DexoPad
Cross-Device Keyboard, Mouse & Macros — Anywhere.
A pocket-sized USB dongle that turns your phone — or another PC — into a wireless keyboard, touchpad, and macro controller for any computer. Zero drivers. Zero install. Just plug and type.
See DexoPad in action
One tiny dongle — keyboard, mouse, touchpad, and macros across every device.
One Device. Two Ways to Drive It. Anywhere.
How It Works
Three seconds. That's all it takes to turn your phone into a universal controller.
Plug In
Slot DexoPad into any USB-A or USB-C port on the target machine.
Tap Connect
Open the app on your phone or PC. Bluetooth pairing in 1 tap, or WiFi for remote control.
Start Typing
Host sees a standard USB keyboard. No drivers, no setup, no admin rights.
Three Things That Make DexoPad Stand Alone
Not just another wireless keyboard replacement. DexoPad is fundamentally different.
Zero Host-Side Install
The controlled machine sees DexoPad as a standard USB keyboard. No drivers. No pairing. No companion software.
Pay Once, Forever Yours
Every feature on this page is yours, free, for the life of the device. No subscriptions. No paywalls. What you back, you keep.
AI Voice + Macros + Anti-Sleep
Three signature features no competitor offers together — and several none of them offer at all — in one pocket-sized device.
Full TouchPad
Left, right, middle click. Two-finger scroll. Drag-and-drop. Your phone becomes a precision trackpad — no physical mouse needed.
Text Input
Type on your phone or PC; every character lands on the host as a real HID keystroke. Long search queries, command-line one-liners, email replies — drafted in one place, sent as a single stream.
Common Shortcuts
Ctrl/Cmd + C/V/X/Z, Tab, Esc, function keys, full navigation cluster — one tap from phone or a one-click row on the PC app. Copy, paste, undo, save, switch tab without two-handed thumb gymnastics.
Native Keyboard
Full QWERTY with modifiers, arrows, and the complete function-key row from the phone. On PC, your computer’s own physical keyboard does the job in Mouse mode.
WiFi Remote Control
After local Bluetooth pairing, control the host from anywhere with internet — across the house, office, or country, via our global cloud relay. WiFi remote is input-only — pair with your usual remote-desktop tool for tasks that need to see the screen.
iOS/Android at launch; PC-side WiFi post-launch.
OTA Updates
Dongle firmware and apps (phone + PC) all update over the air. Your DexoPad keeps getting better after shipment — fixes, new features, and broader language support all ship free.
AI Voice Input
Speak; AI transcribes and formats — hands-free emails, docs, code comments. Powered by OpenAI’s speech-to-text + text models. 100 min free per device on first activation, then pay-as-you-go.
Phone only · 100 min free, then pay-as-you-go.
Hardware Anti-Sleep
Real HID input from the dongle keeps the host awake through overnight builds, downloads, and remote sessions. No OS service, no driver, no admin rights — for hosts where you can’t (or won’t) install a wake-lock service.
Customizable Macro Keyboards
Four pre-built panels (Default / Windows / macOS / Linux) plus a fully editable custom panel. Chain Key / Delay / Text steps visually — no scripts. Anything you type more than three times a week becomes one button.
Macro panels on the desktop client will be evaluated after launch based on demand; if greenlit, every unit gets the update free.
Universal Host Compatibility
Anything that takes a wired USB keyboard works. PCs, Macs, Raspberry Pi, Android tablets, iPads — plus BIOS and boot-loader screens.
The dongle side is genuinely universal — no driver, no pairing, no software on the host.
A Day with DexoPad
Nine moments. One day. One DexoPad. From morning coffee on the couch to a late-night match — every host, every room, every input mode is handled by the same pocket-sized dongle.
Phone Controls PC from the Couch
big-screen sofa work
Coffee in one hand, phone in the other. The study PC is screen-mirrored to the TV — the big screen is your real workspace. Dictate to inbox, or switch to Text Input and type into the host live.
AI Agent Studio · One Master, N Slaves
PC-to-PC fleet
Master PC on your lap; agent rig, training box, dev/test box on the desk — each with its own DexoPad on USB. Forward keys + mouse to whichever slave you point at. One keyboard for the whole fleet.
Boardroom · Roaming Presenter
walk the aisle
Phone in your hand drives the deck — advance slides, scrub video, switch tabs, fire macros from anywhere in the room. No podium walk-back, no "could someone click next?".
Cafe · Wake the Home PC from the Road
remote wake-up
Remote-desktop tool can't reach the home PC — it slept at noon. Swipe DexoPad on your phone → host wakes → your remote tool takes over from there. The wake-up step every remote tool is missing.
Desk · Macro Deck Kicks In
12 keys in one tap
Typing the same 12-step command the fourth time today. One macro fires git pull + npm install + npm run dev. Slack templates, code signatures, ffmpeg pipelines — anything repeated.
Creative Desk · Phone as 2nd Touchpad
Photoshop · Premiere · IDE
Plug DexoPad into the PC, phone next to the keyboard → phone becomes a second customizable touchpad + shortcut panel for design / edit / code workflows.
Home · Offline Host Fix
no host network needed
Freshly-flashed Pi with no network, a laptop stuck at BIOS, a router needing factory-reset. DexoPad pairs over local Bluetooth and types as wired USB HID. Find the command on ChatGPT, one-tap paste it into the offline host as real keystrokes.
Help Desk · Phone → Phone
"the app won't open"
A parent calls. They plug DexoPad into their phone's USB-C port. You can now type and tap into their phone from anywhere — paired with a regular screen-share app, you have input + view together. Far more reliable than "tell me what to tap".
Night · Gaming, Two Ways
phone OR main keyboard
Phone as a macro pad for quick combos (PASS / SPRINT / SHOOT), or your work PC's trackpad + keyboard reaches across the desk to the gaming rig — no unplug-and-replug, no second keyboard.
For forty years, the keyboard told you where your desk was. DexoPad reverses it: your desk is wherever you are — sofa, café, boardroom, server closet, the kid's room at midnight. Not just faster input. Borderless input — the missing primitive the AI age has been waiting for.

Raw Shell — No Paint, No Compromise
We evaluated the painted-vs-raw shell decision after clearing the stretch goal. We landed on raw injection-molded ABS — no paint.
Paint Chips and Scratches
These dongles get carried, plugged, unplugged, dropped, pocketed for years. A painted shell looks great on day one, but over time the metallic coating chips and scratches. Raw ABS holds up far better — the color goes all the way through.
Metallic Paint Attenuates Wireless
Metallic paint can weaken BLE signal. For a BLE-driven dongle, raw ABS avoids this tradeoff entirely — stronger connection, more reliable pairing, no need to choose between looks and function.
Every unit gets the same raw ABS shell. This applies to all tiers and stretch goals. The finish is uniform across every unit shipped, regardless of which tier you choose.
We Ship Worldwide
