Mouse support for iPad pro
Will the iPad Pro have mouse support?
Something I would love to see and heard months back it might support, b
iPad, iOS 9.1
There is no mouse support for an iPad, nor is there ever likely to be.
Question marked as
Which will not work with Apple apps. See this from their FAQ list: Apple does not provide native mouse support for iOS. The Citrix X1 Mouse communicates directly with Citrix Receiver as opposed to communicating with iOS. Citrix X1 Mouse and Citrix Receiver utilize Apple’s publically supported APIs to establish the Bluetooth communication (BLE) between the X1 Mouse and Citrix Receiver. The mouse functionality is only available on XenApp and XenDesktop hosted apps and desktops and Citrix ShareConnect, ShareConnect and GoToMyPC mobile apps, the mouse will not function for other iOS apps. The mouse can also be used on a non-iOS device, in which case the X1 Mouse behaves just like a standard Bluetooth 4.0 mouse.

Yes, it's been such a dismal failure so far.
Ask Apple, we do not agree with you.
IMO, whatever your opinion, its not relevant to this discussion.
Don't get excited about the name. Typically, the name is decided by marketing folks minutes before the is announced.

Did you submit this feedback to Apple?
Me too. I use the iPad to connect remotely to my Microsoft Windows workstation at my office. That's why I need a mouse.
If you don't want to use a mouse with your iPad, then don't.
I am pretty sure that decision has already been made.
If you want to use a mouse get a MacBook instead of an iPad. The iPad is design for touch and the MacBook is designed for using a mouse.
Always best to get the correct tool for the job at hand.
Seven years and counting, STILL no mouse support for iPads.
Not going to happen anytime soon.
iOS remains a touch only interface OS.
The reason that iOS has no mouse support is that Apple does not want you to use a mouse with your iPad. Number one will not change until number two does. Don't hold your breath.
Why does not matter, "you can't" is the important part.
Jeesh... pardon my one finger typos.
Probably he is the type of handy man who sees everything as nail because he has a hammer.
Ahh, the old 'I have a hammer' problem, now I understand the issue.
Can you think of any other reason why someone with a giant iPhone would think that they had a computer?
