Description
On-screen keyboard, trackpad, media buttons and shortcuts.
2 modes: Overlay (for dual displays handheld - tested on AYN Thor) and IME (Android Input Method - works on all devices).
Tested with: RetroArch, Moonlight PC Streaming, Musicolet, VLC etc.
Notes & usage tips: - If inputs are not detected, press the "Input Focus" button. - In RetroArch, press "Scroll Lock" to toggle "Game Focus": Game Focus ON: Inputs are sent directly to the emulated system - you can type text, but RetroArch hotkeys won't work. Game Focus OFF: RetroArch hotkeys work, but typing text will trigger default hotkeys.
The trackpad is not a standard trackpad. It is designed specifically for mouse emulation in RetroArch, tested with DOSBox Pure, and also works with Moonlight PC Streaming.
Multiple layouts: US Windows keyboard, Numpad, Thomson MO5, Commodore 64, RetroArch shortcuts, Music media buttons, Video shortcuts, Trackpad.
Custom layouts: Buttons, shortcuts, text pasting. Import a built-in layout to edit it.
Custom themes: Change colors. Import a built-in theme to edit it.
Free and not monetized.
Recent changes: - New layout: Scaled Mouse - similar to Scaled Trackpad but keeping the position of the cursor like a mouse. - Improved the US0 layout with one more line. - Increased the max keys per line on custom layouts to 26 keys (requested). - Fixed the wrong scaling for trackpad.

Works very well, does what I need it to do, features that I would find helpful: 1. The ability to simplify the keyboard. - I have big fingers, and I'd like to remove a shift from the keyboard to be easier to type. 2. The retroarch pad made me realize there are plenty of additional keys I'd like bound to the quick pad menu. 3. Rotate the trackpad. - Found myself reading manga and turning my Ayn Thor to vertical to read, and using the mouse to zoom and pane. Controls are currently inverted.

Good app 👍 But can you add "ctrl/win/shift/alt" buttons on numpad screen or toggle/hold mode for it? This will help with shortcuts for text editing
★★☆☆☆Scott Drury· Apr 9, 2026
Good idea, poor execution. Useful for niche cases (like Winlator on AYN Thor), but flawed. The QWERTY keyboard is cramped and error-prone, making typing frustrating. No customization is a major issue—too many unnecessary keys and risky layout choices (especially in RetroArch). Let users adjust keys; current setup feels awkward and unreliable.
