[OT] Are you using Trackpad/Mouse with your iPad?

Hey everyone, I wonder how many people are using Mouse or Trackpad with their iPad, or are you consider using one? Also, what is your experience with them in audio apps, any ideas for better experiences?

    Man, I literally bought my first mouse for iPad like 3 hours ago. First impressions are good. Copy/paste of text is much smoother. It’s great for screen recording tutorials. It can be nice for when I’m sitting back a bit further from my iPad too. The only thing that’d make it better is if the mouse had some buttons with assignable shortcuts, that would be amazing, but alas.

    Edit: also, mine has a scroll wheel. Not very smooth or quick compared to swiping actually. I think a trackpad or the Magic Mouse (or whatever apple calls it) would be better for gesture based IOS stuff.

    I’m using a Logitech BT combo. I love it, been about a week now. Apps that support the keyboard proper have been great (Cubasis, GarageBand, Terraria, XCOM2). Overall I’m finding it a much better experience, selection easier, typing obviously way easier. The apps that have keyboard shortcuts have been awesome.

    @aleyas you can define shortcuts you have to turn on Assistive Touch under Accessibility. Then I think Pointer Devices > Devices > pick your mouse and then in there you can bind mouse buttons to actions. It’s a little hoop jumpy, I always forget how to get there, but I bound a side button to home which has been incredibly handy for app switching / closing etc.

    The downside is that I always have the assistive touch circle up lol... but if I can have bound buttons it’s worth it.

    I’ll look into that asap! Mine has two side buttons and a little center button. Would be awesome if I could assign it to close tab, open task bar, or go to home screen or something.

  • Been thinking of maybe getting a trackpad just for using Teamviewer on iPad but haven't bit as I don't want any surprises. If anyone has done it I would love to know!

  • All my super expensive gaming mice work like shit all not precise and super fast, my china shop 2 euros mouse works like charm.
    So my advise is: don’t use gaming mice with Ipd the don’t work😇

    lol it's not like a pc-level precise pointer by design anyways. Check out this video by apple devs who invented the iPadOS pointer:
    https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2020/10640/

    Audio apps on desktop and iPad have the same UI components, like knobs, faders, switches, menus etc, stuff we already very familiar with and using everyday. However the desktop pointer and iPad pointer are very different in experience because of the nature of the devices. I think we are in between a very sweet spot where touch-based devices like iPad and traditional stuff like pc is going to meet. As the first people who are experiencing/using/developing those kind of tech/experience, I'd like to hear any input from you as a dev :)

    what should we change, what if the pc's in the 90s had touch screens, what did they do good or bad 30 years ago, how can we change it or make it better, stuff like that :smiley:
