Use your Mac keyboard to control all your devices. From smartphones and tablets to TVs and even the raspberry pi, KeyPad turns your Mac into a powerful universal Bluetooth keyboard, mouse, and media remote. A software KVM.
Feature Summary:
Universal Bluetooth Keyboard: Use your Mac's keyboard as a Bluetooth keyboard to control various devices including iPhones, iPads, Android devices, Apple TVs, smart TVs (Samsung, Sony), Raspberry Pis, and more.
Multi-Device Support: Maintains connections with multiple devices. One keyboard to rule them all.
Developer Support: Use the Mac keyboard and mouse to test keyboard support for your iPhone, iPad, Android, and TV apps.
Integrated Mouse and Keyboard Functionality: KeyPad emulates both a keyboard and a mouse, providing full cursor control for iPads and basic mouse functions for iPhones via Assistive Touch.
Ergonomic Benefits: Provides a comfortable typing alternative to small, cramped mobile keyboards or voice controls, ideal for users with physical limitations or those seeking to avoid "texting thumb".
Customizable Controls: Features like Control + Option for mouse control and reconfigurable hotkeys such as Command+Option+P for toggling the KeyPad interface, enhance user experience.
Language and Layout Support: Supports multiple keyboard layouts, ensuring correct character input regardless of user location or language preferences.
Seamless Setup: Easy setup process involves making KeyPad discoverable, pairing and connecting over Bluetooth, and starting immediate control.
Privacy and Discretion: Useful for maintaining privacy during presentations, as notifications can be confined to the phone rather than appearing on the Mac screen.

Developers: Use your Mac keyboard to test keyboard support for your iPhone, iPad, Android or TV App. Use the Mac keyboard to control devices like Raspberry Pis or set-top boxes.
Home Entertainment: Control your smart TV with the comfort of your Mac's keyboard. Navigate media interfaces faster than using a traditional TV remote.

I wanted to use my M1 MacBook keyboard to type in my iPhone 12 Pro and did research on 1Keyboard, Type2Phone, KeyPad, etc. In the end I purchased KeyPad because it has been updated regularly and because the developer actually responded to the users' questions. Most of all, it did work on my M1 MacBook and iPhone 12 Pro smoothly. Thanks Toolbunch. Maigoofy
