Controlling a computer

Chimp Paradox · 1 Dec 2014 at 20:16

My wireless logistics keyboard and track pad just broke so I'm looking for an alternative. Its for my computer in the living room attached to the TV. What are my options? Would a wacom tablet work?

Buy another keyboard+track pad?

Gotta admit, without going mad the simplest suggestions already been made

its so annoying and cumbersome, though. Wont a wacom tablet work? The top post should have said wacom, not warm!!

What is the best keyboard/trackpad combo?

Anyone got any recommendations on a wireless keyboard?

I came across this the other day, Lenovo N5902

No idea if they are any good but seems to fit your use case. You can operate it a bit like a remote and has a full keyboard on it.

Is it just for basic use? I use mouse pro on my iphone for watching tv and browsing.

Mouse Pro looks like the answer to my problems - but the reviews suck?

Try mobile mouse free first.

+1 for mobile mouse, the logitech k410 works pretty well tbh, if thats the one you had. or try one of those little ones like the Rii

Do you have a tablet (iPad or android)

Splashtop software works great.

Its not so good controlling it on a mobile phone but a tablet is perfect .... Especially if you have windows 8

Here it is running on a iPad

I use 2, i use Hippo lite, when im sat around watching tv etc, then when im out and i wanna just checkup on somthing on my PC i use teamviewer. Hippo lite just turns ya phone into a trackpad/keyboard and teamviewer remote controls your PC with screen and sound.

Both work great on iphone, not tried them ony anything else.
