I've got it stuck in a folder on my iPad for now, 'cause I read that the author is working on making more keyboards compatible with the app (it's not the Zaggmate's fault, it's something in how BTstack runs Bluetooth. I can't get the Shift or the CapsLock keys to do their function (I just get symbols as the app tries to tell the keyboard what to do). I don't know personally because although I did buy/download BTstack Keyboard, I can't get it to work properly with my Zaggmate keyboard. Others have said you don't need Backgrounder. I read that in order to do this, you'd need Backgrounder to keep one or the other running while you go open the other. Supposedly, you are supposed to be able to use it and the BTstack Mouse together. However, there's a $5 (USD) app on Cydia called BTstack Keyboard. You can't have Apple's BT and this BTstack running at the same time (have to make sure the iPad's BT is off before starting this app). I'm sure I'll think of many reasons to use this setup (other than 'because I can'!). Result? The mouse works great! It's as if I am using my finger. I sit on the sofa, about 10-12 feet from the iPad. The iPad sits flat on the arm of a chair next to the TV. Then, I thought I'd see how BTstack Mouse worked with this setup. Will be very handy.Ī 10-foot cable is short, but since I won't be playing games with it, I thought I'd just leave the iPad by the TV and walk over to use it. So, daMomma and I watched a couple of YouTube videos on the 'big' screen. No problem! Plugged the adapter in (used a Belkin 10' HDMI cable - also from Office Max), used SBSettings to fire up DisplayOut, set my TV to the correct source and boom! There's my iPad screen! How cool is that? Perfectly mirrored whatever was happening on the iPad.

I 'get' software but hardware? Not so much.

I was just worried how to set up things using cables and such. I had already gotten DisplayOut at the Cydia store in anticipation of doing some sort of cable hookup to my TV. While I was out finding/buying the mouse, I finally decided to bite the bullet, so I also bought the Digital AV Adapter at Apple today. Very entertaining, actually, using a mouse instead of the finger. No problem with pairing and it works great. The only BT mouse they had was from Microsoft - the 'Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000.'īrought it home and it hooked right up to the iPad and the BTstack Mouse app. Turns out, the hardest thing about using this tweak is finding a Bluetooth mouse! I didn't have one and I had to go to 3 stores to find one. Seemed very neat and I wanted to try it out. I got BTstack Mouse the other day from Cydia after seeing a video about how it works.
