I've been using the laptop form factor as my default computer/workstation at least since 1998. I use one for work and I have my own.
Out of the box, the Apple Magic Mouse has a smooth surface that hides its two button nature. On top of that, the default in System Preferences is a one button mouse. For those who prefer a classic.

I carry my iPad Pro with me all the time for my projects. I also set up a Windows 10 VM in A cloud computing service created by Microsoft. A collection of servers and networking hardware running virtualized hardware and software on behalf of users.
It supports IaaS, PaaS, DBaaS and FaaS

One big inconvenience of the iPad when using Remote Desktop on the VM on A cloud computing service created by Microsoft. A collection of servers and networking hardware running virtualized hardware and software on behalf of users.
It supports IaaS, PaaS, DBaaS and FaaS
'>Azure was the lack of mouse support, that was just solved with the latest iPad OS update.
The experience
One Word: Perfect
- Behold - here's the new cheeky apple device that will once again redefine digital lifestyle. Seriously now, the new Magic Mouse has some neat features and lo.
- It features the ability to bind a variable number of finger clicks, taps, swipes, pinch and other gestures to functions like Middle Click, Hold Down Both Mouse Buttons, Spaces, Expose, Dashboard, Recent Applications, Tweet, Read Tweets, Google Reader etc.
- The Magic Mouse 2, Apple's follow-up to 2009's original wireless Magic Mouse, was launched earlier this month alongside new iMacs and a two other 'Magic' branded peripherals: the Magic Trackpad 2.
More words: It's way more than OK and more than good enough
I could use the iPad applications (Word, Skype, Spotify, Firefox, etc) and avoid the Windows VM completely BUT sometimes I need and prefer Windows multi-tasking.
The Mouse setup
In Windows, there's the default select click (Left) and the multi-functional (Right). At first, it wasn't that intuitive how to perform a right-click on the iPad and without it, Windows is almost unusable.
Left-Click: self-explanatory. Just click it
Right-Click: Leave the Left button pressed and it'll come up.
That's it!
Remember that the mouse it's a substitute for the finger(s) and you either use one or more at the same time, there's no such concept in the iPad OS for such a device. If you leave your finger pressed over the surface of the Ipad additional options will come up, that's the equivalent of a right-click.
The setup
Apple Mouse Functions
Enable Assistive Touch and that little button will come up, colour and size can also be customized
The buttons can be customized. I set the middle one for App Switcher
The mouse
The Sculpt Comfort Mouse.
There are things that don't work on the remote session:
- The mouse-wheel for scrolling
- The Windows mouse button
So far, I'm pretty happy with the experience
Update on January 2020
Apple Magic Mouse Functions
After using the mouse with the Ipad for some time and trying to actually make it work as the ‘terminal' for a remote session, the experience hasn't proved to be the best and here are some reasons:
- Lots of applications exist for the Ipad that do also exist in Windows, ex: Skype
- Some others don't like Visio and trying to use an Ipad to create diagrams on a remote desktop, it's challenging and can also be annoying at times. I do not recommend doing it. Not for that specific scenario
- The finger most of the times works better than the mouse, for most things.
I completely stopped using the mouse and switched to the native Ipad Applications except for when using Windows is strictly necessary.
Advice: if you need to do RDP use a full desktop, either Windows or macOS or Linux but not and Ipad
