iOS 13 and Bluetooth Mouse

iPad OS v 13.4 now includes full support for a Bluetooth Mouse. Just pair it in Settings - Bluetooth.

For older versions, it is also possible to use a normal Bluetooth mouse with most applications. Only limitation is the right click key, which cannot be used.

On the iPad/iphone running OS 13 or better, select Settings - Accessibility - Touch - AssistiveTouch

Do not enable AssistiveTouch yet. Maybe there is a bug here, I could not pair, if it was enabled

In section Pointer devices, select Devices

Select Bluetooth Devices, and the iPad will search for devices

Enable pairing on the Bluetooth mouse

The mouse will connect, some Apple Mouse devices require a pin. Use 0000

Enable AssistiveTouch , and the cursor should show as a very big dark dot.

If above fails, reboot the iPad/iPhone, and make sure your mouse is not already paired with another device.
