On Citrix Summit in Las Vegas back in January 2015 Citrix presented the X1 Prototype Mouse. This mouse is not just another mouse with a Citrix logo on it. It’s a mouse that works in Citrix Receiver with iOS-Devices!<\/strong>\u00a0Yes it’s the truth, normal\u00a0bluetooth mice doesn’t work with the Citrix receiver on iPad.<\/p>\n

Even when I was not on Citrix Summit, with the social media channels I was pretty fast to get that Info and I was the 7th on the order form<\/a>\u00a0to request\u00a0this cool gadget for a described use case. \u00a0I want to demonstrate\u00a0this in my company because we are currently in a VDI initiative project with up to 2000 VDIs.<\/p>\n

Today almost\u00a04 months later I received my\u00a0Citrix X1 Prototype Mouse<\/a>\u00a0and can start test and maybe show off in my company \ud83d\ude42 To be honest, the design don’t give me the chance to show off …<\/p>\n

\nThe X1 Mouse appears in a nasty 80ties style, the power switch on the bottom has three possible positions, up- and down for ON and OFF in the middle.<\/p>\n

Connect the mouse to the iPhone? Really? 4,7 inch ?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not only the iPad is the only use case for the mouse, remember 2010 the Vision of the Nirvana Device and the Motorola NirvanaPhone\u00a0<\/a>. With the new version of the Citrix Receiver for iOS you can connect a Screen on your iPhone, a Bluetooth Keyboard, that mouse and you can work with the iPhone as „Thin Client“ on you television connected with Airplay or on your 24″ Office Screen connected with a Lightning VGA adapter.<\/p>\n

I made some quick hands-on test:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ve used the following infrastructure to test:<\/p>\n
