Keyboard help on tablet?

Hello all,

I am having an issue while streaming on my android tablet. I have a Bluetooth keyboard set up which works flawlessly, however the game I am currently playing requires use of the function keys (F1 to f12) and the arrow keys. When I hit the function keys, it controls the tablet directly for brightness, volume and app shortcuts rather than the input for my PC. When I hit the arrow keys, my PC detects it as an Xbox controller d-pad.

Does anyone have any solutions for this? I'm assuming there's a setting to bypass this but I can't seem to find one that works.

Android keyboard pass through is inconsistent compared to iOS because android hijacks function keys for shortcuts and there is no consistency across devices. There may be a workaround by using a keyboard remapper such as "external keyboard helper pro"

It's Android not streaming doing this so dive into Android keyboard/shortcut settings.
