Virtual Bluetooth® keyboard and mouse

Update (2012-06-27) — see bottom of page

The hidclient program makes a Bluetooth® technology equipped computer appear as a Bluetooth® keyboard and mouse device to other machines. Input events (like keystrokes and mouse movements) of the locally attached input devices will be forwarded to another machine via the Bluetooth® link.

For the counterpart (which might be a Linux PC, a Win PC, a PDA. ) there is no technical difference to «real» Bluetooth® input devices.

• A Linux PC (or laptop, possibly a PDA would do. ) that runs the Bluez Software. Most distributions should supply this.
• A Bluetooth® dongle (USB-Stick. ) for this machine
• Another device that is able to handle Bluetooth® input devices: A PC, PDA or similar (not necessarily running Linux!)
• The bluez header files (for compiling the sources)
• The hidclient source code (see below).

tar -xjf hidclient-20060725.tar.bz2 

make cp hidclient /usr/local/bin cp hid-sdp-record.bin /etc/bluetooth/ 

Both hidclient and hidd regularly use the same «port» (PSM), thus you need to stop hidd first. It is not the specification that requires the imperative usage of the same port number, but there are devices that refuse to communicate over non-standard PSM. There also was a version of a Windows-stack that would not work with alternative PSM numbers.

• Change to a text console (optional) by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 (. F6) On those text-only consoles stray input events will do the least harm: While running hidclient the Linux machine will also receive the mouse and keyboard events while forwarding them.
• Start hidclient

You should get a list of event-devices that hidclient will accept input events from, along with a notice that hidclient waits for an incoming connection.

• Activate a «device search» on the other machine — it should detect the virtual keyboard. Use the regular mechanism for connection the remote machine to the hidclient PC — this should also give a «connection» message on the hidclient machine.
• Press keys, move the mouse: This should yield reaction on the remote machine.
• To disconnect (from the hidclient side) press the Pause key on the keyboard (might be labelled Interrupt instead). This is the means for cleanly shutting down the connection. To stop hidclient at the same time you can also use the key combination LeftCtrl+LeftAlt+Pause .

Where to get the necessary files?

• hidclient-2006-0725.tar.bz2 — Archive including all necessary files
• hid-sdp-record.bin — The (binary) descriptor for the virtual device
• hidrecord.txt — The textual explanation of that descriptor
• hidclient.c — The source code proper

What am I allowed to do with this program?

Well, you may use it, read the source code, give the files to other people, change it — basically anything provided you stay within the limits of the GNU General Public License version 2 (or any later version, at your choice).

This program is «free software» (both as in speech and in beer), you do not need to pay any royalties for using it. Keep with the GPL.

hidclient is verified to work on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS / amd64. There have been a few updates and feature additions:

• Command-line parameter «-l» to list input devices
• -e to ONLY bind to device Number NUM (see -l List)
• -x will «mute» the device(s) for X11 so you can start hidclient while having a X11 session.
• -fFIFONAME will read data from a FIFO instead of event devices.

New source file can be found in tar archive.

Slightly different installation instructions:

Unpack archive. Compile hidclient.c with

gcc -o hidclient -O2 -lbluetooth -Wall hidclient.c 

You don’t need to copy anything into /etc/bluetooth. Might be a good idea to edit /etc/bluetooth/main.conf and set «DisabledPlugins=input» there, and «Class=0x000540» — that helps identifying the device as a «keyboard». Now run

to list the available input devices. If you have for example two usb mice and want to export only one (while working locally on the other), select the ID number from the first column.

where 4 is the number of your mouse. Hidclient will wait for bluetooth connections. The mouse should stop working on the local PC, so it will not interfere with your normal computer usage while it is connected to another device.

With the -x parameter, you can ignore the «openvt» mentioned above.

You can use an Android device as a Bluetooth mouse or keyboard without installing anything on the connected device. This works for Windows laptops, Macs, Chromebooks, smart TVs, and nearly any platform you could pair with a regular Bluetooth keyboard or mouse. Here’s how. Using a phone or tablet as a wireless keyboard or mouse isn’t a new idea. However, the downside to many solutions is that they require software on both ends. You need an app on your phone or tablet and a companion app on the receiving device. RELATED: How to Use Your Smartphone as a Mouse, Keyboard, and Remote Control for Your PC The method that we’ll show you only requires an app on your Android phone or tablet. The receiving device will then connect to it just like any other Bluetooth keyboard or mouse. It’s a lot easier to set up and use.

• Android 4.4 or higher
• Apple iOS 9, iPadOS 13, or higher (only Keyboard supported)
• Windows 10 or Windows 8 or higher
• Chrome OS

First, download Serverless Bluetooth Keyboard & Mouse for PC/Phone from the Google Play Store on your Android phone or tablet.

Open the app and you’ll be greeted with a message asking to make your device visible to other Bluetooth devices for 300 seconds. Tap “Allow” to begin.

Next, select the three-line hamburger menu icon in the top-left corner to open the menu.

Choose “Bluetooth Devices” from the menu.

Tap the floating “Add Device” button in the bottom-right corner of the screen.

Now, you’ll need to make sure that the receiving device is in Bluetooth pairing mode. Typically, you can enter pairing mode by opening the receiving device’s Bluetooth settings. For Windows 10, open the Settings menu and go to Devices > Bluetooth & Other Devices.

Back in the Android app, you’ll see the device appear in the searching menu. Select it to proceed.

You’ll be asked to make sure that the pairing code matches on both devices. Accept the menus on both devices if the codes match up.

Once your Android device has been successfully connected, you can tap “Use This Device.”

You’re now looking at a trackpad. Simply drag your finger around the screen to move the mouse on the receiving device.

To enter text, tap the keyboard icon in the top-right corner of the screen. You don’t need to enter the text box in the app to use the keyboard. Simply start pressing keys.

That’s all there is to it. Again, this works on nearly any platform with Bluetooth 4.0 or higher. You can use it with an iPad on the go, connected to your smart TV, or on a computer. It’s a handy tool to have.

KeyPad — Bluetooth Keyboard 4+

This programme is just marvelous. Control of the iphone pointer via the Mac’s trackad is a bit slow in response, so this requires getting used to, but it gets the work done. It makes it possible to use the iPhone as webcam and have control over zoom and lighting when you use for NDI’s free webcam programme. Admirable.
