iPad Pro Anyone else want a Mouse?

[JerryMBPR]

Am I the only one who wants a wireless mouse for the iPad Pro?

I got the Logitech backlit Keyboard Case and I like it but when using a spreadsheet I really miss not having a mouse with the iPad Pro.

Does anyone make a iPad Pro compatible mouse that works with Office 365?

Thanks,

Jerry

Hey, I have the same setup, what do you think of the keyboard?
Whilst i agree it would be handy and i do sometime find myself reaching for a trackpad, having a mouse defeats the purpose of it being an iPad.

iOS doesn't support pointing devices like a mouse or a track-pad. Would be nice to have the option. The "virtual" touchpad in iOS9 (where you use two fingers on the on-screen keyboard) helps a little, but that doesn't help when you're using a hardware keyboard.

I don't see the point of a keyboard without a mouse. I don't want to pick up and touch the screen everytime I need to change columns or do something besides type text. So I do want a mouse.

This is why tablets and laptops have not, and will not merge successfully like so many people suggest. If you need to actually do work that involves typing or fine-scale (mouse) pointing, then you need a laptop. If you want to browse the web on a small, light, portable device that has exceptional battery life and all applications that you need lend themselves to touch, then you need a tablet. They are two different tools and trying to combine them results in a device that does in less effective in both roles. No, Microsoft's surface does not accomplish this well. It's a good laptop, but not a good tablet.

Luckily, Apple seems to get this and has not yet attempted to combine the two form factors that should not be combined.

I have a Citrix mouse that works in receiver whilst remoting into my work PCs, would be awesome if MS and Citrix worked together to get that going in office 365

I certainly wouldn't mind mouse comparability. On another note...I also wouldn't mind having a black or silver Apple Pencil. I have a slight fear that the white will show marks, dirt, or discolor (i.e. like the older Plastic White MacBooks).

MS Excel seems like it would need a mouse. for most other stuff I'm alright with touching the screen.

What about being able to use the iPhone as a trackpad?
