Turn your iPhone into a wireless Bluetooth keyboard and trackpad for a PC, Mac, iPad, smart TV or Raspberry Pi. Nothing to install on the other device. • Keyboard in any language, plus Ctrl, Alt, ⌘, Esc, F1–F12 and arrows • Full laptop keyboard and numpad modes • Multi-touch trackpad: click, right-click, scroll, drag • TV remote with an air pointer — aim the phone, the cursor follows • Slide controls for presentations • Macros, text snippets and clipboard paste • Several devices at once, switch with one tap • Apple Watch remote • No account, no servers, no tracking HOW IT CONNECTS • Mac, iPad or iPhone on your Apple Account: open Devices, tap Scan and pick it. No pairing screen at all. • Everything else — PC, smart TV, Raspberry Pi, or an Apple device on someone else's Apple Account: pair from that device's own Bluetooth settings, where your iPhone appears as "BT Keys", like any Bluetooth keyboard. • If neither works, install BT Keys on the other Apple device too and switch it to Receive mode. KEYBOARD • Your normal iPhone keyboard, with dictation and Japanese, Chinese and Korean input methods • Tap a modifier, then a key, for shortcuts like ⌘+Tab or Ctrl+C; double-tap to lock it • Matches the other device's keyboard layout — US, UK, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Nordic, Polish, Hungarian and more — so accents like ö, é, ñ and ç arrive as typed • Korean goes out as standard 2-Set (두벌식) keys. For Chinese or Japanese, type pinyin or romaji and let the other device convert it • Full keyboard: Esc, F-keys, number row and arrows, labelled in the other device's layout • Numpad: real keypad keys, so spreadsheet shortcuts and Alt-codes work TRACKPAD • One finger moves and taps to click; two fingers scroll and tap to right-click • Tap, then press again to drag • Trackpad only gives the pointer the whole screen, and flicks keep gliding REMOTE & PRESENTATIONS • Full-screen remote: play/pause, volume, brightness, a D-pad and Home • Air pointer: hold the button and aim the phone to move the cursor; tap to click • Presenter bar: start, next, previous, black screen and pointer • Apple Watch app for play/pause, skip and volume MACROS & SNIPPETS • Record a key combo and replay it with one tap • Save text snippets, and type your clipboard with the Paste key MULTIPLE DEVICES • Stay connected to several devices and choose which one gets your input • Identify wiggles a device's pointer, so you know which screen you're about to type into PRIVACY Keystrokes go straight to the paired device over encrypted Bluetooth — never recorded, never uploaded. Free for 10 minutes a day. One in-app purchase unlocks unlimited use — no subscription.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: BT Keys at Free against WatchRSS+'s $0.99. WatchRSS+'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
