Magic Mouse and home screen

I have the mouse and want to know if there is a way to get to the home screen with it. I dislike swiping up to get to the home screen so while I am at it, is there a different way to get to the home screen? I love my Air 2 home button but no such animal on the Ipad Pro.

Thanks

Enable the Assistive Touch option in the accessibility settings. That will allow you to click on the virtual home button with your mouse. That is what works for me.

Thanks but doesn't that leave that annoying round circle on the screen? I think I can adjust the opacity though. So there is not way to program the mouse then, like assigning that function to the right click or a double click?

Yes, go to Settings→ General→ Trackpad & Mouse→ Secondary Click
