Hi all,
I just had an idea: I was wondering, if it is possible to connect the X1 either by bluetooth, WLAN or USB to the PC and use the X1 keyboard as a keyboard for the PC.
I was also thinking, that the touchscreen could be used as a kind of touchpad (like on notebooks) to control the mouse pointer on a connected PC.
So I was searching the Internet if anybody wrote a software that can just do this, but had no luck. So my question is: Does anybody know a software that can just do this?
Cheers,
foo
P.S.: I know there are some remote controls for winamp & co but this is not what I'm looking for. Actually I'd like to have something like this for a much more smaller amount of money by using my xperia and a special software.

There's something on this very forum for a VERY small amount of money - all you have to do is learn how to search and it's yours. I'll even give you a clue - it' in the "Development & Hacking" section.
Go here http://t2remotetouch.blogspot.com
Is there a thing like that that use bluetooth only? like a usual bluetooth keyboard or mouse.
like that: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/features/bluetooth.mspx
Thanks kostis60, this goes in the right direction, though it lacks the touchpad feature which I'd need really badly. This app is more like "Windows Remote Desktop" or VNC.

Are you also referring to the application mentioned by kostis60 or is there something else?

nueUSBkeyboard is what I use - nt bothered about track pad - I think there is something that works with this but not sure of name.
And there's a paid for prg that works over bluetooth aswell but again its name slips my mind
Check out Pebbles. It allows controlling of the PC via Touchpad and Keyboard (Hard- and Softwarekeyboard). It is for free and works via Bluetooth and Wifi.
Nice Gadget but a wireless mouse and keyboard is more convenient from my perspective.
You could also use MS Remote Desktop Client to atke remote control of your PC.
Also LogMeIn works even better.
I think he is more looking for software to make the device a mouse/keyboard, not remote desktop software. These are two very different things. +1 for nueUSBkeyboard though.
Mobileremote by mobilesrc is what you are looking for.
Works like a charm for me.

MobileSRC MobileRemote Xperia Issues
Okay, is it just me or is anybody else having the following issue with the Xperia keyboard when using MobileSRC MobileRemote..?
When I use the keyboard all of the 'Blue' characters are displayed rather than the letters. The only button that also has a 'Blue' character assigned to it which works correctly is 'Q'.
The buttons without 'Blue' characters (A, S, D, F, G, @, Z, X, C, V, RETURN, TAB, DEL) work fine.
'W' gives me ", 'E' gives me /, 'R' gives me & and so on.
Shift doesn't work either.
I've tried pressing the blue button, Sym and everything else but no change.
Any ideas?
Regards
Sonny

I have the same issue, but the developer announced a new bugfix release in the next couple of weeks also including some bugfixes for hardware keyboards.
I had tried this application before. At that time, it didn't yet work well with the X1. Now, however, it's getting really close to being fully functional.. nice!
Current issues I find annoying:
- HW keyboard support (always in FN mode)
- Touchpad can't go fullscreen (except for LMB and RMB ofc)
- Connecting it is a bit awkward (though should be full auto in retail version)
I'll soon be buying a media center with my TV. I'm hoping I can get my X1 to be the HID. Little more fixes and this app will do all I need.

I bought the application and connecting works like a charm.
As I need the touchpad functionality most of the time, I bought it even with the keyboard problem - still worth the money for me
In case I have to enter something, I switch to the software keyboard.
try this
sailing clicker -
does exactly what you ask...with extra media player functions etc.

Aye, I'll be waiting for a proper release, might buy it then.
Is there a program that will allow me to plug my touch pro 2 through usb cable and use my touch pro 2 physical keyboard as a keyboard replacement for my pc
Not sure if this still applies but I used Gremote on my computer through BT..idk it works over USB though. Plus you get a touch pad and gryo. Good luck.
Try nueusbkeyboard. I work in the IT field and I use it all the time at work.

Gremote Pro isn't free though, and it's a bit overkill if all you need is a keyboard. And you need to install client (Phone) and server side (PC) software for it to work.
With NueUSBKeyboard, you just run it on your phone and the computer thinks you just plugged in a USB keyboard.

Has anyone got this working on a Verizon Touch Pro2?
Mine just says "installation failed" nomater what I try. Keyboard in, keyboard out, plugged into computer, not plugged in -- always fails.
I was wondering if you could connect a real keyboard to your hd2 to use for programs such as word or one note.
Any info?
--thanks in advanced
i would imagine maybe blutooth? not sure if it would require drivers though... search google...
Heres a thread on Bluetooth keyboards: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583553&highlight=diNovo
I can confirm that my Logitech diNovo Mini works on the HD2, just simply pair it up and it works a treat. Its a pricey method, but I didn't buy the keyboard originally for the HD2

Yup yup, I use mine on occasion with the HD2, it's not exactly portable but it does the job!
I use this one sometimes if writing a long email or word doc. it's a bluetooth keyboard but folds up nice and small

Use MyMobiler to link your HD2 to your PC via the USB cable and you can use your PC's keyboard to type things on to your HD2.
Keyboards

I paired my Logitech Dinovo Edge to my HD2, just for fun.
For portability I use a Stowaway bluetooth.
I've looked and looked but havent found it yet.
Has anyone created a mouse pointer for android or more specific the desire ?
Just a mouse pointer which u can control with the optical trackbal/thingy,
and is there a program to regulate the optical trackbal's sensitivity.
Yes it are two questions i know, but i've been looking for almost 3 days now.
I'm hoping that i used the wrong query , and that one of you guys can tell me that i didn't look good enough
and then drop a link as proof of the matter
If I may ask, what would be the point of a mouse pointer on android?
I'd like to use it for remote desktop for instance
and some times the view i select for my browser is to wide to easily select a link or something because it is to small a mouse could come in handy then.
just a few examples

for the desktop just try gmote, it is in the market.
that doesn't do the trick + i'm not going to install gmote on al my servers
i'll stick to the standard rdp client
and rdp was just an example even for chess it might come in handy
, for single hand use it is also more convenient instead of having to zoom in al the time because you're thumbs are too thick you can just use the mouse pointer.
i can't be the first who thought of it? or can i ? i used it on my windows mobile phone all the time of course winmo wasn't nearly as fingerfriendly as my desire is but still

As a remote desktop app I can advise you "Xtralogic Remote Desktop Client". It has a great way of using your mousepointer in my opinion.

Just an FYI, but you can use the trackpad to select links when browsing - very convenient if you are zoomed out.

I really want to know how and what I need to control my osx l0.5 desktop with my iconia. All I want is basically a remote keyboard and mouse on my home network.
Thanks

Cool thanks tried it out and its OK the connection isn't quite as fast as I'd like meaning mouse lag and stuff. Since no one replyd I went with vnc viewer which works really good. I probably would be able to deal with pocket cloud had I know about it and saved me 10 bucks but whatever. Wish I could utilize the tablets full screen. Why is it only look 4:3 my computer screen isn't 4:3?

Not sure if TeamViewer works for Macs, but it has a LAN mode as well, and I find it pretty quick when remoting to my HTPC and use it as a wireless remote/keyboard etc...
