Hello! Is anyone using a mouse or trackpad with LR Mobile on an iPad? Which do you prefer? Any gotchas or lessons learned? Thanks! Charlie

I have an iPadPro with the Apple keyboard and included track pad. I use a track pad exclusively preferred on my iMac and find the Magic Mouse to be more difficult and usually a reach to grab.

That said, on the iPadPro, I rarely use the track pad in Lightroom and never the pencil even though I have both. Instead I almost always use the "Mark 1" finger leaving prints all over my screen.

Like Cletus I have an iPad Pro with an Apple keyboard including a trackpad. In LR I rarely use the trackpad but (unlike Cletus!) I do use the Apple Pencil a great deal. Doesn’t stop getting fingerprints all over the screen though ;-).

On my iMac I have both a Magic Mouse and a trackpad, but tend to use the mouse more tHan the track pad. I sometimes wish I had a Wacom or similar pad to use with the iMac as I find using the Apple Pencil very easy on the iPad.

Horses for Courses I guess.
