The idea of putting a cursor on an iPad is as appealing as putting a cursor on Windows 8, it isn’t. It’s not that the product wasn’t executed well, it’s just the idea wasn’t. Honestly, I believe this product should be scraped. Lack of functionality in the whole experience Cursor lags and only provides minor functions Concept of a cursor just doesn’t work on an iPad Transport of too many things makes the concept lack portability Poor man’s laptop (with limited functionality), works well with some jailbreak themes The concept, however, is flawed and that’s because the cursor is not meant to be on the iPad.

The product itself isn’t necessarily flawed, the settings that comes with it is easy to work with and you have the option of using any bluetooth device you choose. The iPad isn’t made to have a cursor, it’s OS just doesn’t work well with a cursor.
However, even then, it still isn’t the same as a computer.

In addition, there are bluetooth cases that make the iPad look like a MacBook, which even further the Mac look. A theme that I have reviewed for the iPad, the OS X Pad theme, is a perfect companion for this device as the cursor the tweak provides is a Mac cursor.
#BTC MOUSE AND TRACKPAD MAGIC MOUSE PORTABLE#
It is portable enough, nothing like a laptop and it requires more real estate in your backpack but it is doable. If you want to make a cheap man’s portable computer, this is definitely a way to do it. However, the product isn’t all bad either. It can not rotate objects, it can not move objects, it can not act like a cursor on the computer in most ways. On top of that, the mouse only provides basic functions. Another issue I have is that the cursor does seem to lag a bit.
#BTC MOUSE AND TRACKPAD MAGIC MOUSE VERIFICATION#
They just don’t go together, iOS is made for fingers not a mouse, using this tweak is a verification of that. In addition, a cursor on iOS works similar to a cursor on Windows 8, it doesn’t work. Lack of portability is certainly a practicality issue. Even keyboard cases are not good because of the thickness they require. I have never been a fan of using a bluetooth keyboard on an iPad because of the lack of portability. Therefore, if you wanted to avoid this big burden, you would need to spend extra money to buy a keyboard and mouse/trackpad. In addition, if you wanted to use it a lot like that, you would need to probably buy an additional trackpad/mouse and keyboard, because the ones you have for your computer currently are either USB driven or you want dedicated to the computer and it would be a pain disconnecting the devices from your computer, connecting them to your iOS device then disconnecting them from the iOS device and then connect them again to the computer, every time you want to switch from a computer and back. Some already carry around a keyboard, which I think is bulky enough to carry around, but a trackpad/mouse adds on to that. First off, if you want to seriously use a trackpad and keyboard with an iPad, those are additional things you will need to carry around. After having tried it, I am not sure if I see the functionality in using it.
The ability to add a cursor on an iPad screen has been an interesting thought of mine that I had before I knew that the product existed on the market. Let’s take a look at the functionality of this tweak, which has a bit more to talk about then the form of he product. As for the form of the hardware, since it can run any bluetooth keyboard, mouse/trackpad, the hardware is only as good as what you own. This comes in handy for something later on down the road. However, I do appreciate them deciding to use a Mac cursor. Of course, since iOS products are Apple products and Macs are Apple products, that makes sense. The cursor used in the tweak looks like a Mac cursor, rather than a Windows cursor. The settings tab in the Settings app of your iOS device for the BTC Mouse and Trackpad is easy to use and navigate.
There is not much to say about the form of this product. The BTC Mouse and Trackpad tweak is available on the Cydia store for $4.99. With this product, your iOS device will have a cursor, just like on your computer (of course this is why it is a jailbreak tweak, Apple would never approve of this). That’s right, I did just say mouse and keyboard. The BTC Mouse and Trackpad is a paid jailbreak utility that allows you to pair your iOS device with your bluetooth mouse, trackpad and keyboard.
