If you have reached this page from the KeyPad app you have got the keyboard working. If you have not got keyboard working yet, please check out the support page.
I respond to all support requests. The only way I can find out if something is wrong is when a user tells me. Please send me email at tools@toolbunch.com.
Press Control+Option with KeyPad window active to trigger the mouse. This will move your mac mouse cursor to the bottom of the KeyPad window. You will not be able to move the mouse on the Mac till you press Control + Option again. You can change the hotkey in Settings.
Using the mouse/trackpad with the iPad
Enable mouse for the iPhone
The iPhone does not have the Mouse feature available by default. On the iPhone you need to go to:
Settings | Accessibility | Touch | Assistive TouchAnd enable “Assistive Touch”
You may also consider: enabling Full Keyboard Access. This makes interacting with the iPhone much easier.
Settings | Accessibility | KeyboardsAnd turn on “Full Keyboard Access”
Please check the device support page for devices that KeyPad works with (and does not). Mouse is not supported by all devices. Please let me know if you face any issues.

Mouse is too slow
Some customers are reporting that the mouse is too slow. I don’t have any explicit method to control the mouse speed. It is likely the device you want to control already has some configuration settings to be able to adjust the mouse speed.
For example:
On the Meta Quest, go to Settings | Devices | Mouse and adjust the mouse tracking speed.
If this is the first time you have setup KeyPad
With the keypad window active, press control + option key together, and then release them. This will toggle the mouse feature.
Now any movements that you make with the Mouse or Trackpad will be sent to the connected device. The mouse cursor will stop moving on the Mac.
To turn off the mouse, press control + option again. The mouse cursor will start moving on the Mac again.
Please remember to close the settings app in the iPhone or iPad. And also close the System Preferences on the Mac. For some reason, having these apps open degrades bluetooth performance for the mouse.
