Using Fluid with a Mouse & Keyboard
The recommended way to use Fluid is with a bluetooth mouse and keyboard. To get started, ensure your device is connected to the headset via Bluetooth or USB. To find out how, check out Meta's official guide for connecting Bluetooth devices to your headset.
Supported Devices
Fluid is built to support many different Keyboards and Mice from your favorite manufacturers. This ensures that you can just hop in and start working. Please keep in mind that certain special features of certain keyboards may not be supported, such as macro keys that are configured within the manufactures software.
Fluid supports a number of different international keyboard layouts. You can see which layouts we support here.
There is a known issue with Apples Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad that is preventing two finger scrolling from working on Android Devices. You can work around this by holding Ctrl + Shift on your keyboard while moving your mouse, which will send scroll events.
If you'd like to see if a specific keyboard or mouse has been tested, feel free to ask about that specific model in our Discord Server.
Navigating the Web
Using your mouse and keyboard in Fluid should feel very similar to any traditional desktop browser you've used before. You can click buttons, select and copy text and do everything you're used to.
Certain Keyboard shortcuts may not work entirely correctly. If this is the case, feel free to tell us in our Discord Server.
Moving a window
To move a window using your mouse, simply click and drag the top of the window. To move the window closer or further away from you, simply scroll while moving the window. You can also press the middle mouse button, which will lock the window to your mouse, allowing you to move it around more easily.
If you'd like to use any regular Mouse 3 functions, you can disable Middle Click to Move in your Settings.
