There has been an issue persistent ever since iPadOS even got support for mice and keyboards. When you hit esc to enter the pause menu, the cursor and keyboard kind of glitch out; the cursor refuses to highlight things and if you try to click on something regardless (like settings) it just hits some random toggle you did not select. To navigate around, you have to fiddle with the tab and arrow keys on the keybaord and spam click mouse buttons to get something. This is very frustrating when trying to quickly adjust settings during gameplay. The same thing also applies when trying to use the chat; the mouse refuses to select things also hindering you from typing into the chat to let friends know of something.
This issue also only seems to be happening when youβre currently inside of a world, once the mouse and keyboard have been used inside of the game to move and look around.
