Control pad

Put music playback, volume, display brightness and a Copy shortcut on one Any Display panel. Follow real Mac app screenshots to create a profile and set each button’s action, icon and colors. You can prepare the layout before connecting a mobile device.

1. 1

   Sign in to the same account

   On the computer and mobile device, open Settings → Sign in. Use Google, Apple, Microsoft or email; on first launch, continue directly from the sign-in screen. Use the same provider and account on both devices, then verify the account name and access. Another account may not appear in device discovery. Complete the trial/license prompt on an unlicensed computer before connecting.

2. 2

   Create a profile in Control pad

   Open Control pad on the computer. Use the profile name above the preview → Add profile, enter Guide demo and confirm OK. Select existing profiles from the same menu. Changing the interface language does not translate saved profile names or key labels.

   

3. 3

   Choose a key and action

   Click an empty key to open its editor. Search under Keys → Search actions and assign an action to the selected key; dragging an action onto an empty key is also supported. Open URL, Shortcut, Open app, Type text and Media have different fields. Label is only the displayed name: verify the actual action separately.

4. 4

   Set Copy and Save

   Set Label to Copy on a Shortcut key. Record Command+C on Mac or Control+C on Windows and check the displayed combination. The Mac example shows MetaLeft + KeyC. A Copy label alone does not assign the shortcut. Press Save and check that the key appears in the preview.

   

5. 5

   Add Play/Pause and style the key

   Select another empty key and choose Play/Pause from the action list. Check Media & volume → Command → Play/Pause and Save. Change icon, Background, Label color and supported Icon color customize appearance. Match the icon and label to the actual action; use whichever colors suit your layout.

6. 6

   Layout, pages, haptics and sound

   Open the Settings gear and choose Layout. Reducing the grid may delete keys outside it: check the warning first. Inspect Landscape and Portrait previews and use Add page for another page. Set Haptic strength, Touch sound and Touch sound volume. Actual haptics depend on the tablet hardware.

   Connect the tablet and select the profile

   On the tablet open Control pad and press Connect beside the computer. Use the profile name at the top right to choose Guide demo. App-based automatic switching may initially choose another profile. Verify that the saved Copy and Play/Pause keys appear on the tablet.

   Verify the actions and disconnect

   Open a document app on the computer, select sample text and press Copy on the tablet. Paste on the computer to check the result; shortcuts go to the active app. Prepare music and test Play/Pause. Check page arrows and the profile menu. Finish with Back or Disconnect.

9. 9

   Profiles, pages and layout

   Profiles can be added, renamed, deleted and set as default. In settings, select apps for automatic switching or enter comma-separated bundle IDs/executable names. Custom names stay unchanged when the language changes. Select landscape or portrait, manage pages and choose a 3×2, 4×2 or 5×3 grid. Reducing the grid can delete buttons outside it; check the warning.

    Every action and its fields

    Shortcut records the actual key combination; Open app selects an installed app; Open URL needs its address; Type text stores text for the focused input. Media commands include playback, previous/next, volume, speaker mute and microphone mute. macOS actions include display/keyboard brightness, Mission Control, App Exposé, Show Desktop, Spotlight, lock, screenshots and screen recording. Availability depends on OS and hardware. Multi Action runs an ordered list with millisecond delays; it cannot contain another Multi Action.

    OBS plugin settings

    Install the OBS plugin, open its detail page and select settings. Match host, port and password to the WebSocket server settings in OBS. Enable the connection and check its status and scene count before using the plugin controls. Stream, recording and microphone alerts are configured here.

12. 12

    Plugins and appearance

    Install a plugin from its detail page. Adding it to the pad creates an app-launch button in the current profile and a dedicated control profile. Plugin-owned buttons cannot be edited like local buttons. Removing the plugin also removes its associated profiles and buttons. For local buttons, choose a built-in icon, app icon or PNG. Set background and label colors; built-in icons can also be recolored. Speaker and microphone mute buttons have separate on/off icons. Copy/paste reuses a button; check the action and save.

13. 13

    Haptics and touch sounds

    Choose Click, Toggle, Page, Hold, Soft or None for each button. Settings offers low, medium or high haptic strength; actual feedback depends on the device. Choose a touch sound or None and adjust volume. Selecting a sound plays a preview. Keep sounds from interfering with your microphone during calls.
