About DS Keyboard

An on-screen keyboard, trackpad, media buttons and shortcuts on the bottom screen for dual-display handhelds - tested on the AYN Thor.

Tested with: RetroArch, Moonlight PC Streaming, Musicolet, VLC.

Notes & usage tips:
- If inputs are not detected, press the "Input Focus" button.
- In RetroArch, press "Scroll Lock" to toggle "Game Focus":
Game Focus ON: Inputs are sent directly to the emulated system - you can type text, but RetroArch hotkeys won't work.
Game Focus OFF: RetroArch hotkeys work, but typing text will trigger default hotkeys.

The trackpad is not a standard trackpad. It is designed specifically for mouse emulation in RetroArch, tested with DOSBox Pure, and also works with Moonlight PC Streaming.

Multiple layouts: US Windows keyboard, Numpad, Thomson MO5, Commodore 64, RetroArch shortcuts, Music media buttons, Video shortcuts, Trackpad.

19 themes colors included.

What’s new

Version 1.009 · Updated August 6, 2026

- New layout: Scaled Mouse - similar to Scaled Trackpad but keeping the position of the cursor like a mouse. - Improved the US0 layout with one more line. - Increased the max keys per line on custom layouts to 26 keys (requested). - Fixed the wrong scaling for trackpad.

Fantastic app on the AYN Thor. I use it for java Minecraft (via Amethyst launcher) and MTG Arena. My only wishlist items would be custom layouts and some sort of screen mirroring for the trackpad. The trackpad basically just mirrors touch inputs on it to the top screen, so having the top screen mirrored onto it woul...

one of the best keyboard application for the ayn Thor. the new features especially the retroarch hotkeys really complete the experience.

Great keyboard for the AYN Thor. One couple of requests: 1. Can you give users the ability to create a custom keyboard or the ability to rearrange buttons on the existing keyboards? 2. Can you create a true black theme for OLED panels? Keep up the good work!

Would love a more compact US Keyboard layout, and maybe a way to increase text size

I love this app on my ayn thor, it is super useful! I hope one day to see a mouse on the primary screen 👀 Or maybe a way to have the top screen displayed on both screens (bottom+top) It would be easier for me to click correctly 👀 maybe a super niche scenario
