iPads should support 120Hz refresh rate and support for more input devices

The new iPads, with the new iPadOS 13.4, now supports mouse, trackpad, and keyboard support. Please add mouse and keyboard support! With iPadOS 13.4, instead of keypress only registering individually, they can now recognize holding the key, so WASD works, instead of just spamming the keys every time you want to move. Also, recent iPad Pros also support 120Hz refresh rate, and I think Minecraft would look fantastic while playing at frame rates higher than 60 fps. Even if the iPad Pro isn't powerful enough to do 120fps, what about 70-100? Or, maybe lowering the graphics quality and render distance? I think these additions would make Minecraft more enjoyable on iPads. As for how Mojang might add these features, I think an update from the App Store would be the easiest way. Mojang could also beta-test the features by only making it accessible by enabling "Use experimental gameplay", then get feedback, improve it, then ultimately decide whether or not to include the features. Thank you for looking at this post, if you are looking at this post.

    I certainly agree with the addition of mouse support.  As a programmer myself, since the layouts would structurally be nearly the same to Windows 10, I would not think it would be difficult to migrate the Windows control settings to iPadOS.

    This would be an amazing addition considering apples new keyboard and iPad Air with the apple a14 chip, plus they added support in games for keyboard and mouse at wwdc 2020. Come on Mojang!!

    This needs to happen; the settings even reference keyboard support! Touch on the iPhone is alright but the iPad screen is too big so you end up hitting things by accident (or in my case falling into lava...)

    We really shouldn’t have to make a damn petition to get this feature! The game already has a keyboard and mouse tab in the controls menu on iOS. iPads have had mouse support for well over a year now, almost 2. This feature should have been added a long ago! Come on Microsoft you have one of the worlds most popular games here, you made a damn 3DS port... you can spend a little bit of resources on a control method that already exists for other versions of the game. Pfft F***ing inexcusable.

    It's 18th of July already and still no 120fps support on iPad Pro. So much time has passed and so many updates were released...
