Connect magic mouse 1 to apple tv

I second the need for a mouse on Apple TV for the exact use case of remote desktop through Moonlight, etc. iPad doesn't have/need a mouse pointer either, but it still supports a mouse and will emulate a pointer when a mouse is used. I've found that the Siri remote trackpad works for basic pointer movements and clicking, but clicking on desktop sized buttons is a pain as the pointer will shift as soon as you press down. I've had to resort to using a Logitech wireless mouse and keyboard connected to the headless PC which is upstairs and more than 30 feet away which makes the reliability of the connection absolute garbage. I think a better technology to develop would be an implementation of Bluetooth mesh networking in their devices.

I'm not sayign there's not a use case. I'm simply saying its currently not supported.

You can tell Apple: Feedback - Apple TV - Apple and they may be inclined to add the option if enough people require it.

The Apple Tv has no mouse pointer, so nothing to control with a mouse, as such they aren't supported on Apple TV.

What are you trying to accomplish with a mouse?

If you want to control the iPad then you need to connect the mouse to the iPad, not the Apple TV.

The iPad got that support via an iPadOS update. It has a pointer and can be used accordingly. There is no such function on Apple TV and would serve no purpose on a TV platform. The input methods are as follows: Siri or aluminum remote, universal remote, game controllers (MFI, PS4, Xbox), BT keyboard.

Those input methods are used for simple navigation, and hardly constitutes the same functionality as a mouse. Furthermore, it doesn't change the fact that there is no pointer. It isn't artificially limiting the connectivity as no mouse can be used.

You are free to contact Apple directly to give your feedback. This is a user forum and as already stated what you are asking is not currently possible.

Sorry, mice not supported on an Apple TV, so by definition would not work with any App on an Apple TV.
