Hello, I have an A1474 iPad Air and would like to use an external mouse. Is that possible and if so what mouse is suggested? Also, Is there a iPad keyboard with touchpad in the marked that supports the A1474? Please advice thank you

Will Apple add support for Apple Pencil 2 Hover on M1 Pro iPads? I just purchased my M1 iPad Pro and I am discouraged and disappointed that I cannot experience what seams to be a software locked feature after spending over one and a half thousand dollars on the device and Apple accessories. Does Apple plan on unlocking this feature anytime soon or provide a hardware limitation explanation other than “M2’? I’m staying hopeful. Thanks, -Nathan

It is not possible to use a mouse with that device

There is no keyboard with trackpad which supports that device either
