Your Phone Is the Only Remote You Need: Turn Android into a Bluetooth Keyboard, Mouse & Presenter with BL - Air Input
Turn your phone into a Bluetooth keyboard, mouse, presenter and TV remote — with no software on the other device.
Ever been here? You're about to present and can't find the clicker. You're on the couch and the TV remote has vanished. You need to type just a few words on your laptop but it's out of reach.
BL - Air Input solves all of that at once. It turns your Android phone into a keyboard, mouse, presentation remote and TV remote over the standard Bluetooth HID profile — and the PC, laptop or TV you connect to needs nothing installed at all. No receiver, no drivers, no companion software — pair, connect, and you're ready.
Step one: how to connect over Bluetooth to your PC or TV
This kind of "phone as keyboard & mouse" app connects in the opposite way to a regular Bluetooth headset — instead of your phone searching for the other device, you let the other device find your phone. The first connection is easy if you follow these steps:
- Open BL - Air Input and tap "Add Device".
- Your phone shows a system dialog — allow it to be discoverable (so your phone is temporarily visible to others).
- On your computer or TV, open Bluetooth settings and pick your phone's name from the device list.
- Confirm the pairing code on both sides, and the app will show "Connected".
💡 Tip: Always start pairing from your Windows PC, Mac or TV (pick your phone in their Bluetooth settings) — not by searching from the phone. Once paired, the device appears in the app's device list — just tap it to connect next time.
After connecting, the bottom tabs let you switch freely between keyboard, mouse, presenter, TV remote and more. You can also tap the star next to a device to set it as your "default", and the app will automatically try to connect to it on the next launch.
Scenario 1: In the meeting room, your phone is the presentation clicker
Walk into the meeting room, connect your phone to your laptop, open BL - Air Input and switch to the "PPT" tab — now you have a professional presentation remote:
- Previous / Next — big buttons, so you won't mis-tap even while standing
- Laser pointer, pen and eraser — point out and draw on your slides directly
- Fullscreen, black screen, white screen — go black with one tap when you want all eyes on you
- Jump to page — type a page number to jump straight to any slide
No need to carry a separate physical clicker — just set your phone on the table and run the room.
Scenario 2: On the couch, your phone is the TV remote
Got an Android TV or Google TV? Open BL - Air Input, switch to the "TV" tab, and you've got D-pad navigation, OK, Home, Back and Menu, plus volume keys and a voice-assistant button — the tab is designed for the Android TV / Google TV remote layout, so you've got everything you need to drive your TV from the couch.
And because it all runs over the standard Bluetooth profile, there's nothing to install on the TV — just pair and go.
Scenario 3: At the desk, your phone is your keyboard and trackpad
Can't reach the laptop keyboard, or want to control your computer from the couch? BL - Air Input gives you a complete full-size keyboard with a number row, F1–F12 function keys and arrow keys, and lets you switch between QWERTY, numpad and symbol panels.
Need a mouse? Switch to the "Mouse" tab for a large trackpad with left/middle/right buttons and two-finger scrolling — smooth and natural.
Even accented letters for European languages, currency, math, arrows and more are no problem — the "Special" tab covers eight symbol categories and sends them the correct way for Windows, macOS and Linux.
And when you're watching or listening on your computer, the "Media" tab gives you play, pause, track skip, volume and browser keys to control any media player.
Power feature: build your own custom key interface
This is one of BL - Air Input's most powerful features. You can build your own button pages, turning the shortcuts you press every day — like Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, Del, Insert, or any combo you use for work, editing or gaming — into big one-tap buttons.
- Free layout — customize the number of rows and columns on each page; place as many buttons as you like, however you like
- Multi-key combos — bind a modifier (Ctrl / Shift / Alt) plus up to 6 keys to a single button
- Multiple pages — build a separate page for each app or scenario and switch when you need it
Turn your most-used actions into dedicated buttons on your phone, and your workflow gets a whole lot smoother.
