Playing keyboard/mouse games on iPads

PurpleCow · 06-05-19, 09:35 AM

I have so many great windows games that I would love to be able to play on my iPad. Dangerous Waters, Cold Waters, Command, Silent Hunter etc ...

With all the game streaming software out there (Steam Link, Moonlight, Rainway) has anyone found a solution to playing these keyboard/mouse games remotely on their iPad? I had such high hopes for Steam Link but it
s keyboard/mouse support is outright horrible. I tried playing Command and Cold Waters via Steam Link and it was just awful. The graphics worked fine but I could not control the interface at all.

They make Bluetooth KBM combo kits for tablets. Check one out.

Sadly no mouse support yet for the iPad. Though this will change in iOS 13.

Sorry to hear that.

But to be honest, I can't imagine playing any serious game on a tablet.

I don't even like playing my tablet games on my tablet.

Hope you can find a work-around
