You can follow these steps to pair a mouse with your jailbroken iPad: If you think that an iPad connected to a Bluetooth keyboard may be better operated using the point-and-click navigation feature offered by a mouse, then we’ve some good news.Ī new jailbreak tweak called BTC Mouse & Trackpad allows you to do just that. While this is a useful add-on for business users, a drawback in using this accessory or any other Bluetooth keyboard, is the touch-screen based navigation on the iPad. For users who are not comfortable using the virtual keyboard while working on documents, Apple offers an iPad Keyboard dock accessory. However, as users have come to realize, it is also a competent device to work on documents using iPad apps such as Pages and Numbers and is also popular with some bloggers. (The plugin also includes ‘experimental enhancement’ for the Jump Desktop VNC client.The iPad is primarily a media consumption device. BTC Mouse & Trackpad includes improved mouse navigation support: mouse scrolling back and forward on the springboard, scroll wheel zooming, and a new swipe emulating presentation mode which can be set per app. To sweeten the deal, Ringwald has added a few extras in his new plugin. If that was all BTC Mouse & Trackpad is capable of, it would be a favorable alternative to BTStack Keyboard (& Mouse). That means you can connect to the internet, use a mouse and keyboard, and listen to music at the same time through your bluetooth connection. Instead of making a new bluetooth stack, Bluetooth Companion allows plugins to extend iOS’ native bluetooth implementation. BTC Mouse & Trackpad takes advantage of another recent utility that Ringwald developed: Bluetooth Companion. Matthias Ringwald, the developer behind the iOS BTStack Mouse and BTStack plugins has released a new tweak on Cydia called BTC Mouse & Trackpad. This means you can’t take advantage of wireless headphones or bluetooth tethering while using a wireless mouse and keyboard.
The problem with the custom BTStack drivers is that they don’t work in tandem with Apple’s default bluetooth drivers – you have to switch between one and the other. Reaching for a touch screen while typing can be awkward, so mouse support is a huge advantage.
If you insist on using a mouse and keyboard with your iPad (or, less likely, your iPhone) you’ve probably heard of BTStack Mouse and BTStack Keyboard.
