    Yeah this has no point, why would you connect a mouse to a iPad since you can tap?

    you get bluetooth mouse then install ipad os beta (backup data) now go to Accesibility > AssistiveTouch > turn it on, Create New Gesture.. then tap in the middle then tap done now tap out of Accesibility then go yo bluetooth and pair your mouse and it should connect automatically! Enjoy!

    Apple is doing this to beat the surface.

    You can Acces your iPad Build name like "iPad mini 4" in General> About. When you announce it, i'll decide if it's supported.

    I work for Microcenter. We recently set up an iPad OS mouse display.

    It's awful. Absolutely awful. They do it as an accessibility feature for those who can't touch the screen. Well, there's two problems with that. Problem one: The mouse doesn't work like a mouse, but like a finger touching the screen. So it doesn't do mouse things even remotely properly. Problem two: If you can't touch the screen, chances are you also can't use a mouse, so the whole point becomes mute.

    Android has had support for this for a very long time now (it works well from my experience), and it sounds like iOS still isn't doing it right.
