I need to use a mouse with my ipad pro. What gives?

I know this has been a question before. Has Apple pulled their head out yet and made it possible to pair a mouse with this thing. I have things to do and little time for what the world will be like in the future. Right now I need a mouse to work with my ipad pro. Or send me some kind of futuristic device that allows me to place my cursor where I want it without having to reach out and touch the **** display everytime i want move something or cut and paste or select an object, etc. The pen has it's moments but touch screens are for drawing not for a replacement to the mouse. I would like a pair of glasses that know exactly what my eyes are looking at within a micron and then when I blink that would place the cursor then I could say "select next word" and it would just do that. You know or,.... maybe for now a mouse....

True...

But for those who want to access computers (MacBooks/iMac/WINDOWS) from the mobile iPad, it works great.

Jump desktop has been an iOS app for years. Paperspace is just a cloud based virtual machine hosting service if someone wants a virtual desktop machine as opposed to their own hardware.

Haven't you heard? Apple knows best!

Your post has been selected as helpful---for all the good it will do. I doubt Apple ever reads these anyways.

I too share the frustration of no mouse functionality, which has led me here. Your response is probably one of the most arrogant I have read.

Perhaps it is time to admit that maybe you have selected the wrong devices if a mouse is that important to you. You know there are devices available that use a mouse?

Allow=256GB on MacPro

Disallow = won’t allow upgrades to MacPro because of limited engineering, stupid removal of necessary features and poor product management leaving upgrades for years

Only if you are trying to do remote tools, like TeamViewer (SwiftX mouse) or Citrix. Then you can use a mouse for everything on the the remote computer with a mouse from your iPad.
