In today’s post, I will help you install Mouse Toggle on FireStick. You will be able to follow the same steps for all other Fire TV products. If you are using an Android device, Mouse Toggle can be downloaded directly from the Google Play Store.
Have you ever installed a third-party app on FireStick and just could navigate the app with the remote? Well, you are not alone. It’s because some of those third-party Android apps were not actually designed for the TVs that work with remote controllers.
Those apps work perfectly fine on touch-screen devices. Why deprive ourselves of some amazing apps just because they are not compatible with remote-controlled devices like FireStick? Well, there is a way around it. What if I told you that you could use those apps on your big screen just with the help of a virtual mouse? Wouldn’t that be great? The app I am talking about is called Mouse Toggle.
With this app, you will be able to use your FireStick Remote as a Mouse. Let’s learn how you can install it on your device and also how to use it.
Mouse Toggle is included in our Best FireStick Apps list since it is one of the best utility apps for FireStick.

Overview of Mouse Toggle App:
Normally, Enable the mouse service and Auto start the mouse service on device start-up options stay turned on by default. If they are not, please switch them on using the toggle switch next to them.
The first option is mandatory for Mouse Toggle to work. And the second option is quite useful as well if you want Mouse Toggle to start when you switch on your device. It’s worth bearing in mind that Mouse Toggle is a pretty lightweight app (2 MB), and keeping it turned on at all times will not affect your device’s performance even in the slightest.
If the mouse is enabled, you will see that the Status option at the bottom left corner of the screen will read started.
If it reads starting, simply click the ADB SETTINGS option in the Mouse Toggle App.
You will be taken to the FireStick Developer Options screen. Then, you will need to turn the ADB Debugging option OFF and then back ON. Now, come back to the Mouse Toggle app and check if the status has changed to started.
Now, let’s say if you have installed an app but you are unable to navigate the app with the remote. You have the Mouse Toggle app. But you do not see any mouse pointer on your TV screen. So, how do you get it?
To get the mouse pointer to show up on the screen, quickly press the Play/Pause Key 
on the FireStick remote twice. A mouse circle will appear on the screen.
Now, you will be able to use that mouse circle to click any tab on the menu.

Quickly press the Play/Pause Key on the FireStick remote twice to bring about the Mouse Toggle cursor on the FireStick screen
