For instance, my current MX Master setup is: If you navigate back to Pointing Devices and select your mouse device, iPadOS will guide you through clicking buttons on your mouse and assigning a default action to that button click. There are a variety of ways to customize your mouse experience in the iPadOS public beta - so many, in fact, that a rookie like me initially thinks there’s more options here than in macOS. You can take mouse support much further though and you can avoid having to complete regular gestures by assigning custom functions to individual mouse buttons. Scroll through pages (in “natural” direction, as Apple puts it, which is entirely opposite of how scroll wheels have worked since inception) and columns with the scroll wheel like you normally would slide with your finger. Drag up with the pointer from the bottom of the home screen to go to the home screen or bring up the App Switcher. Move the mouse around and click on screen elements as though you were tapping with your finger. Once completed, you should see a large gray pointer floating around the middle of your screen.įor regular moving around, the mouse works exactly as your finger would. In order to get everything working though, you’ll have to navigate back to the AssistiveTouch menu and toggle AssistiveTouch on. Tap your mouse device and you should be all set. My iPad found my MX Master mouse almost immediately after setting the mouse into pairing mode, so the pairing experience here was phenomenal.

Go to Settings → Accessibility → Touch → AssistiveTouch → Pointing Devices to setup a Bluetooth or wired mouse.
Setting Up a Bluetooth MouseĪpple has hidden mouse support away in the Accessibility category of Settings. The cursor is (currently) a large circular pointer rather than the ubiquitous arrow pointer, right and left clicks work fundamentally differently on iPadOS than standard desktop operating systems, and how the current iteration of mouse support interacts both individually and alongside finger-touch support (and other Bluetooth devices, like the Apple Pencil, for that matter) is different as well.īut even just after a few days of fooling around with a mouse in the current iPadOS public beta, I think a ton of people are going to find mouse support functional, enjoyable, and - dare I say - even more powerful than anything they’ve seen on macOS. Mouse support in iPadOS acts slightly different than how I envisioned it, but I hadn’t really fleshed out any thoughts prior to trying it.
