Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference to kick off June 10 at 10 a.m. PDT with Keynote address

The Keynote will be available to stream on apple.com, the Apple Developer app, the Apple TV app, and the Apple YouTube channel. On-demand playback will be available after the conclusion of the stream.

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Keynote remote

I have an iPad and iPhone, and have successfully paired them to use my iPhone as a remote control for a Keynote presentation on the iPad. Good.


However, is there a way to use a run-of-the-mill $20 remote as a remote? Use that instead of the iPhone.


In short, if I preferred to use a generic remote to control a Keynote presentation on iPad, is that possible?

Thanks.

iPad Air (4th generation)

iPad and iPhone can connect to Bluetooth or wi-fi remote controls

BlueTooth remotes do not use a USB dongle


When using a wi-fi remote for that specific iPad, you will need the Apple USB-C to USB adapter to connect the USB receiver to the iPad.
