Does a bluetooth mouse work with HoloLens?

My unit just arrived today! I'm about to purchase a bluetooth keyboard - which I know will work. Does anyone know if a bluetooth mouse will work too? If nobody knows, can someone who has a bluetooth mouse pair and test it? Thanks!

    Generally speaking your gaze is your mouse. That said, yes you can pair a Bluetooth Mouse... It won't be supported by the shell, but some apps may support mouse input.

    More info in the documentation here:

    Fantastic, thank you.

    I'm using a Logitech M185 Bluetooth mouse within remote desktop on my Hololens. General movement seems fine as does scrolling but having issues with button clicks. They do not seem to be working. Mind you that could just be an issue within the Hololens remote desktop app...

    I just paired a tiny keyboard/mouse that I bought from Amazon. It is called "QQ-Tech Mini Bluetooth Keyboard W Touchpad". It works fairly well, but the keyboard mouse takes over the HoloLens cursor. I am trying to figure out how to use the keyboard, but not override the Gaze pointer. Typing on this keyboard is way better than the built in virtual keyboard. Especially when typing in complex passwords.
