How to use economic IT iPad with mouse and trackpad | iPad Hacks

[IPad Hacks_18]

In the iPad, the basic style is to touch and operate the display.However, if you use a mouse or trackpad to operate a personal computer, you can operate it with a "pointer" displayed on the screen.

Here, let's check the basics of using a pointer and customization of related configuration items.

■ How to connect to the device

To use mice and trackpads in the iPad series, the iPad is iPados 13.It must be after 4 or later.Specific devices include iPad Pro, iPad Air 2 or later, iPad (5th generation) or later, and iPad mini 4 or later.

First, about the mouse.Looking at Apple's official help page, there are two main types of mice assumed on the iPad.One is a type of product that can be used by Bluetooth connection, such as the genuine genuine Magic Mouse.The other is a USB mouse that can be connected with a USB cable.

If you use a mouse with Bluetooth connection, first put the mouse switched to pairing mode and place it near the iPad.In that state, open the "Bluetooth" item from the iPadOS standard "Settings" app, select the device you want to use and connect.How to make the device into pairing mode vary from device to determine the description of the instructions.

When the Apple Magic Mouse is paired, it is stated that if a code entry is required, four zero will be entered like "0000".

On the other hand, if you want to connect a USB mouse, connect the iPad and the mouse using an appropriate cable or adapter.It is also possible to support products that are connected using USB receivers.For the connection method, check the manual on the mouse side.

Next, about the trackpad.The Apple's official help page describes how to connect the genuine genuine "Magic TrackPad".First, it was confirmed that the power of the Magic TrackPad was turned on and was charged.Next, select "Bluetooth" from "Settings" on the iPad and select the trackpad displayed on the "Other Device" list.

However, if you have already paired Magic TrackPad on other devices such as Mac, you need to release that pairing and connect to the iPad.By the way, select "Apple Menu (Apple Mark in the upper left)" → "System Environment Settings" → "Bluetooth", and then select the device and click the device while pressing Control key.That is.

On the other hand, if a device that connects using Smart Connector, such as Magic Keyboard for iPad, has a trackpad, no special pairing operation is required.If you attach it to the device, you can use the keyboard and trackpad immediately.

■ Set the speed of the pointer, etc.

When you connect a mouse or trackpad, a pointer is automatically displayed on the iPad screen.

Customize how much the pointer on the screen moves when you move your mouse or finger on the trackpad to perform the pointer operation comfortably.

For example, if the Bluetooth mouse is connected, tap the "Trackpad and Mouse" item in "General" in the "Settings" application.Adjust the slider called "speed of the trajectory".Now you can fine -tune the distance that the pointer moves when the mouse is moved.

▲Bluetoothマウスの接続時には、「一般」に「トラックパッドとマウス」という項目が現れる▲同項目から「軌跡の速さ」「ナチュラルなスクロール」「副ボタンのクリック」という項目を調整できる

On the other hand, in the case of a trackpad, tap the "Trackpad" item in the "General" of the "Settings" application.It is OK if you adjust the slider called "speed of the trajectory".

▲トラックパッドの接続時には、「一般」に「トラックパッド」と表示される▲同欄から「軌跡の速さ」「ナチュラルなスクロール」「タップでクリック」「2本指で副ボタンのクリック」を調整できる

For items that can be customized besides the speed of the trajectory, trackpads and mouse are slightly different.

For example, a trackpad allows you to switch on / off the "natural scrolling" whether you scroll in the direction of your finger when you scroll.Also, if you turn on "Tap with Tap", you will be able to recognize the tap operation on the trackpad.Then, if you turn on "clicking the secondary button with two fingers", the two -finger click will be recognized as the sub -button operation.

On the other hand, there is a "natural scroll" on / off switching settings for the mouse.In addition, in the characteristic part, you can specify which button on the left or right of the mouse will be treated as the secondary button by "clicking a sub -button".

By the way, it is important to remember that if you click while holding down the "Control" key, it will be a sub -button click operation.

In connection with the operation to change the appearance of the pointer.Tap "Accessibility" → "Point Control" from the "Settings" app.You can change the size by adjusting the "pointer size" slider here.

Also, turn on "Increase the contrast" will reduce the transparency of the pointer.From the "color" column, it is also possible to change the color of the pointer and the color of the center.Furthermore, if the "hide pointer" is turned on, you can adjust the time to display the pointer even when you are not operating.

■ Convenient operation with pointer

When using a pointer, what you want to remember as a distinctive operation method is to "move the pointer outside the screen with a pointer on the edge of the screen."This is mainly divided into five actions depending on where you do it.

The first is the display of the "Notification Center".Apply a pointer to the top of the screen (other than the right end) and move it up further.

The second is the "Control Center" display.The same operation is performed in the area where the battery remaining on the right end of the screen is displayed.

The third is the operation of moving further down at the home indicator bar at the center of the screen.This will return to the home screen.

The fourth is the operation that moves further down outside the center at the bottom of the screen.The dock is displayed.

▲何らかのアプリを起動した状態で、オレンジまたは青の部分にポインタを置き、さらに下に向かって移動させる▲先の画面のオレンジ部分で動かした場合には、ホーム画面に戻る▲同様に先の画面の青の部分で動かした場合には、ドックが表示される

The fifth is the operation of moving the right end of the screen to the right.You can redeemed the minimized Slide over window outside the screen.

▲Slide Overを最小化させた側面にポインタを置き、さらに外側に移動させる▲最小化させていたSlide Overが表示される

***

When operating an iPad on a PC rike, the use of mouse and trackpad is essential.Even if you have a lot of peripheral devices, you don't want to do it after all.Be sure to know how to reproduce the same operation as your usual touch operation without touch.
