Are you getting overwhelmed by the number of choices available for Bluetooth mice? We’ve prepared a list of the best Bluetooth mouses compatible with an iPad that will help you through.

1. Logitech MX Master 3 (Best Premium Mouse for iPad)

Price: $99.99

With Logitech’s MX Master 3, you can use a mouse that would perfectly fit into your palm. Its design is unique and made to fit the human hand with comfort, and the mouse is also sensitive and will on most surfaces. So, you need not worry too much about your table not being the perfect workplace with your mouse.

However, one thing to point out is that you may not be able to make the most of its features on your iPad. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t an excellent pairing for your iPad. It works smoothly with iPads and has shortcuts to swap between different apps. All these things make it one of the best premium mouses and one of our favorites.

2. Logitech POP Mouse (Best Compact iPad Mouse)

Price: $40

If you’re looking for a simple mouse to make your working on iPad easier, Logitech POP Mouse will make a great pick. There is no way to hate this mouse, and it’s small, fast, does its job well, and of course, it pops out.

With a range of joyful colors, Logitech POP Mouse, in their own words, doesn’t just look good but feels good too. With a remarkable ergonomic shape, you can use it with comfort. Its SmartWheel will let you adjust the speed of scrolling too. So, you can scroll faster through long pages that you want to skim through and scroll slowly through pages you want to focus on.

The highlight, however, is the top button. You can specify shortcuts for this button and use it, and you can even use it to send your favorite emoji through it with a quick tap. All these features make it a good buy.

Price: $29.99

Looking for a mouse that would be comfortable to use and durable? Try looking into this Metal Mouse. Its precision and intelligent sensors make it a perfect pair to do all sorts of data entry tasks. It is also super easy to connect it with your iPad.

The design of this mouse is quite a deal too, and the claim is that it perfectly fits in the hands of both- right-handed and left-handed people. The mouse’s battery life is also impressive and tends to last for a week too. Overall, this is a good purchase.

4. Microsoft Surface Arc Mouse (Best Ergonomic iPad Mouse)

Price: $49.99

This mouse is nothing but an ergonomic wonder. Its unique design makes it an exciting choice, but it’s not just about the looks. It’s slim, lightweight, and can snap to make itself flat, making it very easy to transport. It is the perfect pick if you travel often. Also, with this, you can scroll horizontally and vertically.

Another claim is that the battery life could last for months! It looks minimalistic, is sensitive to touch, and will quickly fit in your hands. It keeps up to be the best ergonomic iPad Mouse available. However, it is a bit small and not as comfortable if you have large hands like me.

Best trackpad for iPad

Trackpads help you move the pointer by monitoring your gestures on its surface. For some, it may make a more comfortable than a mouse. In case you are looking in it as well, below are the best trackpads to pair with your iPad –

1. Apple Magic Trackpad 2 (Best Official iPad Trackpad)

Price: $129

Since this is a trackpad offered by Apple itself, there is no doubt it would naturally make a good pair for your iPad. It has a built-in battery and works smoothly. If you’re using some creative apps like Garage Band, this Trackpad might make things easier.

Like most trackpads, it requires some open space to be used to its fullest due to its relatively big size. But you can get used to it in minutes.

2. Brydge W-Touch (Best Multi-Platform Trackpad for iPad)

Price: $99.99

Brydge W-Touch is described as an ‘Oversized Touchpad,’ implying that it may cover more areas than your regular Trackpad. You can easily use different gestures to perform various tasks like zooming in and out, selecting, etc. You need not worry about the quality of this one because it has been allegedly designed to meet the quality standards set by Microsoft.

However, some issues may arise considering how the focal idea of making it mostly revolved around making it a perfect pair for a PC over iPads. But I had no issues using it on my iPad.

3. Apple Magic Keyboard (Best iPad Keyboard with Trackpad)

Price: $94.99

Want a keyboard and a trackpad for your iPad? Look no more. Apple Magic Keyboard would make the perfect pair in this situation. It comes with backlit keys with front and back protection, and of course, you would have a trackpad for navigation.

Since this was designed to fit iPads, you will have no trouble pairing it. It will effectively turn your iPad into a mini-Mac whenever you want it to. The keyboard will attach itself comfortably to your iPad, giving you the best working experience.

4. Logitech K830 (Best Full-Sized iPad Keyboard)

Price: $129.95

If you’re looking for a full-sized keyboard with a trackpad, this is one of the best options available to you. With a full keyboard in hand, you can perform many functions like managing the volume and brightness with just the keys. The keys also have lighting so you can use them at night.

So if you’re not the one to prefer a mouse, this would be a great choice. But in case you’re looking for a full-sized trackpad, then it is best to consider the first two options as mentioned.
