Is there a mouse function on the keyboard or do I have to still touch the ipad screen?

The model I have does not have a mouse. Have to use the iPad screen. Don't know about the current models. Mine is three years old.

Yes, you can type on the keyboard when both are laid out flat. There is no special position that the iPad have to be in in order for you to use the keyboard.

Yes it does. I have a PC and an iPad. It does have control and alt keys. However, it is not fully compatible with PC.

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.

Yes, used it the other day. On the screen will pop up keyboard preferences. Just click out of that and it works fine.

i use the arrow keys mostly. Trackball you would probably need to use arrow buttons in on the screen.

Its NOT a touchscreen, its a touch pad. If you don't like the pad, you can hook up a USB mouse, or whatever.

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.

No its not a touch screen. I dont use the touch pad as much, I'm a gamer so I use a FPS Mouse. But when I do use the mouse it functions and moves smoothly and properly. Its very slow on normal settings to me.

As far as I know, iOS doesn't provide mouse compatibility. I have used it with no problems with my Galaxy Note but it runs Android, which has mouse compatibility. I believe that you can only pair bluetooth keyboards to iOS devices, including your iPad.

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.

Yes, it has, by means of two-finger click, as on Mac and some other touchpads. It's pretty nice in many ways, but I was hoping to use it to control my media center computer, and most scrolling and selecting is done by arrow keys. This has arrow keys, but they are alternate keys, which means you have to tap Fn and then tap Arrow. For scrolling down a list, having to do that for each press of the arrow was pretty much a deal-breaker. There is space on the device to the left of the keys, but that is not the touchpad. The entire device is a touchpad, and you switch between mouse and keyboard modes with a little button at the top left.

Not sure-haven't used the keyboard in quite some time-but I believe I used the tablet's touch screen and only used the keyboard to type text

No mouse. You still have to use your finger to touch the screen to move your cursor.

I don't think you would need a mouse. My son is using his keyboard with a touch screen tablet.

Yes but not sure how. Go to search or help and put in disable touch pad. It should tell you how. I too use a mouse but have not disabled my touch pad either.

Yes, but since I have an Ipad 1st Gen and only goes to os 5.11, I had to use a third party app. "Bt Mouse". Once installed both keyboard and mouse works perfectly.
