Have you ever thought of using your android smartphone as a mouse or keyboard for Apple's MAC or a Windows computer. If not, then I will teach you in this post. Most times it happens with us that the USB mouse of our MAC computers and Windows PC stops working. If you do not want to buy a new USB mouse then you can convert your android phone in a computer wireless mouse and use it exactly the same way as the USB computer mice.

There is an app in Google play store called the ‘Remote Mouse’.

To get the things done, you should install this app on your phone and install the remote mouse communication software on your computer. So, you can also convert your iPhone into a wireless mouse.

  1. Yeah that's all well and good but if your mouse is not working, how the h*** are you going to install the software on your computer

    1. Why would you need a mouse to install the software. Use the keyboard to install the software. Use 'Tab' key to select the file then hit enter to run the installer. You can use the 'Tab' key to select the 'OK' and 'Cancel' buttons.
