Ever been in a situation when your computer mouse or keyboard suddenly stopped working, leaving you handicapped in the middle of some important work? It might not be possible to repair or get a new peripheral device at that very moment.
That’s when our below tip comes in handy for Android phone or tablet users. Though one can use the built-in virtual keyboard in Windows temporarily, there is no such alternative for a mouse. Luckily, an Android app offers a quick and effective solution to this problem!
WiFi Mouse is a free and great app for Android that transforms your phone into a wireless mouse, keyboard, and trackpad. The app with a simple and easy-to-use interface enables you to control your PC, MAC, or HTPC effortlessly over a common Wi-Fi network.

By converting your phone or tablet into a wireless mouse and keyboard, you can comfortably control your PC from a far distance. For typing, use the default keyboard on your Android phone along with some of the hotkeys.
Furthermore, WiFi Mouse also offers the option to adjust the mouse sensitivity and scroll sensitivity through the app settings menu.
