★ USE YOUR PHONE AS A GAMEPAD
Full Xbox-style and PlayStation-style controller layouts with analog sticks, triggers, D-pad, bumpers, and ABXY buttons. Play any PC game with your phone as the controller. Tilt-to-steer for racing games. Floating joysticks for natural thumb placement. Fully customizable!

★ USE YOUR PHONE AS A KEYBOARD & MOUSE
Universal layout with a large touchpad for mouse control, WASD keys for FPS games, a full typing panel, and PC keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+C, Alt+Tab, etc.). Control your PC from the couch.

★ USE YOUR PHONE AS A TV REMOTE
Media Remote layout with volume up/down, play/pause, skip, and D-pad navigation. Control Netflix, YouTube, Plex, VLC, Kodi, or any media app on your Smart TV, Android TV, Fire TV, or PC.

★ USE YOUR PHONE AS A SLIDE CONTROLLER
Slide Controller layout for PowerPoint, Google Slides, Keynote, and Canva. Swipe to advance or go back. Buttons for fullscreen, black screen, white screen. Present wirelessly — no dongle needed.

★ USE YOUR PHONE AS A REMOTE MOUSE & TRACKPAD
Large touchpad surface with one-finger pointer movement, two-finger scrolling, double-tap left click, and dedicated mouse buttons. Navigate your desktop wirelessly.

★ BLUETOOTH HID — NO INSTALL ON HOST
Connect via Bluetooth HID with zero software needed on your PC, Mac, Linux, Android, or Smart TV. Just pair once from Bluetooth settings and you're ready. No companion app, no drivers, no setup.

★ WI-FI WITH WINDOWS COMPANION
We also provide a Wi-Fi connection path, by installing the free PocketPad Companion desktop app. Auto-discovery on your LAN, multiplayer support (multiple phones = multiple Xbox controllers), and the fastest input path.

★ MULTIPLAYER — COUCH CO-OP WITH PHONES
Multiple phones connect to one PC via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Each phone appears as a separate Xbox controller or keyboard (Gamepad 1, 2, 3...). Play couch co-op games without buying extra physical controllers.

★ FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE
Create custom layouts with the drag-and-edit layout editor. Resize and reposition every button, stick, trigger, and D-pad. Save profiles and switch between them. Copy built-in presets and customize.
