Can we get support for a usb connected mouse for Android?

My mouse works pretty well with most other applications and even some games but every time I open the RuneScape application none of the inputs work except for right clicking which just acts as the escape key

-The zoom is clunky and doesn't always work.

-The buttons such as the backpack and equipment tab or prayers doesn't open or close a tab about half the time it is clicked. Tested this using a precision stylus.

-long pressing isn't very responsive and can be quite frustrating as the popup right click box doesn't stay open if you hold the long press too long.

For the tab buttons and right click window could be improved with a settings option to adjust the size of the tab buttons and right clickbox, and maybe a setting for how long the long press must be held for a right click
.

The developers might also take a note from mobile chrome where it magnifies a small circle to verify a tap for some clicks. That would be a usefull toggle option

First of all i have fat thumbs and am playing on a pretty big phone, but whenever i go to tap on a spell, prayer, friend to chat with, chat options, inventory items/bank items, i always am mis tapping, is there any way you could like make spells and chat options a bit bigger? I hate having to tap 5 times to teleport or when i get a quest reward tapping on the wrong skill to give xp too, or running in a random direction when trying to chat with folks because the chat bar so so tiny.

Taps are laggy. The circle of the "tap radius" seems to appear a good half-second after you actually tapped, and that's also when the game "reads" your tap. While this is functional in more static situations, when the screen (or the thing you tapped) is moving around, trying to tap accurately will always cause a mis-click in (what by then is) the completely wrong spot.

Trying to catch butterflies is horrendous; unless you tap randomly where you think the butterfly will be, the butterfly is usually miles away by the time the click is "read". This also applies to other situations, like combat or pickpocketing - but those are easier since the NPC's tend to be slower, or have a much shorter wander radius.

If the clicks can't be detected more responsively, how about making the click-radius a thing we can configure to be larger or smaller. That way, we could trade precision for increasing the likelihood a thing will be in the target zone when you're doing Hunter or other task where the target NPC moves around a lot, and increase precision when you're doing something static and want to reduce the amount of things in the tap-menu.

The yellow circle is not good for seeing where you clicked, some sort of cross or pretty much anything would be more helpful. At the moment you can only guess where you are going. Else something that shows where you are going better. I.e. like the Runelite option that shows what tile you are going to, something like that could be useful. Might be some better way than the example, just can't come up with one at the moment.

Also with different things up, the clicking can be very inaccurate. If you for some reason wanted to have up 2 apps on the same time, split screen, the clicks are horrifying (they are where it'd be if there was nothing else up. Some other things does that too I think, but mostly just like 1 step away.

I don't know if this has been covered but bluetooth mouse usage would be a must for me for prolonged mobile playing. While the touch controls work and can be navigated being able to use my mouse would make this go to the next level of mobile entertainment.
