"Turn your Android into a computer mouse"

Reviewed by: Emmanuel Lund / Oct 21, 2011

Mobile Mouse Lite allows you to control your computer from the couch

First off, you need to download a Mobile Mouse desktop client from www.mobilemouse.com. There are available version for Windows, iOS, Linux and Android. Once you have installed both, the desktop client and the Android app you will be ready to run the app.

You just need to launch the desktop version and the Android app. It will automatically connect each other. If it doesn't happen, you can use the your computer IP address (that you will find in the desktop client) and the port to connect both devices. Once connected you can start to type, move the cursor (scroll it too) and click as if it really was a mouse. The free version allows you to perform that actions. However, if you upgrade to the Pro version ($2.99) you'll get a pack of six different mouses: media remote, web remote, app switcher, function key, in-air mouse, number pad. All of them will make the remote control of your computer by you even easier. It lets you perform almost everything that you can do with your physical keyboard.

Mobile Mouse has been developed by RPA Technology, and that's the only app they've launched on the market so far.

Unlike too many of this kind of apps, this really works. We haven't noticed problems nor using it either installing it (we've installed the desktop client in Ubuntu and Windows). The only catch is that the free version is too sober (at least it could include one or two of the six paid remote controls). The screen touch response could also be improved. Anyway, the app is high recommendable.

Developer's original description available here
Mobile Mouse instantly transforms your Android device into an in air, wireless remote for your computer! Sit back and use this remote to surf the web, browse your photo library or control your music player from the comfort of your couch. Mobile Mouse uses the built in accelerometer to translate your hand motions into mouse movements on your screen. It can also operate as a trackpad remote, allowing you to control your computer with a single finger. Mobile Mouse is an essential part of any home theater PC and a presenter's best friend. Mobile Mouse uses an innovative application notification system to let the app know what program you are running at any time and show the appropriate keys for that program. This allows Mobile Mouse to provide a single screen remote for controlling ALL your media and web applications. Mobile Mouse is the only app to feature a full fledged dock, just like you'd find on your Mac! Mobile Mouse supports all the most popular web and media programs for the Mac and PC. New remote definitions are automatically downloaded daily to your computer, so you will always have the newest remotes as we create them.

    Seems like the developers stopped updating this app almost a year ago. Any Android version higher than 3.0 will suffer jerky mouse movements, horrible typing experience (missed or extra characters), and a outdated GUI. Off to find an alternative!

    I used to like it, but since I've been using it on my iPod Touch more often, I can't stand this Android version. The 3 finger swipe comes in handy a lot, but Android is lacking that feature. Also, maybe it's just because I use SwiftKey, but typing is usel

    Been using this for awhile on my GS2 and it was great but since the update to JB now always says connecting even when it is connected. Slower and more jerky than it was before JB as well. Also does not format correctly on Nexus 7. Please add full JB sup
