Intel Remote Keyboard
The applications to control the computer from remotely do not they are nothing new. However, the experience of using a computer from a mobile phone is not entirely comfortable. Or it wasn't like that until now. And it is that the company Intel has decided to invest time and effort in the development of an application that allows to use the mobile as a keyboard for the computer. The surprising thing is that it is very convenient and powerful for many of its common functions.Of course, nothing like a complete keyboard to write with agility and comfort.
This is a simple application that goes one step further than anything seen so far in this genre. The idea is to be able to use the remote computer, without having to have a wireless keyboard, all from the smartphone or the tablet that you have at hand. The key is that it not only does keyboard times, but also mouse But a functional one, which allows to use gestures to display contextual menus that would otherwise force you to press on the right-click, plus other features.
The only requirement that this application demands Intel Remote Keyboard is, like the rest of its genre, to install a small program on computerThis will allow you to create the link between the PC and the mobile device almost automatically, working both on computers with the Windows 7 operating system , as in those who own Windows 8 After that you just have to start the application to activate the camera of the terminal and create the link by scanning the QR code displayed on the screen when installing the PC program. In this way, both devices remain linked and connected through the same WiFi network
From that moment on, on the screen of the mobile device, a full keyboard already appears. In this case, Intel Remote Keyboard has a real full remote keyboard, including the Windows button and even the arrows to move with them. But, again, what is surprising is its trackpack or touch mouse A blank space at the top that allows you to move the mouse by sliding your finger, as if from the integrated mouse of a laptop in question.Next to it, on the right side of the screen there is a bar that allows you to scroll through Internet pages and documents quickly and comfortably.
But the true utility of the application comes from placing the terminal in horizontal or landscape position. And it is that this way you take better advantage of all the space it offers for gestures. With this, pressing with one finger implies the same use as the left mouse click, while pressing with two fingers allows you to use the right mouse button
In short, a useful and practical tool for those who like to get away from the computer and control it from their mobile device. Without the need to make too many gestures or adventures to have a mouse and keyboard in the same application. The Intel Remote Keyboard tool is now available for Android fully free via Google Play
