What Are the Options?
There are plenty of apps available in Google Player that let you
use your phone or tablet as a wireless keyboard or mouse for a computer. Monect
can be used in this way, but it also boasts a number of other options that
cater to a variety of scenarios.
Fig2: Description of Monect
This free app can transform your phone into not only a mouse or
keyboard, but also a joystick, gamepad, media controller and much more. It’s
great for gamers, but options such as text transfer and presentation mode open
up additional opportunities. There are two components to the tool, the Android
app and the desktop server. A package containing both pieces of software can be
downloaded from its Hotfile hosting page.

launch the file named Monect-Host. You’ll probably find that your firewall
kicks in and you’ll need to allow the program to make use of your network in
order to continue.
