opposite, ive had zero issues or “bugs” with the system. Ive used HDD and SSD drives connected as well.

Since my brain issued to the pencil Ive re wired my brain to get used to the mouse. After weeks of using the mouse, it feels natural to me. I use my ipad weekdays for hours.

I’d say try a different mouse (even a cheap one just to test) and/or try without the mouse and see/ if you can reproduce an issue you are seeing, post it up and i (or others)can self they can reproduce it.
