Anki Clicker iPad Setup Layout
We've included two pre-programmed modes in the Anki Remote. Here's how to access and differentiate between the two modes:
To switch between modes:
- Locate the mode labels on the back of the Anki Remote.
- If the mode bar is positioned upwards, the remote is in GAME mode.
- If the mode bar is positioned downwards, the remote is in KEY mode.
KEY MODE
KEY mode is set up this way for the visual learners who would like their Anki Remote answer keys to roughly resemble the spatial location of Anki.
GAME MODE
GAME mode is set up this way for the Anki people who want their answer choices to go clockwise. Notice that both in Game and Key mode, the Spacebar and Good mode are closest to the center. This is important to shorten TDT (thumb distance traveled)

The Anki Remote is working wonderfully. It works great to take my iPad to the gym, set it on the treadmill, and just be able to run normally while I do cards. Thanks! -Aidan (med student)
