Taiwanese computer accessories brand j5create has created a cute astronaut dongle that bridges iOS, Android, Windows laptops and tablets into one.

The company markets it as a “touch co-sharing dongle,” but that description only scratches the surface of its full feature set.

Beyond cross-platform

In fact, JUAW22 AERO DROP CrossLink Wireless Dongle With Windows, iPadOS, iOS, and Android, you can:

• Cross-platform file sharing
• Mirror your phone screen to your laptop
• Keyboard and mouse sharing
• Turn your tablet into a second display (by extending or mirroring)
• Use iPad as a stylus drawing pad for other platforms (like Windows)

With this combination, JUAW22 alleviates multiple cross-platform issues in one device. Using your Windows-based laptop or desktop as your main interface, you can connect your iPhone, iPad, Android tablet, or Android smartphone to access your files while using a single keyboard, mouse, and stylus on a large screen. It also eliminates the need to purchase a portable display since you can use a tablet instead.

The dongle has both USB-C and USB-A connections and works with most Windows laptops. To prepare your device for this dongle, you must install software on your iOS/Android device (via the app) and Windows device (via the Microsoft Store) before using these interactive tools.

Another attractive feature of the JUAW22 is its height and weight of only 30.5 mm. 34gPortable enough for hotdesking users. Since it is a USB device, it does not require a dedicated AC/DC power supply and does not have a built-in battery, so there is no need to charge it. We also appreciate that the dongle is shaped like a small astronaut, as it helps make a high degree of interoperability feel more appealing to a wider group of users.
