Get this keyboard/mouse replacement

Best $5 I’ve ever spent. Seamlessly works on my tablet to be a complete keyboard/mouse replacement for my steamOS pc, which is connected to my living room TV. Everything else is a plus - nice to monitor cpu & gpu temps, can switch games or switch to desktop mode right from the app without issue (like when uplay fails to launch for the 1000th time).

Seriously get this app before steam hires this developer away!

Truly Wonderful

The perfect companion to SteamOS, allows for exceptionally quick library launching, a wonderful interface for interacting with the computer (and your smart TVs!). This is a must buy for me. Everything just works.

The best app for Bazzite

Wow. This was money well spent. I’ll never need a keyboard/mouse again. Thanks!

Perfect for a Steam Big Picture Rig

I don't leave a lot of reviews, but as a dev myself, I get the importance of it, especially for young projects like this one.

I am legitimately impressed by this thing, the various remote/pad types alone are extremely useful, but the system info stuff provided to be valuable a few times.

I'd love to see better compatibility with things like Kodi - the selector jumps 2 items every time I swipe, despite playing with combinations of "TV navigation" and "send keys instead of a controller". Either a fix for that, or a way to send button/key combinations would be fire.

Response from developer

Thanks for taking the time to write this — it genuinely shaped the last update. Your ask for a way to send button/key combinations is now built in: hold the keyboard button on the Pad to open a Combos panel with copy/paste plus one-tap Kodi/media shortcuts (context menu, info, play/pause, back). On the Kodi selector jumping two items: I dug in, and the cause is Steam Input quietly duplicating the virtual pad, so Kodi ends up seeing two controllers and each swipe counts twice. I know you already tried the TV-navigation and send-keys settings — in my testing the send-keys path moves one item at a time, so I'd really like you to give this update a run once it lands and tell me whether it behaves on your rig. If it still doubles, send over your setup (distro, and whether Kodi's in Game Mode or on the desktop) and I'll get it fully sorted. Thanks again — this is exactly the kind of feedback that makes it better.
