Mouse support for View on iPad

[AlexJoda]

T‌he only comfortable and productive way to operate a Windows OS remotely is still with a mouse. Since some other iPad remote control solutions supports Bluetooth mice for the iPad (e.g. Citrix with X1 mouse and Jump Desptop with the Swiftpoint mouse, all without jailbreaking) it would be very pleasing to have mouse support for Horizon View too. Although the pencil is now supported it is still worlds apart from using a real mouse. We tried it with Jump Desktop and the X1 mouse at the weekend and is was amazing (although I must say that PCoIP shows a much better remote performance than RDP).

So please support iPad compatible BT mice with the next release. It should not be too difficult after supporting the pencil....

‌Yes! I second this request.  I use Jump to administer hundreds of servers and View stations and love the Citrix X1.  It's a real step backwards when I switch back to the View app for my desktop. My users are very vocal about the inability to use physical mice on their iPads.  Luckily they haven't realized that Jump now supports it (as we switced from RDS to Horizon View for our iPad users about a year ago).

I know this is an old thread, but I've been using the Swiftpoint GT mouse with my iPad Pro for a few months now and its great. Give it a shot!

I had my company buy me this mouse specifically so i could use it on my ipad while in meetings to fully utilize excel... however i cannot get it to work.  any tricks?  I've reached out to both the swiftpoint and VMWare and haven't heard anything back.  I've followed the instructions to pair, verified it works by using it on other devices, but for the life of me I cannot get it to work.
