Installing and using KeyPad
Using KeyPad
You can connect to as many devices as you like. All your TVs, Phones, tablet… there is no limitation.
We recommend creating a hotkey for each of your devices, it can be setup in the Preferences screen. You can also launch KeyPad by selecting the device you want to connect to in the toolbar menu.
Most keys that you type on the computer will be sent to the connected device. There are keystrokes like Command – Tab which are defined for the Mac and will not go to the device. While it is technically possible to achieve that, the potential problems outweigh the benefit. For these cases, we have implemented Function – TAB (which does the same thing).
KeyPad supports Media Keys. But not all devices support those keys. While most of the keys work on the iPhone, they dont always work on other devices like TVs, Apple TV, etc. KeyPad does not have a way to detect what the device you have connected to. We provide a generic set of keys. Please try them out on your devices.
Wireless card for mac laptop. We find that there are some devices that don't connect (like Play Station 4, or LG TV), and connect intermittently (2012 TVs, and Play Station 3). Do let us know if a device works or does not.
