iPad Pro + Smart Keyboard + jumpdesktop + swiftpoint mouse (or citrix x1 mouse) = no need for laptop

I don't have the 9.7 Pro but use it with Air 2 which is the same size. It's not bad at all and use it for accessing EMR.
Might try and get hold of one of the mice then. I am holding off on the keyboard for now. I have a spare wireless Apple keyboard that has an actual escape key for instance that I think might be better suited. Not as portable but still pretty small to stick in rucksack etc.
Yes an annoying issue. I lose the connection even just for a few minutes if I don't move the mouse.
Yes definitely a problem that I reported back to them months ago. They did correct the problem in their beta...tested it successfully. But they have not released the new app yet for some reason...its been in beta form since April. Here is the release notes:

Version 7.1.3 Build 177
-----------------------

-----------------------
Released April 16th 2016

Awesome. I'll look closely this thread as I'm planning to use this combo for my professional work.
I have a desktop computer I use in my office but I'm travelling a lot / plus work from home when I can.
Still not sure if IPP 12.9 could suit my needs. I already have an Air that I use a lot at home for music, browsing, movies, books... everything. IPP 12.9 seems too big for my consumption uses...
Is there a way to mirror iPad monitor on a bigger screen? That would be awesome when I work from home and still can retain portability.

I just had an extensive Jump Desktop session (from my 12.9 iPP +Citrix X1, to my iMac at my home office) for well over an hour and there was no issues with the mouse dropping. During that time periods of no mouse usage, and so on.
Odd. I'm not complaining, but it is odd.
You can AirPlay it to an AppleTV. I think there were some programs you could buy that lets you AirPlay to Mac or PC -- forget their names, though.

Since upgrading to iOS app 7.1.2 the physical mouse will hang and no longer work after you switch to a another iOS App from Jump Desktop after a period of 10 or so minutes in the background. If you switch from Jump to another iOS App and back Jump for only a few seconds/minutes then this behavior does not occur....it only occurs if you leave Jump Destop connected in the background for a while then the mouse stops working. To get the the mouse operational again you must completely force close Jump App and then reconnect the remote session. I do not recall having this issue on version 7.1 and it only started with the current release.

Another alternative to AirPlay would be wired connection with a Apple Lightning to digital AV Adapter (HDMI) or Apple Lightning to VGA adapter.
has anyone been able to use this for gaming in any capacity? I'd love to get rid of my 15 inch rMBP, but I keep it for the occasional Starcraft 2 DLC content, and sometimes, rarely, WoW. So if I can sell it and get a windows laptop just to remote in and play on it, and keep my apple ecosystem intact, that would be fantastic
I think there's a beta setting they're working on for video and gaming. None of the Remote Desktop solutions I've tried have been close to allowing one to game on them. I've had the same thought (hope) as you though.
Maybe it's out already. Can't test it now but here's what I was talking about.

Thanks for posting this. I've been following this thread, and have been using an iPad Pro as my everyday workhorse. Every now and then, I need something in OS X or Windows on another computer, and this remote access solution works perfectly.
It is a strange mouse, but I kind of like it!
Yes. Jump Desktop supports certain Bluetooth mice for use with their remote desktop software. The iPad recognizes the Citrix X1 and SwiftPoint mice, but the mice are only functional with Jump Desktop. (and probably Citrix's remote desktop software)
It works extremely well.
Ah, I thought I can use mouse with the iPad directly.
Good to know about the Jump Desktop though!
