Controller · Keyboard & touchpad
Your phone or tablet, your Mac’s keyboard and touchpad
Turn an Android phone or tablet into a keyboard and touchpad for your Mac. Move the pointer, scroll and type while watching the Mac’s screen. Controller uses Decky Display without streaming a picture to that device. Connect over Wi-Fi or Direct USB.
Support: Use a phone or tablet as a ControllerA touchpad wherever you put it
Slide one finger to move the Mac’s pointer. Lift and reposition your hand to keep going. Tap to click, hold to drag, tap with two fingers to right-click, and move two fingers to scroll.
The gestures your Mac already knows
Pinch to zoom and turn two fingers to rotate in apps that support it. Three- and four-finger swipes follow the gesture settings you chose on your Mac. Change those settings and Decky follows.
Keyboard when you need it
Automatic opens the keyboard when a Mac text field has focus. Always keeps it ready. Never makes the device a touchpad only. A tablet gives you a large keyboard and a spacious pad; the pad stays usable while you type.
Set the feel
Adjust Pointer speed, Scroll speed and Scroll inertia on this device. Cross a large Mac screen from a small phone, or slow the pointer down for careful work. The screen device keeps its own settings.
Scroll along an edge
Optional strips at the right and bottom edges let one finger scroll. Each has its own switch and starts off. Where your finger lands decides the action; crossing the boundary during a stroke does not change it.
Pick up another Controller
Keep another phone or tablet connected as a Controller. Use its pad to take over from the first, without reconnecting. One Controller drives the Mac at a time.
