Mobile Mouse is useful as a cross room, or relaxing away from the 
display controller.
I don't use Mobile Mouse with the iPad just AirKeyBoard (AKB). AKB 
might be useful with the iPhone 6(S)/6+(S), it is a little tight on my 
iP5S.

Using AirkeyBoard on my iPad gives me a variable size TouchPad, a full 
or compact keyboard (with touchpad), and a quickly switchable, app 
specific tablet for Photoshop, Lightroom, and others you might want to 
custom build.

Here is the AKB TouchPad:
