You can use a mouse or trackpad with the Remote Desktop client. However, support for these devices depends on whether you're using iOS or iPadOS. iPadOS natively supports a mouse and trackpad as an input method, whereas support can only be enabled in iOS with *AssistiveTouch*. For more information, see [Connect a Bluetooth mouse or trackpad to your iPad](https://support.apple.com/HT211009) or [How to use a pointer device with AssistiveTouch on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch](https://support.apple.com/HT210546).

On iOS, the only native support for a mouse and trackpad is through *AssistiveTouch*. AssistiveTouch provides a cursor emulating touch input, so it doesn't support right-click actions or external monitor support, so we don't recommend using it with the Remote Desktop app. For iPhone users projecting a remote session to a larger external monitor, we recommend the following options:
207
+
208
+
1. Use the Remote Desktop app as touchpad, where the iPhone itself can serve as a touchpad for the remote session. The app will automatically convert to a touchpad once connected to external monitor.
209
+
210
+
1. Use a bluetooth mouse from the SwiftPoint PenGrip Models, which are compatible with the Remote Desktop app. The following models are supported:
211
+
212
+
- Swiftpoint ProPoint
213
+
- Swiftpoint PadPoint
214
+
- SwiftPoint GT
215
+

In order to benefit from the Swiftpoint integration, you must connect a Swiftpoint mouse to your iPhone and in the Remote Desktop app:
217
+
218
+
1. Put the mouse in pairing mode for bluetooth.
219
+
220
+
1. Open the **Settings** app on your iPhone, then select **Bluetooth**.
221
+
222
+
1. The mouse should be listed under **Other devices**. Tap the name of the mouse to pair it.
223
+
224
+
1. Open the **RD Client** application on your device.
225
+
226
+
1. In the top left-hand corner, tap the menu icon (the circle with three dots inside), then tap **Settings**.
227
+
228
+
1. Tap **Input Devices**, then in the list of the devices, tap the name of the Swiftpoint mouse you want to use.
229
+
230
+
1. Tap the back arrow (**<**), then tap the **X** mark. You're ready to connect to a remote session and use the Swiftpoint mouse.
