How to use a Magic Mouse with an iPad
Brandon Davenport
Whoa, wait what!? You can use a Magic Mouse with an iPad? - Yes, you can, and yes, it is completely mind-blowingly awesome. The iPad sporting gentlemen over at RedmondPie have figured out how to make the Magic Mouse interface with the iPad using an app, and a mouse (but you will need a Jailbroken iPad) - Video and how to after the break!

So, how do you get this working? You will need to Jailbreak your iPad first, and you can find out how to here. Then you need to install BTstack Mouse app from Cydia and once it is installed and running, let the app discover your Bluetooth-capable mouse, which could be a Magic Mouse or any other Bluetooth mouse. RedmondPie tested this method with the Magic Mouse and the Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse 5000.
Apple is ready and set to bring official support for using Bluetooth keyboards in iPhone OS 4 for iPhone, but it now remains to be shown whether such support for Bluetooth mice will also be brought, for iPad, probably not iPhone.
