Turn your iPhone or iPad into a wireless keyboard, touchpad, presentation remote, and media controller for your computer with AirBoard Pro. CHOOSE BLUETOOTH OR WI-FI AirBoard Pro provides two independent connection methods for Mac and Windows. Choose the one that fits your setup: • Bluetooth mode — connect directly to a compatible Mac or Windows PC. No AirBoard Receiver or shared Wi-Fi network is required. • Wi-Fi mode — install AirBoard Receiver on a Mac or Windows PC, keep both devices on the same local network, select the computer in AirBoard Pro, and enter the six-digit code shown by the receiver. On Mac, Wi-Fi mode requires macOS 13 or later and Accessibility permission. On Windows, AirBoard Receiver supports Windows 11 and requires a Private network connection and local network access through Windows Firewall. The two connection methods work independently. Bluetooth connects directly without AirBoard Receiver, while Wi-Fi mode uses AirBoard Receiver on Mac or Windows. After a successful Wi-Fi pairing, AirBoard Pro remembers the receiver for faster reconnection. Saved computers can be reviewed or removed from Wi-Fi settings at any time. FOUR CONTROL MODES Keyboard • Type with letters, numbers, function keys, arrow keys, modifiers, Backspace, Enter, and Space • Switch between Mac-style and Windows-style keyboard layouts • Use common actions such as Copy, Paste, Select All, and Undo • Turn your device sideways for a larger keyboard layout Touchpad • Move the pointer with natural touch gestures • Tap to click and use secondary click • Scroll with two fingers • Adjust pointer speed, scroll speed, natural scrolling, and gesture preferences Presentation • Move between previous and next slides • Start or end a presentation • Show a black screen • Return to the first slide • Designed for Keynote on Mac and PowerPoint on Windows Media • Play or pause media • Move to the previous or next track • Adjust volume • Mute or restore sound CUSTOM SHORTCUTS AND TEXT SNIPPETS Create reusable keyboard shortcuts for frequently used actions. Save text snippets, preview them before sending, and cancel when needed. Available text input depends on the supported keyboard layout and characters. CLEAR CONNECTION CONTROL See whether AirBoard Pro is ready for input, switch between Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, select a discovered receiver, and manage saved computers from settings. AirBoard Pro sends keyboard, pointer, presentation, and media-control input. It is not a remote desktop, screen-sharing, cloud-sync, or file-transfer app. TRY BEFORE YOU UNLOCK The 3-day trial begins with your first unpaid input-ready connection. Lifetime access is available through a one-time in-app purchase. If you have already purchased, use Restore Purchase in the app settings. Compatibility depends on the computer, operating system, Bluetooth implementation, firewall configuration, and local network environment. Keep AirBoard Pro open and active for the most reliable input experience. Support: https://airboardpro.com/support Privacy Policy: https://airboardpro.com/privacy

LazyMouse turns your iPhone into a trackpad for the computer next to you. Pair once by scanning a code. After that, the pad reconnects on its own whenever you are on the same Wi-Fi. It has no account, and nothing goes through the cloud: your phone talks straight to your computer. THE PAD Drag to move the cursor. Tap to click, two-finger tap to right-click, two-finger drag to scroll. Double-tap and drag, or hold, to select and move things. Movement is smoothed so a slow Wi-Fi moment does not make the cursor stutter. KEYBOARD AND VOLUME Type on the phone and it appears on the computer, with shortcuts for copy, paste, undo, arrows and the modifier keys. Volume and mute are under your thumb on the edge of the pad. SEE THE SCREEN Watch your computer's screen on your phone, zoom in, and expand it to full screen sideways, with the computer's sound. Switch on touch mode to click on the picture directly, and pinch and drag to move around it. FILES AND CLIPBOARD Send photos, videos and files to the computer, fetch files it offers, and move copied text between the two. Nothing is copied unless you press the button. PRIVATE No account, no analytics, no ads. Everything stays on your network. REQUIRES the LazyMouse app on your Windows 10 or later computer, on the same Wi-Fi network. Try the demo on the first screen to see the pad without a computer.
