Remote Mouse brings wireless mouse and keyboard functionality to your smartphone or tablet. This application turns your mobile device into a remote mouse and keyboard.

I used to have a wireless mouse and it was great, especially when I watched movies. I would start the playback, get comfortable in my bed, and enjoy the movie. When my significant other walked in to ask me something, I could easily pause the playback. But because I was careless and broke my wireless mouse, I can’t do this anymore.

And here is where the Remote Mouse application comes in. I no longer have a wireless mouse, but I do have an Android smartphone. And thanks to the Remote Mouse application, I can use my Android as a nice replacement for my wireless mouse. Not only that, I can use my Android as a nice replacement for my keyboard. From my Android’s screen, I can control the mouse and I can also control the keyboard – all thanks to Remote Mouse!
