Does the iPad support a mouse?

No.

WTM,

Philly_Phan is correct, even if a little abrupt.

The iPad iOS is "touch screen." There is nothing for a mouse to move -- there is no cursor.

(Yes, there is/are "insertion points" in search fields and other places where you start typing, but they function different than what a mouse can do.)

Some bluetooth keyboards (apparently, I am told, I haven't checked this out myself) can use the arrow keys to move to an insertion point.

It would seem to me that some users with some physical disabilities could use a mouse better than a finger...maybe Apple will allow the technology in some limited fashion.

Abrupt?

Hey, I answered the question in its entirety!

Yes.

You did.

And I even said you were "correct."

Let's not start a pflame.

Lighten up. You're taking this much too seriously.

Phily_Phan did nothing wrong. the answer is no; no explanation needed.

Come on now: no one likes to be told to "lighten up."

Play nice.

Phily_Phan did nothing wrong.

Agreed. This is a tech support forum, not email and not Facebook. Relax.

If you are looking for finer control on the iPad and better a clearer view of the display, take a look at the following video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHhB2BF5yQM&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Please provide a link to this specific device. I find no iPad mouse on Logitech's website. Only the Logitech Touch Mouse Server, which does NOT add a mouse to the iPad, but turns your iPad or iPhone into a mouse. (Technically a trackpad.)

So I did not ask "why". I asked "where".

sorry, i went back and checked. the mouse had a typo saying it was for ipad. it is actually for android

I am interested in the "Logitech bluetooth iPad 2 mouse" as well 😝
