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.”

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 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!
