Wow! I was gonna get a bluetooth keyboard until I found this app: Wifi Keyboard. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS52b2xvc3l1a2l2YW4iXQ..
I'm MHL to my HDTV, multiviewed with Netflix and SMS, and browsing on my laptop. I use my laptops keyboard for all text input. It also navigates my Dolphin browser pretty well using the arrow keys, search and URL entry are very easy.

Is there some app that I can use like mouse ore something that is free. I just need it when I watch movies at night to turn pouse,play or something?
remotedroid.net
thanks man...works exelent! I write this with that app from my bad!
There's also Unified Remote which has a bunch of different interfaces dedicated to different programs, e.g. Keyboard, Mouse (multi- and single touch modes), MediaCenter, Media, Web Browsing, etc.
Also, if you have VLC on your computer, there is a VLC Remote. You might need a patched market to get it though.
Is there any app that allows me to control my pc via my Nook? I would like to be able to contol the media on my computer as a sit back and relax
My favorite app for remote desktop is Logmein its $14.99 on the app market. And works great on the Nook

There are many such apps on the Market. Have you tried Gmote?
My favorite remote app is Unified Remote, which has remotes for almost every purpose. It even saved my life when I had to give a presentation for an exam with 3 fellow students.
Nobody brought a presenter, so I quickly installed the desktop client and passed my phone to whomever was speaking next.
For a full-featured remote desktop, I settled for Android VNC Viewer. No need to pay money for Logmein.
PROTIP: Have a look at this thread I made a while ago: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1115986
Using these steps, you can launch your remote app (and any other app) right from the lockscreen. Saves me loads of time whenever I just want to adjust the volume or stuff like that.
I love Unified Remote as a plain remote.
VNC is also great for free but Logmein just rocks for me with multiple networks and stuff like that as a remote desktop app.

It may be a tad overkill for your purposes, but my favorite remote desktop app is Team Viewer.
Simple to setup, simple to use, and it's free.
For your purposes, I've heard a lot of good things about gmote, but I wasn't able to get it to work.
I use androidVNC with TightVNC server on my desktop. To lazy to get up and move the mouse for Netflix
+1 for Unified Remote
Excellent tool with lot of remotes for different situations.
This is the one I use: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.xtralogic.android.rdpclient&feature=search_result
There's also Tesla, if you use *nix on your PC.
Use teamviewer, it's free and best software I used for both Laptop & NC.
But you cannot use your PC to remote your NC via teamviewer

What settings do you use to control netflix? I was trying to do this, but the slow framerate kills any attempt to control my desktop, that and the netflix buttons don't render, so I have to guess where I'm clicking.
Other than that I'd +1 to androidVNC, suits most of my needs fine. I'll have to check out unified remote though, looks good.

Androidvnc is set up as 64 colors (1bpp) with Force full-screen bitmap on Auto, with Zoomable Scaling.
Everything renders fine for me, including the buttons. Colors are a little off, but that doesn't matter when I am only using it as a remote. On desktop side I did nothing in TightVNC except make sure that it turns off my wallpaper, just in case.
i was using pocketcloud (rdp) but hitting the menu button doesn't work anymore: No menu, no virtual mouse
I use and enjoy Splashtop Remote.
(Tried to add a URL to the market, but weren't allowed to do so. Search for Splashtop Remote HD in Android Market, that should do the trick.)
Not entirely sure what you want to control - but look into DLNA apps. You can play your media (pictures, video, audio) and control any other DLNA app/renderer (blu-ray, etc).
"Play this video on my TV" or "go to laptop, stream this music to my Nook Color". It's pretty handy stuff.
Does anyone have this app on their Prime yet?
I have it for my Droid X, with the small screen, and using it can be annoying as my desktop is set at 1920x1080.
I would hope that the screen size and resolution of the Prime would make this app much easier to use.
I've tried it on my Prime. It works well. I don't feel like it works any better than on my phone, it's just easier to see, haha.
doesn't the splashtop app that comes with the prime do the same thing? is logmein better?

