## What it is
An Arduino-compatible C++ library that turns an ESP32 into a Bluetooth LE (BLE) HID mouse. It exposes an Arduino Mouse-like API for moving the pointer, clicking, scrolling, and reporting battery level to host devices.

## Use cases
- turn an ESP32 into a bluetooth mouse
- send mouse clicks and scrolls from an ESP32 over BLE
- build a DIY wireless mouse with ESP32 and Arduino IDE
- control a computer's pointer remotely via bluetooth low energy
- simulate mouse input for automation with ESP32
- add back/forward button support to a BLE HID device

## When to choose
- you want to emulate a Bluetooth mouse using an ESP32 in the Arduino IDE
- you need an Arduino Mouse-like API over BLE instead of USB
- you want cross-host compatibility with Android, Windows, Linux, macOS, or iOS

## When to avoid
- you need a USB HID mouse rather than Bluetooth LE
- you need guaranteed stability on macOS or iOS, which is reported as unreliable
- you need a keyboard or gamepad instead - use the companion ESP32-BLE-Keyboard or ESP32-BLE-Gamepad libraries
