Many of us have an old mobile home drawer that we no longer use. We keep them under the pretext of “just in case”, those who never happen. However, we are not such a bad idea. There are many options to give them a second life: transform them into a mirror Until they do a Electronic Judas.
In my case, I took the opportunity to roll My own video game command with my Android mobile. Before you start, a brief non-liability clause: The experience with a touch screen will never be as comfortable as with an order of traditional buttons, but if you have no other option or you play very little and it is not worth buying one, it is well received.
So you can use your mobile Android as a video game command
In the Google application store, you will see many options that promise to do the same, but I will tell you what It worked for me.
This is the remote PC application (you can Free download from Play Store). Simple but with everything enough, you can use your mobile as a remote control remotely, but Also as a mouse or keyboard.
In addition to this application, you must also install its supplement on your Windows PC, the PC receiver application (Here you can download it for free).
Once you have both applications on your devices (PC and Android Mobile), you will have to Connect both to the same Wi -Fi network. After that, you open the applications, go back to the mobile screen and you will see that the name you have your PC appears in the WiFi devices list. Click on him and in a few seconds, he will be linked.
And now what? If you want to use it as PC video games, you will have to go to the section 'Layouts'. What is really interesting is that it already brings several pre-established configurations for certain very popular games, such as Forza Horizon, GTA V, Call of Duty where there are two (games, by the way), to give some examples. By clicking on him, on the pencil icon, you can modify the layout.
In case the game you are going to use does not appear on this list, there is no problem, because it also brings by default layout of the Xbox command so that you can have a more generic option.
Ready, you just need to run the game you want, select the order you want and support to open. The screen of your mobile will be automatically put in horizontal orientation and will load the chosen configuration.
You can also use it as keyboard or mouse
In this case, it's even easier, because you won't even have to select preset. Just open the application (always keeping the two teams under the same Wi -i network that we explained at the start of this tutorial) and in the first tab ('Tackpad'), you will have the surface to move the mouse, the travel bar and the left, the right and a half -boutons.
Also on this screen, you will see the keyboard icon, in the upper bar. By clicking on it, the keyboard of your mobile is displayed so that you can write directly from your Android and appear on the screen of your computer.
This way of configuring your mobile as video game control, keyboard or mouse for your PC is very simple and free, although you have to keep in mind that it contains ads.
