After the IOS 16.5 update, I can no longer use my mouse when my Switch Control is on. Technically, I can still hover and scroll with my mouse but the clicking function does not work anymore. Nonetheless, my mouse works perfectly fine when Switch Control is off.
I mainly use the Switch Control function for gaming and I never really had any issues with the previous IOS version. Please help, thanks.
iPad, iPadOS 16
Hi A-29,
Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities! To help isolate the issue, we recommend adjusting the settings of the mouse as listed below and testing:
Use a Bluetooth mouse or trackpad with your iPad
Adjust mouse settings
To change how your Bluetooth mouse works, go to Settings > General > Trackpad & Mouse. On the screen that appears, you can adjust these settings:
* To adjust how quickly the pointer moves when you use the mouse, drag the Tracking Speed slider.
* To make content track the movement of your fingers when you scroll, turn on Natural Scrolling.
With a mouse, you can also choose a behavior for a secondary click. In iPadOS, a secondary click acts like a long press on the iPad touchscreen, or a Control-click (or right-click) on a Mac. For example, when you use a secondary mouse click on an iPad app icon, its contextual menu appears.
Select Secondary Click, then choose whether you want a secondary click to happen when you click on the left or right side of your mouse, or not at all. You can also perform a secondary click on iPad with any pointing device by holding the Control key as you click.
Thank you.
