Alternative Control Review: CheerTok Air

Review: CheerTok Air

I started my research with the CheerTok Air.

tl;dr - Basic functions work, but not all buttons do. Super tiny and portable makes it a good choice.

What I like:

  • Very tiny, fits in one hand so you can use it without a desk or table
  • Is also compatible with iPhone and iPad, so you can use it for multiple devices
  • Controls the Mac cursor in Mac Virtual Display

Alternative Control Devices for Apple Vision Pro

Alternative Control Devices for Apple Vision Pro

Last updated Feb. 11, 2026

The purpose of this gist is to document compatible Bluetooth devices that are not keyboards, trackpads, mice or game controllers that can be used to control Apple Vision Pro as if you had a trackpad or mouse connected.

Why Alt Devices?

The problem with using a Magic Keyboard, Magic Trackpad and holding tray is that it’s too expensive and way too much to travel with.

Inexpensive DIY Tray for Cooper Nomad Keyboard

I created this tray to better simulate its use as if it were a laptop keyboard. The benefit of this is that it reduces accidental taps on the trackpad by adding layers left and right of the trackpad.

It’s also sized to match the exact same size as a 13” MacBook base, all at a much more affordable price.

It also includes a metal stabilizer bar to prevent the Nomad from slipping backward or sliding around.

Finding a Keyboard + Trackpad Combo for Apple Vision Pro

Tested Options for Combination Keyboard + Trackpad for Apple Vision Pro

Credit to KhaosT's original post for inspiring this fork: https://gist.github.com/KhaosT/f1e0742872a4f7df5d32c1a7cfd61a8c

Updated February 11, 2026

With visionOS 2, support for Bluetooth mice and keyboards greatly expanded.

But support for combination keyboard + trackpad peripherals is still flaky. While most keyboards worked, trackpads were hit and miss. In researching this, I stumbled upon KhaosT's post. It hasn't been updated since Feburary 2024, so I forked his gist. I continue to look for reports of other keyboard + trackpad combos that work, and will update this gist as needed.
