  Hi all, hoping someone can get me going with this please...

  I have a Samsung Tab S 8.4", running Android 5.0. WGT is installed, and runs fine with normal control via the touch screen.

  But I also have a bluetooth Samsung S Mouse that I use with the tablet. It works fine with all the other apps I have, but I cannot get it to control anything in WGT.

  I'm guessing there is a setup problem somewhere, but don't really know where to look.

  Any advice welcome :-)

  Thanks in advance,

  Steve

  The mobile app is specifically set up for just using the touchscreen.  There is not support for mouses currently.

  Thank you Thomas, but I want to use the tablet when I'm away from the PC.

  Well that's a real shame Shoe - a mouse makes using a tablet for this sort of gaming SO much better. Any point watching this space? Any chance it might be in the pipeline?

  I would like to use a mouse too. I simply can´t get the ping right if I I have to hover my finger above a touchscreen.

  Ditto that. The game works and looks great on my Fire tablet, but tapping the screen with a stylus sure isn't as accurate as clicking the mouse.
