Hello.
First of all very big thank you for this project.
How to enable physical keyboard and physical mouse simulation?

scrcpy supported physical keyboard and physical mouse simulation

Keyboard:

scrcpy --hid-keyboard
scrcpy -K  # short version

https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy#physical-keyboard-simulation-hid

Mouse:

scrcpy --hid-mouse
scrcpy -M  # short version

https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy#physical-mouse-simulation-hid

This feature is very important to control a device using a keyboard and a mouse
because on some devices impossible to enable an additional option

Thank you for your answer.

Hi.

HID support is a part of the scrcpy client (part that runs on pc/mac). In this project I use only the scrcpy server (runs on device).
To support HID in ws-scrcpy someone will need to reimplement this for node.js.

AFAIK this problem affects only xiaomi devices and is fixable by enabling two items in developer options.

can scrcpy-server accept hid commands if node is sending HID commands to web-sockets?

[drauggres]

It is not scrcpy-server, but Android itself handles commands.
Scrcpy client emulates physical mouse/keyboard.

[krishtoautomate]

will hid commands work on ios too?

[drauggres]

I don't know if it's possible to emulate HID for iOS (even in theory), but scrcpy uses Android Open Accessory Protocol which is platform specific.

I am able to connect wired mouse and keyboard to ios device and it is working without need of installing any software

AFAIK
When you connect mouse/keyboard to your device, the device acts as host (see USB OTG).
But when you connect device to a PC, device acts as client.
For android there is AOAv2 protocol which allows you to register HID. And look like there is nothing similar for iOS, I found only https://github.com/mringwal/hid-support, but it is old and requires jailbreak
