About

DexoPad

Features
Read full description

DexoPad is a companion app for the DexoPad hardware dongle β€” a wireless BLE-to-USB HID bridge that turns your iPhone or iPad into a keyboard, trackpad, and shortcut controller for any computer. The DexoPad dongle (sold separately) plugs into your target computer's USB port and communicates with the app over Bluetooth Low Energy β€” no drivers, no companion software, no network configuration required. Because the DexoPad dongle presents itself to your computer as a standard USB keyboard and mouse (HID), it works everywhere: Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, and even at the BIOS/UEFI level before any operating system boots. Type into BIOS setup, navigate boot menus, unlock encrypted drives, or run keyboard-only servers β€” DexoPad works when nothing else can. Key features: β€’ Full keyboard input with modifier combos: Ctrl+C, Cmd+V, Ctrl+Alt+Del, Win+R, and every F-key (F1–F12) plus arrow, Home/End, PageUp/Down, and Insert/Delete. β€’ Precision touchpad with two-finger scroll, tap-to-click, drag, and left/right/middle mouse buttons. β€’ Multi-OS Unicode input: Type Chinese, Japanese, Korean, emoji, and other Unicode characters into any target OS β€” DexoPad handles keyboard layout translation for Windows (Alt+Numpad), macOS (Unicode Hex Input), and Linux (Ctrl+Shift+U). β€’ ASCII mode for pre-OS environments: Send raw HID scancodes when no IME is available (BIOS, GRUB, recovery consoles, embedded systems). β€’ Custom shortcut buttons: Save your favorite key combinations as one-tap actions. β€’ Low-latency BLE: Real-time typing and pointer control over Bluetooth. β€’ Multi-device pairing: Manage several DexoPad dongles from one iPhone. Perfect for: β€’ Remote IT support and system administration β€’ Developers working with headless machines and embedded devices β€’ Presenters who need a discrete, wireless remote β€’ Anyone who wants their phone to double as a keyboard/mouse for a nearby computer
