An2An Remote (Demo)
https://goo.gl/IQKFWK
Use your Android device to remote control another Android/PC device through Bluetooth or WiFi/Network.You can use your Android phone as a wireless keyboard/mouse/touchscreen, or redirect physical keyboard/mouse/controller to target device.
Benefits
- Turn wired keyboard/mouse/controller into wireless one.
- If you have a phone with built-in physical keyboard or game controller (e.g. Xperia Play, Nvidia Shield, Droid X360, JXD S5110, Yinlips G18A), you don't need to buy keyboard/controller for other devices.
- Screen is not blocked by onscreen keyboard or your finger when using another device as input, so you get better view.
- When the target device cannot connect to keyboard/mouse/controller directly (e.g. no OTG, Firmware unsupported, unrooted), you can use another compatible device as a "bridge".
- Use touchscreen apps on devices which have no physical touchscreen (e.g. Android TV Box, PC).
- Extended customizability by using together with GameKeyboard (e.g. create key/touchscreen mapping, multiple profiles, macro).
IMPORTANT
1. Keyboard feature doesn't need root.
2. Mouse/Joystick/Touchscreen features need rooted receiver device, please enable "Settings->Receiver Options->Use Root Features" from receiver devices.
3. Feature demos are provided for compatibility testing, restrictions applied when license is not purchased:
- Keyboard: only the first 2 keys pressed in the beginning of each session will work, restart the transmitter to test other keys.
- Mouse: limited to horizontal cursor movement
- Touchscreen: bounded to upper-left area
- Joystick: limited to horizontal movement of left analog stick
