Bluetooth Mouse turns your iPhone or iPad into a direct Bluetooth Low Energy mouse and keyboard for compatible computers and tablets. DIRECT BLUETOOTH CONTROL Pair from the device you want to control. No Wi-Fi, receiver app, or cloud account is required. TRACKPAD AND KEYBOARD Move the pointer with one finger, scroll with two, tap to click, and adjust gestures, speed, acceleration, and precision. Type with your on-screen keyboard, shortcut keys, and navigation controls. PAIR WITH A COMPATIBLE HOST Connect to a compatible computer or tablet with Bluetooth Low Energy HID support. Start pairing in the receiving device’s Bluetooth or pointer-device settings, then approve it in the app. Discovery labels and reconnection behavior depend partly on the receiving device. PERSONALIZE YOUR CONTROL Choose light or dark appearances, accent colors, surface textures, scrolling behavior, haptics, keyboard layout, and responsiveness settings. FREE AND PRO Core mouse and keyboard control is free. Bluetooth Mouse Pro unlocks multiple approved devices, every accent and surface texture, Mouse Jiggler, and complete responsiveness controls. Choose Monthly Pro or Annual Pro; both are auto-renewing subscriptions and unlock the same features. Annual Pro is billed once per year. Manage or cancel renewal in Apple Account subscription settings. Mouse Jiggler sends movement only, never clicks, and runs only while the app is open, active, connected, and Pro is available. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No advertising or analytics SDKs, no cloud account, and no typed-text history. Mouse and keyboard input is processed on your device and sent directly to the host you approve.
