Remote KeyPad and NumPad Pro 4+

I sort through thousands of photos at a time in Lightroom, rating them by hitting the 2 or 3 keys, along with a handful of others. Holding my hand over the physical keyboard is an ergonomic strain, so this app allows me to push the buttons I need right from my phone while my hands are on a more comfortable and natural position. I’ve designed four big buttons (by merging 4 little squares) so that i can fly through the photos with just my thumbs. I’m sure I’ll be coming up with lots of other uses for this elegant and customizable app.

I tried other apps and they did not input “+” and “-“ as if they’re coming from the numeric keypad. This one does! The ability to make custom keypads is a plus, though I did not see a way to change the size of the actual tile on the custom keypad. It is quite customizable though, and this is an area in which I could delve deeper. One caveat is the latency, but this is probably inevitable for an app like this. And in most cases, it won’t matter. All in all, it’s a solid app that can come in handy in a variety of situations.

I spend the majority of my time now doing flashcards with Anki/osmosis...so I was looking for something I could setup some commands for flash card mode so I can stare at my laptop a little farther away for long periods of time. Eye strain and all that. Other apps couldn’t get all the commands I wanted in or were awkward to use. This is exactly what I was looking for! Works great!

I do get a lot of weird looks in the library when I do this because I keep my phone down and it looks like I’m controlling it with my mind so thanks for making it look like I have superpowers ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
