Want to use your phone as a mouse and keyboard for the PC? Mouse Server is the Windows side of the WiFi Mouse app and turns the phone into a wireless input device. It passes mouse, keyboard, and voice-to-text input over a shared network, and also supports remote control of desktop apps and presentations.
Mouse Server sends phone input to the PC
The WiFi Mouse app turns the phone screen into a touchpad for moving the cursor and sending clicks. Touchpad gestures, drag-and-drop, and text selection are also supported, so a phone can handle common pointer tasks without a physical mouse.
For typing, the app provides a full QWERTY keyboard and supports combinations such as Ctrl+C. Voice-to-text converts speech and displays the transcription on the computer, allowing spoken text to enter the active PC field.
The phone can control apps and presentations
Dedicated controls cover third-party applications and common remote tasks. Supported examples include VLC, Spotify, YouTube and Netflix in a web browser, web browsers generally, and PowerPoint presentations. A remote-desktop mode provides login and full control of the PC.
- Game mode simulates a joystick for basic actions such as flying, jumping, and shooting.
- A PC power-off control lets the computer be shut down from the phone.
Connect both devices to the same network
Install the WiFi Mouse app on the phone and Mouse Server on the computer, then connect both devices to the same network, such as the same Wi-Fi access point. Mouse Server is run on Windows with administrator rights. The phone app uses the server to relay its input to the computer.
