I Would like to use a mouse with my new iPad pro
The iPad Pro doesn't work with a mouse, like a computer. Not clear what you mean by using the pencil "as my mouse."

All iPads (including the iPad Pro) are designed to work well using your finger(s) to control it.

Remember, the Pencil works only with the iPad Pro - no other iPad models or iOS devices.

Nov 21, 2015 10:41 PM in response to builderbob66by bobseufert,You're welcome. I know there are other keyboards you can use. I'd ask at the Apple Store exactly which ones are compatable.
After two and a half years with a iPad I don't see the need for an external keyboard. I was going to buy a keyboard when I first got m iPad then decided to wait one month before getting it. Needless to say I never went back for the keyboard.

Nov 21, 2015 10:49 PM in response to bobseufertby builderbob66,OK - but what about typing things like longer emails or a document etc. I also want to get a website app so I can build a website - so I thought a keyboard would be easier for writing text - and or doing a blog etc ? ( your thoughts ) ?

Nov 21, 2015 10:59 PM in response to builderbob66by bobseufert,If I was going to do the amount of typing you mentioned I'd see if I could pair a full size keyboard with the Pro. I only tried the Pro once and it seemed the keyboard is closer in size to a laptop which I don't care for then a full size keyboard.

Nov 21, 2015 11:13 PM in response to builderbob66by sberman,If I were going to do lots of typing, I would use the iPad's dictation feature. I suggest you learn about it and consider it.
