Here is how you can control your PC/
laptop with your Android smartphone/
tablet using it either as keyboard or
mouse.
Android OS has increased the overall
usage domain of mobile phones in a short
period of time. Since it is always fun to do
the awesome things with your smartphone,
we are presenting a new way to use your
Android smartphone/tablet. That is as a
keyboard or mouse for your PC.
Before we begin, you must know this “this
process will only work with Intel based
PCs”. Now first of all you have to get
Android Remote Keyboard App and
software.
How to Set Up Intel Remote Keyboard
1. Download Intel Remote Keyboard
on your Android device or tablet.
2. Download and install the Intel
Remote Keyboard Host on your
Windows PC. You will need to
choose x86 or x64 depending on
your Windows. If you aren’t sure
what you are running, there are four
easy ways to know if you’re on 64-
bit Windows.
(Important: Make sure your Android
and Windows devices are
connected to the same Wi-Fi
network.)
3. On your Android phone, tap the
Windows device name.
4. Your Windows PC will now show a
large QR code. Just scan it with
your Android smartphone’s camera
(following the on-screen
instructions) and the two devices
will be paired.
5. You’re all set!
What you can do:
The App is basically a virtual trackpad and
keyboard for your computer. You can use it
in portrait or landscape mode.
In portrait mode, your screen is divided
into the trackpad area on the top and
keyboard at the bottom. Intel’s keyboard
looks much like any Android keyboard, but
also has a Windows button, an Esc button,
and the four arrow keys.

Stuff which should have been there:
There could be some enhanced controls to
fully optimise the facility. First, there is no
“continuous scrolling” , that means you
have to touch scroll button many times for
scrolling upto a large distance. Second
there is no “direct volume control” , since
it is always convenient to adjust volume by
using a dedicated key than to use mouse.
We firmly expect that these features will
be added in the upcoming updates.
