You know that you can use your mobile phone, be it Android or iOS, as a wireless mouse for Windows, Linux and Mac over Wi-Fi?
If your mouse on your computer breaks and until you go to the shops to buy a new one you can use your mobile phone. The solution is easy and can very well be used to test the flexibility of your mobile. All you need to do is select a compatible app. In this article we will discuss about the free app Remote Mouse.
Remote Mouse is a favorite of Android users and is one of the most popular applications in this category. It can work as a mouse (transmitter) on Android and iOS phones, and on an iPad tablet, and as a device that accepts the mouse (receiver) on anything running Windows, Linux or Mac.
Δεν προσομοιάζει μόνο ένα ποντίκι, αλλά μπορεί να "γίνει" κάλλιστα πληκτρολόγιο, touchpad ή και control panel για εφαρμογές (play, pause, stop κλπ). Η εγκατάσταση της εφαρμογής τόσο στο πομπό όσο και στην δέκτη, μπορεί να διαφέρει από λειτουργικό σε λειτουργικό, αλλά κατά βάση είναι περίπου τα ίδια και λειτουργεί εκπληκτικά καλά.
Let's look at an example with an Android phone and a Windows computer.
1. To install the wireless mouse on your mobile, go to Google Play Store and download it from here. Install it like all applications coming from the Google Store.
2. Go to your Windows desktop or tablet computer, open a browser and download this link and install the application. After installing the application will run automatically and logically you should see an icon in the taskbar.
Note : the above instructions concern the specific functionalities. If you have something different enter here, press the "Get Now" button and in the pop-up window select your systems.
3. Connect Android and Windows
First, open the Remote Mouse application on your Android device. Once opened, the application will give you a reminder to install the corresponding program on your computer (do it if you have not already downloaded it).
Then turn to your mobile phone, go through the 4 instruction windows and press the "OK,I got it" button to enter the application. The Android app will try to find your Windows PC over Wi-Fi. When it detects your computer, click the computer name.
You are logged in.
4. Skip the 5 pages of instructions on your mobile phone, but not fast because these instructions are basic on how to operate your new mouse.
After the 5 pages you will see mobile screen will turn green and you are ready to operate your computer remotely.
Since there is no obvious indication on your computer that you are connected to a remote mouse (only a stationary icon on the taskbar), we recommend the program if you intend to "prank" your friend. You will play indifferently with your mobile and the mouse on the computer will do its thing.
In addition to the mouse functions and the menu offered by the application on your mobile phone, you can see which programs are already running on your computer and open the corresponding windows remotely, set your own keyboard, play with caps lock , num lock, shut down, restart, lock, suspend your computer. That is, in short, to drive your computer operator crazy.
