Android already supports a bluetooth or USB Mouse natively, and in most cases it works exactly like a mouse normally would, but in RS3 Mobile you aren't able to interact with any buttons when using a mouse.

I want to use a mouse for all the situations where I need to precisely move to a certain spot, or click a very small UI button which might be too close to the edge of my phone screen to register properly. With the more precise control of a mouse, I'd be more willing to do Clue Scrolls and Quests on mobile.

In a perfect world, I'd like it if a mouse was given all the functionality in mobile that it has on the desktop, with both left and right mouse clicks, and the scroll wheel being used to zoom and turn the camera. At the very minimum, I'd like the left mouse button to work like a tap exactly the way it normally does in mobile; a short tap being left-click, long tap being right-click, and dragging being the scroll wheel.

Improved mouse support is on the way in the next NXT update or so

It is somewhere between your 'minimum' and 'perfect'. It cannot behave the same as a desktop mouse due to fundamental differences in the design of the mobile UI, and of mouse support on Android

Has anyone looked into the mouse cursors being super weird to capture/record? Various capture methods (game, window, desktop capture) tends to either make the mouse cursor not appear at all, appear very far offset from where it actually is, or have a bunch of black artifacting all over it.

I believe we did look into this and determined it was a bug in OBS, but that was years ago so I could be wrong

I believe it's a bug in all capture programs then, not just OBS. When I make gifs with ShareX it's an issue as well. No other game seems to have this issue.

Sounds like it could well be us doing something unusual then, it is still in our backlog to look into again at some point

Yes, some degree of mouse support is available in the next update, which should hit the Play store in the near future

Edit: Now available :)
