What about support for bluetooth mice?

On the android devices i can use the bt-mouse in browser, playstore, remote desktop and more.

The Jolla pair with the mouse, but no cursor. Is a driver missing?

Is their any requirement or something planned in the roadmap?

on tablet, add -plugin evdevmouse to the lipstick startup options, and restart lipstick.

options are in /var/lib/environment/compositor/droid-hal-device.conf

There is no cursor, but mouse works.

just tried with sailfish X 2.1.4.14 . When using with a BT mouse everything is working fine - scrolling with mousewheel and left-click + mouse movement. i also have a BT keyboard with touchscreen (iclever ic-bk08), left-click+finger movement lets me also scroll through mails. When trying out two fingers for scrolling it sometimes works, after a while - maybe some strange zoom/double tap combinations later scrolling is kind of broken. The Browser doesn't let me scroll any more on the xperia touchscreen and when opening settings, scrolling is also broken with keyboard and xperia-touchscreen, I am not able to click on anything. In the Mail app i can still scroll, type and so on... Anyone an idea what causes this?
