EDIT: Somehow posted this twice, would forums mods be so kind and remove the double? Thanks!


Well, this thing might be a bit unorthodox but maybe someone have experience with it or developers would find it interesting enough to comment.

So - sometimes I use physical mouse with my phone when dealing with small interfaces, because I have big fingers.

I plug in your everyday USB optical mouse via USB-Micro USB adapter, Android system recognizes it, you even get pointer arrow and it registers all the clicks as taps.

I never tried it on RS Mobile before, because I mostly use it on public transport not at desk, so fingers are first choice obviously.

But now I plan a longer vacation and will have to do on mobile some things I otherwise would do on PC, and I find them hard with my big fingers, so I gave mouse a try with RS Mobile today.

For some reason it registers clicks as taps only on ribbon, not in inventory, game world or world selection in lobby.

I think RS Mobile was never meant to be used with mouse, but if Android system recognizes mouse and registers clicks for taps - and so do other programs on my phone, just wondering why RS Mobile wouldn't do the same?

So I was wondering - does anyone have ideas or wild guesses what settings or w/e I could try to change to make it work?

Thanks in advance!

Okay first off, that's pretty nifty and something I'd like to try on my own device :D

Secondly, I do something a bit similar, albeit it's a bluetooth compact keyboard. Do you have any mice that run off of bluetooth (not the "wireless" kind with a chip, but full bluetooth) that you could try connecting and running? @Lisaa_RS - Followed by @Runescape

If anything I have a bit older Win 8.1 tablet I used to play RS on trips via the PC game client before, works fine if using mouse via adapter too, just with RS Mobile out I thought maybe I can avoid carrying extra weight around while travelling. :D
