Here, are steps to use iPad as PC keyboard and mouse. You can now use your iPad as your Windows PC keyboard and mouse to remotely control PC from a distance. It can be perfectly used when you are watching movie or listening to songs sitting a bit far from your PC.
To do this, I will use “Wireless Remote Mouse” app for iPad. This iPad app lets you convert your iPad to PC mouse and keyboard. The app totally works wirelessly on a Wi-Fi network, so you can only work till you are in the Wi-Fi range. Actually the app takes the help of your internet IP and port. The IP address and port number of PC would be entered in iPad app for it to work.
