Will I want a mouse to accompany a Bluetooth keyboard?

[gkendall43]

I have my Nexus 7-2013 in a Devicewear Ridge case and I plan to buy a stand alone Bluetooth keyboard. I'm wondering if when I'm using the keyboard and the N7 standing up in portriat mode in the case if I'll also want a Bluetooth mouse? Rather than touching the screen in this configuration, I'm wondering if I should get a mouse. However, I don't know how well Android and the N7 work with a Bluetooth mouse. Can I use a mouse to do most of what you usually do with a finger or stylus on the screen?

Thanks.

I'm using a Logitech Bluetooth keyboard and a MS bluetooth mouse as you read this. I absolutely love it as it turns my already great LG G Pad 8.3 into a fast-input netbook. It's super useful and I highly recommend having a BT mouse and keyboard for your tablet.

A mouse is certainly not necessary, but I could see it being handy. Whether you'll want it probably depends on how you'll use the tablet. I often use my tablet in a chair or someplace where I wouldn't have anyplace to set a mouse, so for me it's not generally going to be useful. On the other hand, if I were doing more "production" on it (typing up letters, code, etc), I could see a mouse being handy. But the device is designed for touch first, so it's not a big loss to not have a mouse.
