About this app

On-screen keyboard, trackpad, media buttons and shortcuts.

2 modes: Overlay (for dual displays handheld - tested on AYN Thor) and IME (Android Input Method - works on all devices).

Tested with: RetroArch, Moonlight PC Streaming, Musicolet, VLC etc.

Notes & usage tips:
- If inputs are not detected, press the "Input Focus" button.
- In RetroArch, press "Scroll Lock" to toggle "Game Focus":
Game Focus ON: Inputs are sent directly to the emulated system - you can type text, but RetroArch hotkeys won't work.
Game Focus OFF: RetroArch hotkeys work, but typing text will trigger default hotkeys.

The trackpad is not a standard trackpad. It is designed specifically for mouse emulation in RetroArch, tested with DOSBox Pure, and also works with Moonlight PC Streaming.

Multiple layouts: US Windows keyboard, Numpad, Thomson MO5, Commodore 64, RetroArch shortcuts, Music media buttons, Video shortcuts, Trackpad.

Custom layouts: Buttons, shortcuts, text pasting. Import a built-in layout to edit it.

Custom themes: Change colors. Import a built-in theme to edit it.

Free and not monetized.

Ratings and reviews

Works very well, does what I need it to do, features that I would find helpful: 1. The ability to simplify the keyboard. - I have big fingers and I'd like to remove a shift from the keyboard to be easier to type. 2. The retroarch pad made me realize there are plenty of additional keys I'd like bound to the quick pad menu. 3. Rotate the trackpad. - Found myself reading manga and turning my Ayn Thor to vertical to read, and using the mouse to zoom and pane. controls are currently inverted.

Thank you so much for this app, its so great on the Thor that the one missing/incomplete feature is just killing me :P Please update/fix the cursor option on the trackpad, the cursor shows but it also touch/drags at the same time, in my opinion it should function as a laptop touchpad, drag to move cursor, tap to click. A way to have a simple keyboard + touchpad layout or custom touchpad layouts would be awesome. A quick swap button/gesture to switch layouts would also be great. Thanks again!!

Superb, I really like it. The trackpad is the killer feature. Hopefully can get it to fake a mouse even better with updates, so that the pointer can be seen while browsing the web. Other software can be limiting, e.g. GameHub Lite doesn't work with a real mouse, and the simulated touch here means that small moves are sometimes treated as a click. But in general, this keyboard lets me play some slower pace mouse-only games, and for that I am grateful.
