Using an Android device for Windows based PC macro or shortcuts

[The Mad Atheist]

Bought a BT numpad to map shortcuts for Gimp to and thought about using a tablet or smartphone as one.
Anyone tried something like this? Like to use it over Bluetooth or USB.

They have android apps which expose the device as a HID device (kb/joystick/etc) over usb, maybe bluetooth, too.

I think Streamdeck has an app for mobile devices for the purpose you are looking for. Devices have to be on the same network though.

Ya, I see Deckboard and Macro Deck, I want to see if I can more for art tool shortcuts, maybe with a jog wheel.

thanks, but, way too pricey. Reminds me of Optimus pads back in the day with their OLED keys.

Oh, didn't realize it was a subscription service for the app.
Ya, I wanted one of those Optimus keyboards, but $1000+ was way too much for me.
