Now I could see if you're setting up your iPad and you've got a bluetooth keyboard and you want to have a mouse there and you just want to be in an app and do some writing. That's why it's all hidden down in the Accessibility features and why it may not be the ideal way to use an iPad. So it's meant for people who may not be able to touch the screen or have difficulty doing that and have a much easier time using a pointing device. This really isn't meant for people that would just prefer to use a mouse rather than touching the iPad screen. So you can adjust it depending upon the size of your iPad screen, sensitivity of your mouse, and how you like things. Also you can control the speed of the mouse movement so you can make it fly across the screen with a slight touch of the mouse or move slowly and deliberately. That way you can get it out of the way if you're watching video and such. You also have the ability to change this cursor size and color and have it fade away after a few seconds until you move the mouse again. There you can look at the menu and you can pick one and customize its function. All you need to do is go back into Settings. You can use it for things like going Home, bringing up the Control Center, etc. I'm using the right click but you also can click that button that's at the bottom right hand corner of your screen and it will bring it up there as well.

Except you do have trouble when you want to do something like go Home you have to learn how to use that special menu. It works just like you would expect it would. I can click on links just like you would like if you were using a Mac. So here I'm going to launch Safari and then I can scroll in Safari not with two fingers on the mouse like you might think, but by clicking and dragging.
The menu is how you access special functions that would be hard to get to otherwise. The right click was configured to bring up the menu. I was able to tap on menus and buttons and do things. Now my mouse was automatically configured so a left click was basically the same as a tap. It's a circle with a dot in the middle of it and move around the screen. Now you'll be able to move your mouse and see a cursor. Once you've got that connected then you need to go back up and turn on Assistive Touch to get it going. It should work with most bluetooth mice also. I'm using an older Apple bluetooth mouse. Then go to Devices and add your bluetooth mouse. So to setup your mouse go to Settings, then Accessibility, then Touch, then Assistive Touch. You get a cursor and you can drag that around and you can click to tap. So instead of tapping and dragging all around with your finger on the iPad screen you can use a mouse.
So iPadOS, also known as iOS 13 for iPad, has a great new feature where you can connect a Bluetooth Mouse to your iPad and then use that as a pointing device. MacMost is brought to you thanks to a great group of supporters. On this episode let me show you how you can control your iPad using a mouse. Video Transcript: Hi, this is Gary with.
