KeyPad - Bluetooth Keyboard 4+

Use your Mac as a bluetooth keyboard, mouse and media remote. Works on MacOS versions from Mojave, does not work on MacOS Ventura.

KeyPad is a Universal Control for any device that used a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. KeyPad was Pick of the Week in This week in tech.

Main features of KeyPad:

1. A free bluetooth keyboard for your Phone/iPhone/iPad/Tablet
2. A feature rich remote control and keyboard for the Apple TV.
3. Type using a keyboard instead of typing with your thumbs.
4. Type instead of using voice search with Apple TV, Fire TV, Android TV, Siri…

Considering buying an iPad keyboard? Try KeyPad!

KeyPad works with all major brand devices that support a bluetooth keyboard, like Apple TV, iPhones, Android phones, iPads, Android tablets, Samsung TV, Sony TV’s, Raspberry Pi’s, Roku, FireTV, Nexus Player, eBooks…and more.

Keypad is free for one phone/tv/tablet. To use it with more than one device, or to use the Mouse feature requires In-App Purchase (for Multi-device).

KeyPad will work with your language keyboard layout. Just select the correct keyboard on the iPhone. Use Shift-Control and tap Space to see the keyboard available on your connected iPhone, iPad. If you select your country's keyboard layout, keys like "£" work correctly.

See our video on how to set up and use KeyPad. https://bluetooth-keyboard.com/setup/

Mouse support:

KeyPad emulates a combination keyboard and mouse. If you connect to an iPad you have full mouse and keyboard control. Just press Control + Option (reconfigurable).

Using the mouse with an iPhone requires that you go to Settings | Accessibility | Touch and enable assistive touch.

To connect KeyPad to your device:

1. Launch KeyPad preferences screen
2. Click “Launch Bluetooth Settings” on the Mac (Makes KeyPad discoverable)
3. Go to your device’s Bluetooth settings and connect to the Mac
4. Once the connection is complete the KeyPad window will pop up.

That's it; you're done! Anything you type in the KeyPad window will now go to your phone. Use a hotkey Command+Option+P (reconfigurable) to launch and hide KeyPad.

A better keyboard:

Connect to as many devices as you like (Phones, Tablets, TVs)
Not just a keyboard, a combination mouse, keyboard and media remote.
Function-Tab works like Command-Tab to switch applications on the iPad
Function-Space works like Command-Space to search on the iPad and iPhone.
Press and hold the command key to see more options on the iPad.
Automatically disconnect from your device when you switch away from the app.
