Not that you really need one for day to day use on the Ipad. But goes well when I have the IPad set up on the dock with the blue tooth keyboard as well.

What s the point of a mouse pointer onscreen if you have no mouse to move it and use it. And secondly using a mouse on the ipad is a step backwards. The whole idea of the ipad design wise is to free yourself from the mouse.

There have been several occasions where I have been editing a document, cutting and pasting, while the Ipad was in the dock, and it was annoying to have to pinch in and pinch out to copy, paste and edit. What takes two clicks with the mouse, requires about 5 gestures to align everything up just right with tapping on the screen.

What you call a step backwards. I call "having options"
