Cordless: Bluetooth remote
Loading..

?? TRY IT FREE FIRST. Pair your phone and test the free keyboard
and touchpad with the device you want to control. Only buy Pro once
that works: most setups pair fine but some don't and nothing can
tell in advance. Pro adds features - it can't make a device
pair.
Cordless turns your Android phone into a wireless keyboard touchpad media remote and game controller for your PC laptop tablet TV box or HTPC. It uses Android's built-in Bluetooth HID support so your phone pairs like an ordinary Bluetooth keyboard - nothing to install on the other device.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
- Keyboard: a full on-screen keyboard with modifiers a quick text-input bar and 300+ host keyboard layouts.
- Share to type: share text from any app and Cordless types it on the other device.
- Touchpad: a smooth mouse pad with left middle and right buttons two-finger scroll and a scroll strip.
- Media keys: play/pause volume and other media controls.
- Remotes: build your own button layouts - a media remote a presentation clicker or app shortcuts.
- Gamepad: on-screen sticks D-pads and buttons for PC and Android games.
- Custom layout editor: place buttons freely - shapes sizes colours borders icons - and assign any keyboard media mouse or gamepad action.
- Themes: restyle your controls with built-in presets or save your own.
- Macros: record a sequence of key presses once and reuse it on any button.
- Backup & restore: export your whole setup to a file and bring it back any time.
HOW IT CONNECTS
Cordless uses the native Android Bluetooth HID device role so the other device sees a standard Bluetooth keyboard mouse and gamepad. To connect the first time open your computer or TV's own "Add a Bluetooth device" screen and pick your phone. If the two were paired before unpair them on both sides first. After that Cordless reconnects automatically.
DEVICE COMPATIBILITY
Two devices have to cooperate: your phone and the device you want to control. Most combinations work some don't and there is no reliable way to tell in advance.
Reliable: Windows PCs and laptops Macs Linux Android phones and tablets.
Known not to work:
- Some Xiaomi phones including Redmi and POCO (same MIUI/HyperOS software). The sign: you start pairing from your computer and the phone shows "Incorrect PIN or passkey". The computer may still look paired but nothing works. No app can fix this - it is in the phone's own Bluetooth firmware below what apps can touch. The same app pairs fine on other brands such as Samsung.
- Chromecast with Google TV which won't pair with a phone acting as a keyboard.
Hit and miss: TVs streaming boxes and some other devices. Some manufacturers only allow specific Bluetooth devices to pair - earphones and earbuds their own remote sometimes a game controller - and refuse everything else. Others work perfectly. Trying is the only way to find out.
Please report what does and doesn't work on your own devices.
USING THE GAMEPAD ON A COMPUTER
The gamepad connects as a standard Bluetooth controller and works natively on Android. On Windows and macOS most games only accept Xbox (XInput) controllers so run it through Steam Input or a tool like x360ce reWASD or DS4Windows. This applies to generic controllers in general not just Cordless.
