Suggest new Mouse pointer for iPad and Android
Hi...been playing around with vWorkspace VDI on ipad and android device for a while now and
would like to suggest a design/feature change to the mouse pointer to help navigate Windows on these devices.
Win7 VDI is better than XP VDI on these devices but still is it possible :-
1. Have a "kind of" closed scissor design ( see below ) , where you have a pointer at one end and 2 "finger" place holder at other end
to control / move and navigate Windows menus , scroll etc.
so... if you keep your finger on the left place holders ..it act as it currently design on the Quest ipad/android Connectors
that is you can move the mouse over items and click.
then with the other finger place holder - press and you get the "right click" option on Windows menu's
and finally - put both fingers on the place holder and this give the feature to allow you to auto scroll up and down menu's
__________
<---------|__________| (right click place holder )
|__________| (left click place holder )

No Problem, I figure this way we don't have to ban people from using our software. : o)

cheers...
it would make if easy to work with "Windows" on these devices because it behave's
like a true mouse ( if possible... )
ohh also dont forget...
to cater for Left handed people ( like me :-) ..so you could switch the function of the left/right
finger place holder

I'm left handed but like the buttons the "normal" way round... Guess I'm ambidextrous, so I vote for a ban on left handed and right handed virtualization users!

LoL...
that's not going to work on my "suggested design" because if your left handed you end up have to cross fingers !!!

Hi Pritpal,
My Name is Scott, I was the one who created the right hand biased mouse cursor. I see your point (snicker) about the pointer not being left handed friendly. I'll talk it over with the programers/project engeneers and see if we can put an option somewhere to trigger a more left handed friendly pointer.
Thanks for pointing that out!

Try out mouse pointer on iPad using a Magic Mouse or Magic Trackpad you have already paired to a Mac, remove it completely from the Mac’s Bluetooth list. The accessory will go into pairing mode and should then appear in the iPad Bluetooth settings. Tap on it to pair.
There are also several iPad cases coming on the market that integrate a trackpad. Obviously, you have the Apple Magic Keyboard with trackpad , which is compatible with the new iPad Pro and is going on sale in May. Logitech has also announced plans to release keyboard-trackpad cases that work with other types of iPad.
