Requirements

What PcPad needs on the phone, on the PC and on your network.

Phone

  • Android 9 or later.
  • Bluetooth that can act as a keyboard (the Bluetooth HID device profile). Almost every phone can; a few makers switch it off. If yours did, PcPad says Not supported on Home.

PC

  • Windows 10 or 11 with Bluetooth, built in or from a USB adapter. That’s all the keyboard and touchpad need.
  • For Wi-Fi features: PcPad for Windows (64-bit).

Network (Wi-Fi features only)

  • The phone and the PC on the same network. The PC can be on Ethernet if it’s the same network.
  • Device-to-device traffic allowed. Guest networks and some office networks block it.
  • PcPad for Windows listens on TCP port 47200 and announces itself on the local network, so it can be found without typing an address. Allow it on private networks if Windows asks.
