Setup with instructions A family member or helper can usually get this working by following the written documentation, but it involves hardware, software, and Bluetooth pairing across more than one device. That makes it more than a plug-and-play product, so it fits guided setup.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

RelayKeys lets one computer send keystrokes and mouse movements to other devices over Bluetooth, so those devices think a regular keyboard and mouse are connected. It's aimed at people who depend on one dedicated system, like an eye gaze setup, but need to use other computers, tablets, or phones for work or fun. It works over Bluetooth rather than a shared network, which matters in schools and offices where network sharing isn't allowed. It's open source and runs as software on the main computer plus Bluetooth hardware, with a couple of hardware options. Expect to build or set up the hardware and install software, so it suits someone comfortable following technical documentation.

    3. Pair the target tablet, phone, or computer to RelayKeys the way you would pair any Bluetooth keyboard.
    4. Expect about an hour or more, depending on your comfort with software installs.
