Bug Description
On my Nexus 4, when I open the mouse & touchpad panel the following string is displayed:
"You need to use a Bluetooth mouse or touchpad with this display. Make sure it is close to the device and its batteries are charged."
I'm not a native English speaker but this wording seems wrong to me.
No external display was ever attached to my device, I should not (and I don't) *need* to use a Bluetooth mouse or touchpad.
Maybe you wanted to mean something like the following?
"You can use a Bluetooth mouse or touchpad with this device. Make sure it is close to the device and its batteries are charged."

Nicolas, thanks for this report. You’re correct that the wording is wrong: you don’t “need to” use a mouse or touchpad at all.
Furthermore, as suggested in the wireframe, I intended that text to appear only on an PC display, whether standalone or pocket PC. <https:/
