Seriously debating whether I should brush up on my iOS skills to do this myself. If the software was more polished, I'd probably buy a few more sticks to make sure I have them when I need them. Before discovering inputstick, I was tossing around a home brew solution using a Raspberry Pi Zero W and a custom app. But it wasn't without frustration either. dictation (use voice recognition built in. macros (record actions in real time or use built-in editor) - group macros into customizable panels for easy access and single click execution. This is functional and saved my sanity on a project offsite today. USB Remote functionality: - keyboard (use your soft keyboard or custom keyboard screen) - mouse/touchscreen (3 buttons, scroll wheel) - presentation remote. And I would be 5+++ stars all the way if I had a watch app that I could configure easily with a top 5-10 list of one touch macros and a Mac app.Īt the moment, I'm torn. I would also love to see a functional iOS API and/or a published protocol so I could do it myself. I'd love to see a streamlined interface that integrates with popular password managers, adds one click macros, and enables the macros to do more (like type ctrl-alt-del, fetch a specific account from 1password, send the key strokes, and hit enter to log in).
If you follow these steps in order, you’ll create the first half of the structure you need to use Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac successfully.
It's great to be able to copy and then type from keyboard but the whole experience is a bit awkward. Before an Apple MacBook, iMac, or Mac Mini can access the resources on a Windows PC, you must allow a remote connection. Meets the minimum need but doesn't live up to potential yetįinally dropped money on an input stick to simplify the task of entering passwords from 1Password on devices I do not own. Supported USB host keyboard layouts: Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English (US, UK), Finnish, French (FR, BE, CA, CH), German (DE, CH), Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese (PT, BR), Russian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Vietnamese type: URLs, selected text and text from text files (via Share Extension)
For example: you can type long and complex command with just two clicks create and execute macros (pre-defined sequences of keyboard and mouse actions). control system volume and media playback type text directly from system clipboard use voice recognition for typing text in real-time directly to your PC type text from text area (allows word suggestions, autocorrection) send individual keys (using soft-keyboard) Just plug InputStick into USB port and after few seconds it is ready to go.
You don’t need to install custom drivers, additional software nor do any network configuration. More info: InputStick USB receiver works with all USB hosts that supports generic HID keyboard and mouse: PCs, consoles, embedded systems.
You will also need your computer with Mac OS or Windows OS (7 or higher) with an internet connection. *** InputStick USB receiver (Bluetooth 4.0) is required! App does NOT work over USB cable! *** When purchasing our Remote Control, you will get the RC, a USB/micro-USB cable, and a Type-C connector.