LogMeIn allows you to remote into multiple PCs with just one or two clicks, not at the same time mind you.
However if you have more than one PC, you can set them all up on the same LogMeIn account and access them from any mobile device with the app or through any web browser on any internet connection.
I use it for technical support for my parents and friends.
Splashtop can do multiple PC connections too.
Tried nearly all of the remote desktop apps a while ago and purchased Splashtop because it seemed easily better than the others - in no small part because it is able to use external keyboard and mouse properly (including the Transformer dock). None of the others I tried at that time did, including Logmein.
I originally used Logmein, but switched to Splashtop remote desktop. Though i recently updated to the new version and i have to say I'm loving the new version of Logmein better. I can view multiple monitors at the same time on my Prime. Also changed the way the screen cursor works as well.

Ooh, multiple monitors - that is nice! Does it finally play nicely with external keyboard and mouse inputs though?
I took a video showing Splashtop with the Prime and a Logitech Wireless USB (Unifying receiver) over HDMI to my HDTV FWIW:
(Navigation for the connectivity demo: bluetooth keyboard and mouse with the browser @ 1:00, USB adapter with wireless USB keyboard and mouse combo @ 2:55, N64oid with high res textures and the Logitech USB Games Controller @ 6:48, Shadowgun THD optimised for Tegra 3 with a PS3 Controller @ 9:07, 1080p MKV playback from a 500GB portable HDD with Dice Player to the HDTV @ 13:11, accomanying blog piece http://www.androidnz.net/2012/01/asus-transformer-prime-video-playback.html)
Hi how can I play games on the Matricom Midnight MX2 with a wireless usb keyboard and mouse/touch pad, or any device with no touch screen?
I have a Microsoft All-in-One Media Keyboard with USB Integrated Multi Touch Track Pad :Amazon URL deleted, as system doesn't seem to like external links.
And a Logitech K400 Wireless Touch Keyboard: Amazon URL deleted, as system doesn't seem to like external links.
Of the two the Microsoft Keyboard is probably the most useful, as the trackpad supports full multi-point touch functionality, whereas the Logitech keyboard only has two finger, up, down, left right and single finger 'tap to click' functionality.
The problem is of course hardly no Android games at all were made for keyboard and trackpad functionality.
I have tried USB/BT joystick centre and Tincore Keynapper. However, both of these seem to require some extent of touch interaction with them to set them up. I don't think there is an assumption that someone will try to set them up on a non-touch enabled device.
Besides which they both seem freakishly complex and may require several hours to try to set up, if that is you can get them working, which as I said might not be straightforward in a non-touchscreen device. To be frank I would rather not have to spend hours configuring keyboard/mouse and track-pad support. I just want to plug and play if possible.
I wonder if the guys at Android X-86 have resolved this? If they have, couldn't the Matricom folks do something? This seems like something that should be enabled by default.
To be clear Keyboard and mouse support do work in Android itself, but just not in any games I have tried. One of the biggest attractions about Android is of course fun games!
Hi has anyone got an answer for this?
Hello,
I am attempting to use google remote desktop to connect my Samsung Galaxy s8+ (stock Rom, not rooted) to my windows 10 laptop to interact with an online game. Mostly for chatting or low key activities such as trading.
Everything seems to connect properly, the graphics and crisp and clear, the mouse works great, however the keyboard is not able to send any keys in game. If I open notepad I am able to send keys there so it seems as though the game is somehow blocking or not receiving the keypresses. Previously I've used TeamViewer to chat in game and that has worked fine (for the keypresses) however I've switched to Google remote desktop as TeamViewer has issues rending the game smoothly and mouse is quirky.
I'm running SwiftKey on my phone, but also swapped back to stock keyboard to see if that was the issue but even with stock keyboard I am unable to send key presses.
Does anyone have any idea why Google Remote Desktop would not be able to interact with specific applications and how to fix it?
