Baby steps, my friend. Baby steps

Well, you can change the color and make the pointer MUCH bigger. So there is that, at least.

I just went out and bought a Magic Mouse 2 yesterday for my iPad. I had the MM1 and loved it but it got dropped.
I can't for the life of me get it to work on the iPad. There doesn't seem to be a way to get it in discovery mode.
I've read online that no one can get it to work but also read others have it working.
Anyone here successful? I don't want to return but can't justify it if it doesn't work.
I have successfully paired a Logitech MX Master and a Microsoft Surface Wedge mouse.
The Wedge mouse is pretty awesome since the touch scroll works on the iPad.

I have not tried the Magic Mouse 2, only the Apple Magic Mouse (1?) and it worked successfully. As displayed in the pic included earlier.

anyone have the beta installed and MS Remote Desktop that can try that combo out?

I have tried! The mouse works well with Microsoft rdp, but there are few things you need to aware:

1. This is Just a assistant touch more than a mouse pointer.
2. Thats why mouse wheel scrolling is not working. You need to scroll with left click dragging the page (just like using your finger).
3. You cannot right click to open the menu in desktop. You can only open the menu by long pressing the left click. (just like windows tablet mode)

Anyway the mouse is very accurate. I think it still work fine if you accept the above issues.

People asked for mouse support and Apple gave that that. Just the Apple version.

I'm on developer beta 3, and the mouse scroll wheel is now working throughout the OS (wasn't working on Beta 2).
