Amazon WorkSpaces Introduces Mouse Support on iPad Devices

Posted on: May 15, 2018

You can now control your Amazon WorkSpaces environment running on your iPad when you use a SwiftPoint GT mouse. This launch enables precise pointer control in your WorkSpace when you’re using an iPad with a SwiftPoint GT mouse. To access Amazon WorkSpaces from your iPad, or other supported client devices, download the Amazon WorkSpaces app. Once you have the Amazon WorkSpaces iPad app installed, simply enable Bluetooth on both your iPad and SwiftPoint GT mouse and pair them. Then log into your WorkSpace, and you can use the mouse just like you would on a PC or laptop. You can get more detail on mouse set up and support in our documentation.

Amazon WorkSpaces is a fully managed, secure Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) solution which runs on AWS. With WorkSpaces, you can provision virtual, cloud-based desktops for your users, providing them access to the documents, applications, and resources they need, anywhere, anytime, from any supported device. You can quickly add or remove WorkSpaces to meet the needs of your dynamic workforce and still provide a more responsive experience to end users. You can pay either monthly or hourly, just for the WorkSpaces you launch, which helps you save money when compared to traditional desktops and on-premises VDI solutions.
