Is this mouse compatible with an iPad? I'm a total novice who just bought an iPad Retina. I'd like a reliable mouse that's not too expensive.

i think it is because you only need. a bluetooth conection i use it with both my galaxy s2 and galaxy tab

Yes this is the best low cost bluetooth wirelss and I am happy with purchase and definatley recommend this product for your ipad.

I would assume it would work with most Bluetooth devices. It worked with my Samsung Galaxy Tab and according to Apple, they are almost the same thing ;-).

It wont work with iPad 3 and 4 out of the box, and possibly not at all. It is difficult to get a mouse working with iPad. You may be able to buy some apps that can handle it, but I wouldn't bet money on it. iPad does not have built in mouse support from what I understand.

James, I did some more research just to make sure and no, the iPad does not work with a mouse unless you're willing to jailbreak it. My best answer is to invest in a Logitech keyboard made for the iPad. It gives you cursor control in text documents and allows you to move back and forth in the Springboard and dedicated buttons for things like search.Let me know if you have any other questions.

I think the answer to that depends on what tablet. I believe I read somewhere that iPads won't work with a mouse but I don't own one so I can't verify. I do have a 7" Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 Android 4.0 tablet (might be 4.1, I forget) and I'll give it a try tonight and update this to let you know if the mouse works with the tablet too.

No. You cannot scroll with this mouse. I wrote this review during my PC/Windows days. Now that I use a Mac, I am hooked on their touch pad scrolling. So, if you're a Mac user, this mouse is irrelevant. If you're a PC user, and scrolling is important for you, then this mouse is not it.

It will NOT work with an iPad...they are not designed to use a mouse, even a Bluetooth one...

I wouldn't recommend anything as a replacement mouse. I grew up on desktops, and I have had a very unpleasing experience with trackpads when it comes to navigation. Even if you are just doing things like facebook, I would recommend getting a mouse.

No, unless the iPad has a USB port, which I don't think they do. You may be able to get an adapter or something that plugs into the power port. This mouse doesn't have bluetooth, so you can't connect that either way.

I was wondering about using on the left hand? I use a regular mouse now on the left hand, any reason why it wouldn't work? Also anchored models or similar makes? Thanks for the help. Just my left elbow bothers me with the regular mouse.

The trackpad does not work for iDevices. The laser pointer shines on ipads just fine. Though I'm not sure why you would ask about that.

Not sure about that, but I have since placed this mouse aside as a back up since it is cumbersome to use with an IMac. I went back to using my wireless mouse from Apple.

It seems to be otherwise identical. I use it with a PC and it works like a charm! Highly recommended. You do not need an IPad to get ful functionality. Actuallu it is even officially described (somewhere :) ) IPad connectivity is/was a marketing main point fotr this device but in practice is an equal option to present USB connection. So you may use it as a standard USB interface as I do as I do not have an IPad.

Wish I could answer this but if you're considering buying this mouse do so. Mines has worked flawlessly since day 1. No issues whatsoever

I don't think it is compatible with anything...the one I got did not work at all!!! I sent it right back. Spend $20 more and get a good Microsoft or Logitech mouse. That is what I did.

I was not able at all to connect the mouse to my Mac Air laptop. I returned it to Amazon. I do not know if it will work on the iPad or any other Mac product, as I do not own an iPad anymore. I now own a Windows 8 table instead.

No, as far as I know the iPad has no support for mice at all and certainly not third party. It is strictly touch based/arcade input for certain games.

I Have Mac osx leopard and whatever my daughter does to keep it updated. The mouse does every thing I want it to and the side buttons seem to work fine. One changes the size of your screen and I don't use them anyway. I really like the mouse. I'm just not that computer savvy so this might not help.

This presentation control is designed to connect to a device using the Bluetooth Mouse HID, so devices see it as a mouse. Apple doesn't want you to connect a mouse to your iPhone or iPad so their Bluetooth drivers don't include the Mouse HID profile, so this device won't work with any iPad or iPhone. I tested it with the new iPad air hoping Apple had come around, but still same story: doesn't work. I've also tested it with a lot of Android tablets an even phones and it works with all of them as Android does include a Mouse HID profile on its bluetooth drivers. So they key is to connect it to a device that has a Bluetooth Mouse HID profile like most Macs, PCs and Android phones.
