Description

I see and that mouse support has been added with the use of AssistiveTouch but still lacks the ability to actually use the mouse as a mouse. I don’t know if this is more of an Apple problem but it’s annoying for me to be able to use a keyboard but still have to use a finger to emulate a mouse on screen.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or implementation entry points. Start by locating RetroArch’s iOS input handling and checking how AssistiveTouch and Bluetooth mouse events are exposed; done would mean mouse input works as pointer input without requiring finger emulation, with platform limitations documented if Apple prevents it.
