Mouse pointer size on iOS 14.2

Maybe give new update first please

This hack worked like a charm.

I was dying to fix it.

Exactly the same problem with the pointer size when using a Magic keyboard. I do not have assistive touch turned on.

Just follow the steps above.

it’ll be resolved.

Try to scroll with the Apple Magic Mouse after you turn it off.

Thanks so much for sharing this.

I was getting really irritated by it too as I also use Assistive Touch features.

Thankfully now I know how to get it back to the smaller size.

Again, it might "Fix" the pointer issue But it makes "Perform Touch Gestures" unusable as would be expected by the term "Turn Off".

So in the end, NO it does not fix the issue.

Agree with you there Rfunk

I’m really bothered by this too. Also, ipad is slow now. I wish I hadn’t updated but the pointer size is ANNOYING and doesn’t look sleek. Please Apple fix this!

Ok but faster please

Same here. The update didn’t fix the issue for me either. I had to switch off assistive touch which I was very used to.

Not good same like befor

mouse is not working same like befor

Just read an article this morning, new article,dealing with Navigation apps not working well with Bluetooth in ios14. Apparently navigation instructions being interfered with. I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see our problem also involving bluetooth. Let me know if you would like to see the article link

Same experience for me, plus the scrolling issues others have mentioned. Simply disabling Perform Touch Gestures added new problems without improving usability, and disabling AssistiveTouch altogether is not an option for me. I tried restoring my 14.1 backup that I made right before upgrading, but that was before learning that Apple blocked any kind of downgrading (even from backups), so I was forced to upgrade back to 14.2 after the restore was complete.

Apple Support had me restore the iPad and set it up as new. This seems to have resolved all the issues I was having with the magic keyboard on 14.2. But this is a solution so far from ideal as to be utter madness. Fortunately for me, I've only had this iPad for about two months, so I have not lost much. And even though I'm now disgruntled at having to set up everything all over again, it's still better to have the thing functioning as expected. I'll never run another OS upgrade in the middle of a semester again, that's for sure.

Thanks for your notes on this matter. I agree; running this update so early was a rookie move on my part. If I understand your post correctly, restoring as new was the magic bullet (for you) that returned the magic keyboard's functionality to the way it operated pre-14.2. So you are running in 14.2 but no longer have any of the issues reported above, yes? Thanks!

Cheers,
