How to Install and Use Mouse Toggle app on Firestick & Fire TV

How many times you have been frustrated by not be able to navigate third-party apps not fully compatible with Firestick or Fire TV.
You just need to install Mouse Toggle, an also third-party app and use your remote as always, no matter what kind of application you are using.

This guide illustrates how to install Mouse Toggle on Firestick and Fire TV. This is a utility app that will make your Firestick experience even better.

If you like sideloading apps on Firestick as we do, then you have probably noticed that some apps can’t be navigated as well as others. This is because most of the apps that we install on Firestick for purposes such as streaming among others are usually meant to be used on smartphones and Android TV boxes.

Smartphones allow easy and quick navigation just by touching the option you need, and most Android TVs and TV boxes allow you to switch to a mouse-like option. Unfortunately, Firestick and Fire TV remotes do not support this functionality, making it hard to navigate most sideloaded apps (and even others on the Amazon store like File Explorer). This is where mouse toggle comes in.

Mouse toggle lets you integrate a mouse pointer into your Firestick, making it easy to navigate and manipulate interface elements that are not fully compatible with Firestick. The mouse pointer can be activated and deactivated easily using the Firestick remote, and we’ll show you how to do that.

Mind your Privacy & Security

  Most of the apps that need you to use mouse toggle on Firestick (and especially streaming apps) have not published on the Amazon store. This is because most of them allow users to stream copyrighted content illegally, something which can make you land in trouble over copyright infringement.

Today, ISPs almost everywhere are actively monitoring all online activities. Thus, they know the sites you visit, the type of content that you stream or download, etc. Remember that they always share this data with the government and other agencies who are actively fighting copyright infringement.

To stay out of trouble, we advise that you always use a reliable VPN like Surfshark when streaming using third-party apps.

The VPN we recommend

At BestDroidPlayer, the VPN we recommend is Surfshark, and it’s the VPN provider we have been using for several years. The VPN is proven to be super-fast and very secure. There’s a Firestick version that is readily available on the Amazon Store, and so you will have no trouble while installing or using the VPN’s app.

Even better, we have a special discount for BestDroidPlayer readers which will get you 82% off the VPN. This deal also comes with a 100% money-back guarantee!

How to Install Mouse Toggle on Firestick and Fire TV

Mouse Toggle is not available on the Amazon Store, and so we’ll need to sideload it. This means that we first need to enable “Apps from unknown sources.” Apart from that, the app requires “ADB Debugging” to be on for it to work.

Here’s how to enable these two:

  1. While at the device Home screen, go to “Settings” then select “My Fire TV/ Device.”
  2. Select “Developer options.”
  3. Turn on “Apps from Unknown Sources” as well as “ADB debugging.”Enable ADB on Developer options before be able to Install Mouse Toggle on Firestick and Firetv

After that, we can go ahead and download the app.

The best app for downloading the apk file is downloader, an app that is readily available in the store. If you already have it, you can skip to the next section.

If you haven’t installed it:

Install Downloader App

  1. On the main menu, go to the search option and type “Downloader”To install the Downloader app, tipe
  2. Downloader should be the first suggestion. Select it.Downloader app should be the first option

  3. After the download is complete, click “Install”After the download finishes, hit the Install button to install the install Mouse Toggle app
  4. When the installation completes, click “Done.”When the Mouse Toggle install process finishes, on your Firestik or Fire TV, hit Done
  5. Downloader will ask if you want to delete the apk. Select “Delete” to save some space.After install Mouse Toggle app, you can delete its APK file
  6. When asked to confirm, select “Delete” once more.

How to Use Mouse Toggle

Using mouse toggle is quite easy. To activate it, all you need to do is double click the play button on your remote. It will display a mouse pointer that you can move using the direction keys on the Firestick remote.After Install activate and use the Mouse Toggle freely on your Firestick or Fire TV

To disable the mouse pointer, long-press the same play button or double-click it.

Mouse Toggle Not Working

If you have launched Mouse Toggle but it’s not working, go back to settings and turn off ADB Debugging, then turn it on again. This should solve the issue. You can also check the app to make sure that the settings are still okay.After the install, check the configurations for Mouse Toggle on your Firestick or Fire TV

If it still doesn’t work, you are most likely not double-tapping the play button fast enough. Try to do it faster.

Mouse toggle should always start automatically when you start your Firestick, so you won’t have to start the app manually. You can also set your Surfsharkapp to connect automatically, and you will be able to enjoy streaming on Firestick without worries.

Wrap up

Mouse Toggle is one of the best utility apps for Firestick, as it makes it easy to use apps such as Popcorn Time and Nova TV. After you install it, you will have mouse capabilities on your Firestick remote, which you can turn on and off effortlessly.

However, since most cord-cutters sideload apps to use low-cost or free streaming apps, it’s highly advisable to always turn on your Surfshark before starting such apps.

Enjoy your streaming!
