Android keyboard · Closed beta
San Andreas, Vice City, Doom and PC games in Winlator all read cheats from a keyboard, but none of them will open one on your phone. CheatKeys is a keyboard you can pull up over any game. It types the code one key at a time.
Pro: tap a cheat and it's typed one key at a time, at the same speed the app uses.
01 — How it works
Enable CheatKeys in Android's keyboard settings. Keep Gboard, SwiftKey or whatever you use as your everyday keyboard.
Games never open a keyboard, so CheatKeys sits in your notifications. Tap it mid-game and the keyboard slides up over the game.
Type the code, or in Pro tap it once. Each key is held for 40 ms with a 60 ms gap, slow enough that games don't drop letters.
Hit 🌐 and you're on your regular keyboard again. CheatKeys stays out of the way until the next time.
Android doesn't let ordinary apps press keys inside another app. The only thing allowed to is the keyboard you've selected. So rather than a floating overlay or a root hack, CheatKeys is a real keyboard. Games take its key presses exactly as if you had a physical keyboard plugged in.
| Overlay apps | Root tools | CheatKeys | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sends real key presses to the game | No | Yes | Yes |
| Works without root or Shizuku | Yes | No | Yes |
| Nothing covering the game | No | Yes | Yes |
02 — The library
The cheats below ship with the app. Free lets you look them up; Pro puts each one on its own key, and switches to the right game for you.

No. CheatKeys is an ordinary Android keyboard. Android lets whichever keyboard you've selected send key presses to the app in front, so there's nothing to unlock, no ADB and no root.
Games never show a text box, so a keyboard can't pop up by itself. CheatKeys keeps a notification in your shade: swipe down, tap it, and the keyboard opens over the game. If another keyboard is active, the same tap lets you switch to CheatKeys.
Games read individual key presses, not pasted text, and some miss keys that arrive too fast. CheatKeys holds each key for 40 ms and waits 60 ms before the next one. A 7-letter code like HESOYAM takes under a second.
No. Keep Gboard, SwiftKey or Samsung Keyboard for everything else. Tap the 🌐 key in CheatKeys and you're straight back on it.
Cheats are built in for GTA San Andreas, Vice City and III, Doom and Doom II, Heretic, Hexen, Duke Nukem 3D, Quake, StarCraft, Warcraft III and Age of Empires I and II. That includes PC versions running in Winlator, Mobox or DOSBox. For anything else, type the code on the QWERTY keys.
One-tap keys for every built-in cheat, automatic switching to the tab for the game you're playing, your own custom codes, and no ads at all. Free has the full QWERTY keyboard and the cheat browser, with one banner ad on its home screen.
No. Neither edition shows ads in the keyboard or over other apps. The only ad is a banner on the Free app's own home screen.
