How do i remotely type on hyprland from a android device?

I recently switched to hyprland and noticed kde connect wasnt typing what i type from my tablet. Its really hard to type on a physical keyboard due to my disablity. Any suggestions?

Kde connect is pretty good for this, but im upset with how difficult it is to disable on both android + linux.
There's an open issue here from Mar 13, 2023 : https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/issues/1775 One commenter writes that it works on Sway but not hyprland.
- Yes. I saw that
Lately I switch between connect, unified remote, and steam link for the same reason. I also have a backup mini wireless keyboard for when none of them want to work right.
I can type using sunshine!
- Does that only work on NVIDIA?
  
  Not for a while now, I continued to use it after switching to AMD. It's regularly being updated, give it a try.
Would VNC solve your issue? I use https://github.com/any1/wayvnc with Hyprland occasionally.
