Keepad keyboard and custom shortcuts on an iPad

One app. Four ways to take control.

  • Keyboard & mouse
  • Custom macros
  • MIDI control

From a tap to an action

Less navigating.
More doing.

Keep your attention on your work. Use taps, swipes, and labeled buttons to type, move the pointer, and trigger the shortcuts you use every day.

01

Give shortcuts a home.

Replace key combinations with a single labeled button, and keep your most-used actions together.

02

Make the layout yours.

Arrange custom controls around your individual workflow, with word suggestions to reduce typing.

03

Move between tasks.

Use layers for different workflows and automatic layer switching to bring relevant controls into view.

Before you get started

A few useful answers.

What do I need to use Keepad?

A Keepad dongle, the Keepad app on your iPhone or iPad, and a computer to control. The app and dongle work together.

Does it work with Mac, Windows, and Linux?

Yes. Keepad behaves like a standard keyboard and mouse. You can customize your shortcuts for the apps and operating system you use.

Is setup complicated?

Plug in the dongle, open the app, and pair them. You can then spend time arranging controls to suit your workflow. The setup guide walks through the details.

Does it feel responsive?

Keepad is designed for real-time keyboard, mouse, and macro input, so your taps and swipes become computer controls.

How is this different from Keepad Neo?

Keepad uses a USB dongle and works with Mac, Windows, and Linux, controlled from an iPhone or iPad. Keepad Neo is a software-only shortcut and MIDI surface for Mac and iPad, with a Mac companion app and no dongle.

What about shipping and returns?

Keepad is $39.99 per unit with free US shipping and a 30-day satisfaction guarantee with free returns.

Customer notes

A place in real workflows.

I've had the device for just under a year. Using it has given me a nice smooth workflow. Like all macro style adaptive equipment it takes some set up to make it truly your own.

I use Microsoft Office every day and it definitely helps binding certain formulas to a single key so I can input and adjust information much more quickly.

I am also trying to learn the art of MIDI and making music, this allows me to do that without having to buy a separate MIDI controller and I can change things around as I grow and learn.

My plan for the Keepad is pretty specific, and I'm still working on some other things with my online radio station.

Your Keepad dongle will be added very soon out of sheer necessity as we get more into this great hobby.
