As a part of my testing, I connected a keyboard to my iPad. I noticed that MR does not support page up/down from the keyboard. The Kindle app does.
At any rate, has anyone found one that reliably works in MR?

I bought an 8Bit DO Micro from Amazon. I went through a lot of settings in accessibility including Switch Control without finding something that both worked in MR and didn't interfere with normal operation. Every time I got something to work, I'd find that I got errors when the controller wasn't on or other odd artifacts from having accessibility features on.
I then discovered that the 8 Bit DO Ultimate software app on the App store (not the V2 version) allows reprogramming the keys when the controller is in Keyboard (K) mode. I programmed the Shoulder buttons to the key combinations WIN + Left Arrow and WIN + Right Arrow. It works flawlessly.
The only downside is that as the controller is now your iPad keyboard, you need to turn it off if you want the normal on-screen keyboard to pop-up as usual. I don't have a problem with this as my only use for the controller is for page turns in MR.
