Virtual Keyboard and Mouse

[MrVader101]

Hi all

I have been looking around and don't think one exists, But thought i might ask anyway. Does any one know of a program i can put on my phone the will allow me to use the keyboard of my phone as a virtual keyboard for my PC and the touch screen as a mouse. through a wireless connection kind of like those remote control applications work. Sure would be a cool app to have. Would never have to get off the couch again.

cheers

1. here is a freeware app that works the opposite way (use your keyboard and mouse from your computer to control your PPC)

2. Search XDA-Devs for "bluetooth hid" and you will find a program that allows you to use a bluetooth mouse and keyboard with your win-mo phone

3. this program allows you to control certain applications from your PPC:

I have used this one, and it is the best and it does exactly what you want and more, plus it is free!!!!!!!!!!1 The only problem I have found is that it is pretty unreliable and loses connection and has to be re-paired with bluetooth a lot.

4. This one does exactly waht you are looking for, except it costs 12$:

5. logmein.com offers a free way to control your smartphone from your comp or vice-versa

6. If you have Vista, microsoft now has a SideShow client for windows mobile over bluetooth, so you can use your "gadgets" on your computer from your PPC.

7. If you want to spend a little money, you could always get the Logitech Dinovo Mini, I have it and it works great at controlling my PC, my PS3, and My pocket pc via bluetooth.

Or if you want something similar to the dinovo mini, you could go with this generic one:

If all else fails, you could always just use Remote Desktop from your PPC

How about the simple way of using VNC from RealVNC ? I use it from time to time, when I need to check something on my pc from the lunchroom @ work. I just use the VNC and use my work pc thru the wifi network.

It works great + it's free + it's 1 file open (no need for install so u can just keep it in your SD and make a link to programs if you want to.)
