This video shows how I made my iPad into a desktop computer or better yet how you can use both a Bluetooth keyboard and Bluetooth mouse with your iPad.
The only issue that I had is that I had to star the mouse first and then the keyboard. If I did it the other way around, it would not work.
You might be thinking why would you want to take the anti-desktop Apple iPad and make it like a desktop. Well, for the same reasons some people choose to dock a laptop to a full keyboard, mouse and montor - because there are times that you need to do so.
You may never have a need to do so, but if the need arises you will now know it is possible.
Here is what i used:
Hardware
Software
This answers the question: Can I use both a Bluetooth keyboard and a Bluetooth mouse with the Apple iPad?
Note: Other videos say Bluetooth Keyboard in description but uses Apple keyboard dock which is not Bluetooth.
