How to Install & Use Mouse Toggle on Firestick/Fire TV

The following tutorial will show you how to install Mouse Toggle for Firestick, Fire TV Cube, and Fire TV systems.

Mouse Toggle for Firestick is an easy-to-use application that works as a Mouse to navigate apps that aren’t compatible with the Fire TV Interface.

If you sideload applications onto your Firestick or Fire TV device, you have probably noticed that some of them don’t work well with the remote control.

The reason for this problem is that most Android apps aren’t developed for television.

Instead, they are meant to be used on a phone or tablet where the user is using their finger to navigate instead of a remote.

After installing Mouse Toggle on your preferred device, you can use the tool to navigate apps such as Aurora Store and other Streaming Apps.

Once you double-click the play/pause button on your Firestick Remote, a mouse pointer will appear on the screen.

You can then use that pointer to click various items within the applications that you are using.

For these reasons and more, we have included Mouse Toggle in our list of Best Firestick Apps.

IMPORTANT: Please read the note in the installation guide regarding certain Firestick devices. Currently, the latest models of Fire TV Stick are not compatible with Mouse Toggle.

If you are using an Android TV/Google TV devices such as NVIDIA SHIELD, MECOOL, or Chromecast with Google TV can install Mouse Toggle using the guide below.
