Apple does not provide native mouse support for iOS.  The Citrix X1 Mouse communicates directly with Citrix Receiver as opposed to communicating with iOS.  Citrix X1 Mouse and Citrix Receiver utilize Apple’s publically supported APIs to establish the Bluetooth communication (BLE) between the X1 Mouse and Citrix Receiver. The mouse functionality is only available on XenApp and XenDesktop hosted apps and desktops and Citrix ShareConnect, ShareConnect and GoToMyPC mobile apps, the mouse will not function for other iOS apps.   The mouse can also be used on a non-iOS device, in which case the X1 Mouse behaves just like a standard Bluetooth 4.0 mouse.

No.  The Citrix X1 Mouse delivers mouse functionality to Citrix Receiver, ShareConnect, ShareConnect and GoToMyPC apps on iPads and iPhones.  It functions as a standard Bluetooth-enabled mouse on Android, Mac and Windows devices.  X1 Mouse will not provide mouse functionality to non-Citrix iPad and iPhone apps.

Customers are urged to troubleshoot the mouse using the diagnostic instructions on Citrix.com (see below).  The Citrix Receiver support team is trained to troubleshoot X1 Mouse integration issues, but physical issues with the X1 Mouse should be handled via the request a return form on Citrix.com.  Customers are also encouraged to purchase Software Maintenance for their XenApp and XenDesktop environments to get access to the latest troubleshooting tools, techniques and resources.
