HI all, quick question, I enjoy playing Starcraft2 lying on my sofa with a wireless mouse, however, horizontal gaming with a keyboard is a bit clumbersome - now an idea I had is to use my android phone as a remote keyboard - the issue is that theres too many keys and they are too small, does anyone know how I could put 4 ar 6 large keys on the phone screen, as I only really need attack move and maybe 2 or 3 others? not sure how responsive it would be for gaming as it would be going via my wi-fi router, but would be fun to try out, any ideas?

It's do-able, you'd need to run a write and run server on your PC as well as write and run an android app for your phone. Remotedroid and gpad do something similar but I don't know of anything that does exactly what you want.

Looks good - better than Gmote (what I have now)

it worth paying for full version?

Hmm some of the less cluttered ones like the Picasa unified remote might work, if a remap some of the in game key binds... thanks I will investigate
