Keyboard and mouse on ipad

[Marco26220861zwg3]

Hi is it possible to use mouse and keyboard on ipad with illustrator/photoshop/indesign?

[Monika Gause · Accepted solution]

InDesign cannot be used on the iPad at all.

In Illustrator you can use your keyboard and mouse as long as you get it connected.

Connecting is not an issue: here is my iPad with an old Windows keyboard:

This setup also works in Illustrator on the iPad. I have not tried Photoshop.

Thank you for the support 😉

You're welcome!

What's important when you want to connect a USB keyboard (old USB type) is to get a connector that the iPad accepts. Not all of them work. But that is a general iPad or even Apple issue (since the same is true for Macbooks).
