In general, we will tell you, even a metal detector program-is no surprise. Today's collection devoted to a less ordinary, but very useful application - input device emulators for the PC. They will be useful if, for example, the computer is connected to the TV, or simply you wanted to control the "big brother", lying on the couch.
Remote Droid
Quite old, but reliable application-emulator touchpad to input text through installed on a smartphone or tablet keyboard. Remote Droid does not require any complicated manipulations to set up, and the user just need that to install the application on the mobile device and server software - the computer.

Of the additional features worth noting interaction with various office programs from the base package Microsoft Office, access to the functions of the screen capture, management system clipboard, the ability to quickly zoom windows open.
Not without its flaws. Unfortunately, the virtual keyboard is focused on smartphones, so the tablet keys obtained disproportionately stretched and print on them is slightly blurred. In this case, all attempts to change the screen orientation application maliciously ignored.
Pros:
- emulation of mouse and keyboard;
- full-featured keyboard;
- support fast functions Microsoft Office.
Cons:
- keyboard is not adapted to the tablet screen.
Wi-Fi Mouse / Wi-Fi Mouse HD
One of the best applications that emulate controllers PC input. PC connection is made through a common Wi-Fi network with a server program. To configure the interface does not require any special skills, and further connection at all can be automated.

In addition, WiFi Mouse is familiar to users of the iMac and Macbook trackball to control the media features.

The main function of the application - mouse emulation. Developers do not have to experiment by making a simple window-panel touchpad and buttons: left and right keys, and in the middle - a field for paging and rewinding. The remaining features of the application are being marketed as aids, but they make the application so attractive. In addition to the mouse in Mouse Kit has a comfortable keyboard with additional system keys, as well as a virtual remote control for presentations through Power Point, supports gyro.

Monect Portable
This application is targeted at gamers, as well as for everyday use, as functions Monect Portable should be quite enough for office work, and for web-surfing.

But other options for controlling the computer device is converted into a full fledged gaming tool.
Keyboard approached for registration to the gaming model. Frequently used keys are highlighted in yellow-contrast, and their location will allow comfort not only to play but also to type the text. But the main thing, of course - it's a gamepad. This in Monect Portable, probably unavailable adequate competitor in Google Play.
