IPad Gets Mouse Support Thanks to iPadOS

iPadOS - iOS 13 connect mouse

Depending on how you use the iPad, it is likely that on more than one occasion you wish you could interact with the device through a mouse, something that we could previously do thanks to the jailbreak. Fortunately, with the release of iOS 13 and iPadOS, this process will not be necessary.

Apple has introduced with the presentation of iOS 13 and iPadOS, The possibility of control iPad via mouse, a functionality that is not intended for the general public, since like other special functions, it is found within the Accessibility options of the device.

The cursor will not be displayed with the typical date that the mouse is traditionally related to, but instead is a dark gray circle, very similar to the one we can find when we activate Assistive Touch so as not to use the start button of our device, in case it has it (it disappeared with the launch of the iPhone X).

With the mouse connected, not only will we be able to interact with the applications that we have open, but we will also be able to scroll through the different springboards where we have the applications distributed on our iPad.

The mouse, we will be able to connect it through the physical connection of our device or via bluetooth connection. We can configure the mouse so that one of the buttons simulates a pressure and another button simulates the pressure maintained on the screen, since contextual menus have been added when we carry out this action.

The compatibility with the mouse, added to the possibility of opening different windows of the same application and the Exposé function inherited from the Mac, converts, now if, the iPad is the ideal substitute for a laptop to use, as Apple had always stated but had not demonstrated it through specific software.
