Use mouse on ipad?

[sn4ke]

I am glad I found this thread as I am considering the magic mouse for some occasions.

Do gestures work with the ipad?

Also, what is the battery life like?
Thanks,
G

Single finger gestures work with Magic Mouse. I used my iPad3 for more than
8 hours, with both mouse and keyboard connected via Bluetooth. I still had 30% battery left.

Nope. At this moment, cursor devices like mice and trackpads don't work on the iPad. Only the keyboard works with it.

They do on a jailbroken iPad.Check out this thread.

The only gesture I was able to do was the scroll up or down. Were you able to get others working??

Not sure about that yet, as I have only been using the mouse for 2 days. I'll monitor it and provide info after a week or so.

Any one-finger gestures that you define in Activator will work with the magic mouse.

How do you get scrolling to work?

 

[dstuttgen]

Sorry, that only works on my Windows 7. I can double right click to raise the multitask bar, single right click is set for home button. Left click is for selecting and that's all I have for now. I WISH I could scroll.

Cheers, Dan

Ah thanks.

 

[dstuttgen]

Ah thanks.

Go to the devs website and vote for th scrolling option. Maybe he'll work on it next.

Cheers, Dan

Can you use a touch pad? I have my iPad 1 set up c/ a ZAGG Bluetooth keyboard, and in that laptop type configuration, it is awkward touching the screen to move around.

Hi! Thanks for all the help here... i have the same question, my BT wireless keyboard has a trackpad built in, and i can't get it to work with BTstack mouse... the keyboard works great on my IPAD2 though. Any suggestions on how to get the trackpad to work also?

Trackpad doesn't work at the moment. You need to use your mouse the way you used to before the invention of trackpads and gestures, i.e. click the mouse and scroll. Old school!

After using the mouse extensively with the iPad for the past two weeks, when I connected it to my MacBook Pro, it indicated the battery level as 76%. I estimate that the batteries will need replacing after 7 or 8 weeks. Not bad.

Thanks -I eventually bought it. It works very well, but I would love it to scroll.

Also, did you get the mid button to work?
