If you use Rickey, you can input to a computer and perform various operations with the touch operation of your smartphone/tablet. Wireless connection with the computer to be operated via Bluetooth. Unlike a general on-screen keyboard, the soft keyboard is displayed on a separate screen, so you can use more of your computer's screen.
