Really, the proper solution here appears to either just use a laptop, and the iOS Keynote Remote app to drive it as a controller. Or use the iPad directly, using an AppleTV for wireless, or using the VGA/HDMI dongles.
That might be the
best solution, but the proper solution would be for an extremely simple accessory that could merely talk to the device, like
this (except bluetooth).
Paring a Bluetooth mouse to an iOS device does nothing. The OS has no concept of a mouse, mouse cursor, or mouse clicks.
This is clear, but it doesn't
have to be a mouse. Wasn't there an Apple keynote a year or two ago where they touted all the incredible accessory capabilities of iOS, and how there was so much potential for making use of all parts of the operating system? Please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm having trouble pin-pointing it.
Meanwhile, I bought
this $39 mouse, turned it on, paired it with my tablet like any bluetooth device, and a mouse cursor popped up on the screen! I doubt this is something Google intended, and I don't even understand how it works!
