iPad and keyboard
I conducted a training in a Apple school where teachers and students use iPad to play M:EE. Some of their devices have a keyboard and a few teachers want to use the keyboard and a mouse to play M:EE in their iPads.
I went to settings -> controls, and turned off the touch control but the iPad still recognized it, so at the end we were only able to play M:EE on iPad with the touch control and a controller.
I know M:EE in iPad is mean to be played with the touch control but I think if we have a control menu with the keyboard option it should works. Maybe I couldn't find the correct way to make it work or this option is not working... I just wanted to bring it up so we can look into it.

HI Leticia,
Thank you for posting!
The iPad in general does not support the use of a mouse and it only supports keyboards on select games, Minecraft not being one of them.
Thanks!

Hi- our student devices have keyboards- the app would be much more useful if it supported both- most games do support keyboards on iPads. Thank you!

Attention: Kyle M
Please apply to allow keyboard and mouse play on Minecraft edu iPad edition.
It's important to be able to type in the coding section.
Also, keyboards and mouse act as an assistive technology device, especially when you have a disability in your shoulders.
The mouse works, but the keyboard is not recognised.
Thanks
Michael

I am trying to learn how to use the iPad with Touch to be able to help my students. All of the instructions in the Tutorial games are written for keyboard and mouse. Is there a way to get the instructions on the chalk boards and prompts for Touch? I have gone into Settings and selected Touch, but it doesn't change the signs.
Thanks!
Barbara

Hi! I just want to add here that the iPad does support keyboard and mouse support in apps now (iPadOS 14), so I hope Minecraft will include this in one of their upcoming updates.
