It's really up to app developers to make sure their apps work ok (provide fallbacks if gesture heavy) for mouse.
I think we are in a period where Android is just starting to get used with mouse so I'd expect it to take a bit of time for things get in shape for mouse users.
Some apps work better than others
- matt_morgan 11y agoUnderstood who should really address the problem, but if RemixOS doesn't have an interim solution we might see the same catch-22 here as we often do. App developers will care about these things when it matters commercially, and consumers will care about them when the apps work.
- dharma1 11y agoIt'll be a thing soon (1-3 years from now) once Google integrates Android with ChromeOS. Personally I find a lot of Android apps already very usable with mouse, YMMV
- petecox 11y agoMouse support in the OS has been there a while, a friend had one of the early Asus Transformers some 4 years ago with a trackpad.
- matt_morgan 11y agoI can use the mouse on my android box ... the issue is that the things you have to click don't make sense with a mouse. E.g., there'll be two buttons, one on each side of the screen. Easy to hit with two thumbs, impossible to hit with a mouse.
