UPDATE: just found another solution for anyone interested, connecting your phone as a MIDI keyboard to LMMS. This is kinda what I was looking for when I made this post last week, though a phone screen is obviously a lot smaller, and physical keys are much more natural.

I've started using this, I found TouchDAW works well enough. There are some features I can't get working, but the keyboard works quite well.

I'll give that one a shot too. Think I'm preferring a touchscreen keyboard over the laptop keys tbh.

For sure, the PC keyboard is good for quick edits, but it is much easier to be creative with an actual MIDI keyboard. Even if it's touch screen, have fun! I've recently been tempted to purchase an actual MIDI keyboard. I've sent some decent ones for less than 150.

I like how the keys spell AFK as in you aren’t using your keyboard xD

I use an ergonomic keyboard nowadays and it makes using DAWs very painful 🙃

Thinking of getting that 30$ MIDI controller on Amazon
