I just set up my Ubuntu desktop to use our living room TV as a monitor, and I would like to be able to use either my iPhone or Nexus 7 tablet as a mousepad/keyboard for controlling it from the couch. With Mac/Windows there were plenty of apps that did this, what do I need to do this using Ubuntu? And just to be clear I am NOT looking for a Remote Desktop on my phone/tablet, I want to use them as a mouse and keyboard. Thanks!
I use remotedroid. You just need to install the client on your tablet, and then connect to the local IP of your running server. It sends mouse movements, left and right click and typing.The server doesn't even need installation, is a simple .jar archive. To run it:
Now you can try the remote-touchpad, a web service for control of mouse and keyboard from external touchpad devices, without need to install a separate client to connect. To install it from snap-store, run
There is another option that I use which is GSConnect extension (Basically KDE Connect with better stablity on gnome). It has a lot of other features also as a bonus. You need KDE Connect on your android mobile / tablet also.
anyRemote can be used by:

There is an option for iPhone which acts as a trackpad and/or keyboard over Wifi. It is called TouchPad, by Edovia (the same people who made Screens). It works on iPhone and iPad, and while it was designed primarily for Mac, I have confirmed that it works on Ubuntu with only a VNC server (no special server daemon required). It costs AU$5.49 currently.
Another option to the remote control like apps mentioned above, you can connect your phone via connectbot, depending on your phone and distribution flavor there are a vriety of tutorials out there, or more general like this one -tunneling-android.html .
I like this option because I use a droid 2 and it gives me greater functional control over my desktop system that I too have set up with the living room TV. I like not leaving the couch to type anymore. :) Cheers
If the desktop PC has bluetooth connectivity, you can try to emulate a bluetooth mouse and or keyboard with your phone or tablet. This use the bluetooth HID (Human Interface Device), which is a standard bluetooth protocol: any computer having bluez installed (included in default install) is ready !
So, the main issue here is to find an application that runs on your phone or tablet that emulate a bluetooth HID. There is a question about that. On my android phone, I tried BlueputDroid which is free of charge (but has adds). Any pointer to a better app would be welcomed. It require root through, because of restriction in the android API...
So, after you launched the bluetooth HID emulation app on your phone/tablet, you just have to associate (or re-associate) it with your computer. I had to log-out for it to work, but after that any click / mouse movement / keyboard event from your phone go to your desktop PC.
Good Morning!
I had a question/suggestion that you may have gotten before, but I wanted to run it by everyone first.
I mostly use my Samsung Galaxy S9+ to remote into my PC at home. My phone has support for a usb keyboard and mouse through an adapter that comes with the phone. However, when using the keyboard and mouse through the TeamViewer app to control my pc at home, I have to hold the primary mouse button in order for the pointer on the PC to recognize the mouse movements. Now here is my question, is there a setting I can change to make the pointer behave as if I were physically sitting at my PC using the mouse, only I'm using the bluetooth mouse connected to my phone, so I don't have to hold the primary mouse button down to get the pointer to move?
I know that this can't be that common of an issue. Most people would either use another PC or just use the touch screen, but for what I want to use it for, I need the mouse and keyboard to act as if I were physically sitting at the PC I am connected to. If there isn't a setting to change, would this even be possible to implement through the TeamViewer app itself? Possibly an input selection setting? Or maybe a passthrough? If one exists already, would you be able to point me in the right direction?
Thanks for your help!
I started playing around with my android phone today and the Logos app, trying to use my bluetooth external keyboard with it. I was shocked to discover that the trackpad does not scroll at all! The arrows do not work and neither do the page up/down options. I know it's not the keyboard or trackpad since all of these navigation options work fine in MySword and in Chrome.
I typically have scrolling on so I can swipe up or down to scroll and then swipe left or right to move between tabs. Now to move between tabs I have to go down to the bottom and select the tab I want.

We are always looking for ways to improve our app. I would encourage you to post a suggestion on our feedback site about this. Other users would then be free to upvote your suggestion if they find that they are having similar issues.
I discovered a workaround for scrolling with a keyboard. It is not perfect but it is something. With scrolling selected in settings, I can move up and down in the text by double tapping on the trackpad with one finger and holding the second tap, then moving up or down the screen. This will move the screen up or down that length.
If the up or down arrows could work that would be much better, but, this is better than nothing. Not certain yet which I prefer, this workaround or turning off scrolling and using the tap/page turn. Will have to try this option to see.
Thanks for responding. I've tried 2 fingers, 1 finger, right side, left side of the screen. My bluetooth keyboard (Fintie Ultra-thin Keyboard with touchpad from Amazon) even has 3 OS options that I've tried (Windows, Android, IOS). Nothing seems to make a difference.
As a side note I have found that the side arrow work (at least in page turn mode) to cycle to different tabs which is incredibly helpful for navigation. The only real issue remaining is difficulty in copy and pasting verses on page turn mode from Logos mobile to a word processor. To make this easier I had to turn off the auto lookup because every time I clicked on a word the popup would cover the highlighted word completely! But this is only in landscape mode. Portrait mode it's fine. But with auto lookup turned off I can select a word, it highlights and then I can either choose lookup from the menu or try to highlight with the blue bars, which is really annoying. I should be able to use my trackpad and highlight normally.
1. I can "throw" the page up or down in scrolling mode if I double tap with one finger and then hold on the second tap. This will let me scroll up or down the full length of the screen (which is not that much especially in landscape mode). But, if I, after the double tap, quickly slide my finger up or down the trackpad the text will scroll on its own for quite a ways. It's not perfect. Would be better if I could use the up and down arrows on the keyboard. But...
2. One of the real deficiencies with this android app at this point is not being able to copy large portions of text (I mean a few paragraphs is difficult). When I click and hold on the start of a section I want to select and copy, it will select the word, but for the life of me I can't grab the blue arrow with the mouse, it always disappears. Selecting text the normal way (i.e. Windows) does not work, it just highlights it in yellow and actually applies a highlight. Very frustrating. Well, I turned off highlighting with a swipe in the settings and now I can click-hold to select the first word, then I can move the mouse with the trackpad still held down on the click and select in blue what is on the screen.
3. I can even go a step further and choose smart text selection in the settings so if I select part of a paragraph it will (in theory) select the rest of the paragraph, even if it is not visible on the screen. It is not perfect, but it's getting better.
