How to use your iDevice as a keyboard/mouse.
As a matter of fact I am using my iPhone as a keyboard whilst writing this.
How I came across this software is a funny story, I woke up this morning and stood on my keyboard and broke it.
So lets get cracking, what you will need is the following.
- WiFi Connection
- iDevice (Touch or Phone)
- Windows PC (You can also use this on a Mac)
- TouchMouse Server software, here.
Step 1:
On your iDevice go to the App Store and search for "TouchMouse" and install it. TouchMouse is a Logitech product that is free.
Step 2:
Install the server software (link above), once installed run the server software.
Step 3:
On your iDevice you can now run TouchMouse, once it has loaded it will search for your PC running the server software, once found it will show the name of your PC.
Step 4:
Select your PC and wait for it to connect, it may take a while depending on how far away your router is.
Step 5:
Have fun with your "new" keyboard and mouse.
I wouldn't recommend you use this all the time, I will be buying a new keyboard but this will suffice.
Oh if you have a sister like me it is fun pissing them off, when they are not looking install the server software on their PC/Laptop and let the fun begin :
