Connect a mouse to iPad
You can connect Magic Mouse, another Bluetooth mouse, or a USB mouse to your iPad (iPadOS 13.4 or later).
Note: Mouse devices are available separately. Not all mouse devices are fully compatible with all models of iPad.
Pair Magic Mouse or other Bluetooth mouse
For Magic Mouse, make sure the mouse is turned on and charged.
For any other Bluetooth mouse, follow the instructions that came with the mouse to put it in discovery mode.
On iPad, go to Settings > Bluetooth, then turn on Bluetooth.
Select the device when it appears in the Other Devices list.
If you’re asked for a PIN when you pair Magic Mouse, type “0000” (four zeros), then tap Pair.
Note: If the mouse is already paired with your Mac or another iPad, you must unpair them before you can connect the mouse to your iPad. For iPad, see unpair a Bluetooth device. On Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences > Bluetooth, select the device, then Control-click its name.
Reconnect a Bluetooth mouse to iPad
The mouse disconnects when you turn the switch on the mouse to Off or when you move the mouse or iPad out of Bluetooth range—about 33 feet (10 meters).
To reconnect, turn the mouse switch to On, or bring the mouse and iPad back into range, then click the mouse.
Connect a USB mouse
With the appropriate cable or adapters, you can connect various third-party mouse devices with iPad using USB and USB-based receivers. Refer to the device manufacturer’s instructions.
