My laptop usually run on that synaptic mouse driver so when I play games like wow I'd be able to turn it off.
However, in surface pro its a built in Microsoft driver and I cant find it anywhere.
so basically when I am holding any key I wont be able to move my mouse cursor via mouse pad.
This palm feature is really helpful while we are typing but extremely annoying when we are playing games.
Anyone have any suggestion?
thanks.

Obviously tons of people use mouse and keyboard on their Android Tablets. It is much more comfortable typing and navigating using mouse and keyboard. That nice big screen makes it feel much like a computer.
I use them all the time on my phone. I sit at a desk for a good portion of my day. I can setup my phone on a stand, hook up my mouse and keyboard, and I have it at easy access without having to pick it up or really break away from my work position. I have my headset hooked up to it so if I get a call or anything, I'm right there to answer it.
Does anybody else out there use a mouse and keyboard on their phone? If not, have you considered it?
Im curently using a half size bluetooth keyboard paired to my phone (nexus 4) which is running RemoteDroid. That is used to forward keystrokes to my PC. Why? because I have a broken collarbone and cant use my fullsize wired keyboard properly So im using my phone as an intermediate device (BluetoothK/B->Phone->WiFi->PC) to be able to use the bluetooth keyboard. Putting the phone in close proximity to the K/B means It has a much better range and signal quality via WiFi. The phone itself also has a better bluetoooth receiver than any laptop or desktop USB bluetooth receivers ive tried, giving much more reliable keystrokes at higher typing speed than gong straight to PC
The problem is some of the keys dont work correctly and I believe its because Android is interpreting them differently. i.e. 'Tab/Delete/Insert/Home/End/num +/ num -.. etc' dont get forwarded to the PC,And some keystrokes are simply incorrect` i.e. the right shift key acts more like CTRL for some things. Shift+2 becomes " instead of @ (need to press alt 2 instead) and so on
In addition I have a touchpad on the little keyboard and that only works in a limitted fashion
Is there an app out there that can 'grab' the Android inputs of a device and remap them? so i.e. mouse click could be emulated as pressing the Enter key if I so wished
Additionally` is there a progam that can forward these 'raw inputs' to a PC via USB/WiFi/Bluetooth? remotedroid does indeed forward some inputs of key presses as best it can (arrow keys for instance) but it seems to do it 'after' the android OS (i.e. alt+tab makes the android program switch applications, rather than forwarding the 'alt' and 'tab' keys to the PC)
It does not however forward mouse inputs (havnt tried gamepad) so its not possible to use a mouse or trackpad as intended. I have to emulate a screen press (hold left click on trackpad and move the cursor across the remotedroid screen)
Hope the above makes sense, and yes im aware I could simply bluetooth directly to the PC but wheres the fun in that?

I am trying to play RTS games via gamestream on my laptop to my Nvidia tablet using the ipega controller.
Now it does work and im reasonably happy though i suppose it will get some getting used to.
I am using the Keyboard and Mouse mode. While controlling the game with the analog sticks and gamepadbuttons function as mouse buttons.
But i am wondering to try some other things.
Can I for example increase/decrease sensitivity of the analog sticks functioning as the mouse?
Or increase/decrease the acceleration of the pointer/analogstick..
Would be great if you can fiddle around with it.
Also one other thing I really want changed is the keyboard mode. Some default keys are mapped to the keyboard mode of the Ipega 9023.
Now ofcourse I want to use specific buttons for the game itself and switch between keyboard and mouse mode as I play my RTS.
But how would I do this? There is no documentation on this... which is annoying.
I also heard about Tincore. I installed it and it sees my controller, but not sure if this app can do what i want and how I would do this...
Also have the software from the ipega company called android gamepad center. I started it but im not sure what this software does.
EDIT:

From around 1:40 - 2:00 you see him starting the android gamepad center. If I do it like this like him, the gamepad center screen doesn't change, At my screen it just keeps saying connect blue tooth controller.
It would be interesting aswell to create virtual buttons on the screen so i could controll the game via touch screen.
Hope someone can help me on this. Thanks
Bump. Anyone have the ipega9023?

Is there something I can load into my TF300T (I am currently on Marshmallow since I want to use the Keyboard dock) so that it recognizes my Wacom Tablet as a mouse? From what I've read there are issues with the pressure sensitivity, etc. However I just want to use it as a mouse, regardless of pressure sensitivity. With apps like Autodesk or ArtRage just so I can still practice on the go.
A bit low on funds so I'm trying my best to simply work with what I have. Is there a kernel that exists to support this?
Right now, when I plug this Wacom tablet in, it lights up but there is no cursor on screen (even when I deactivate the touchpad on the keyboard, since I thought maybe it was too much interference).
I am hoping it's as simple as something I have overlooked or can DIY. A lot of the other posts I've seen are concerning themselves with the pressure sensitivity and all I'm looking to do is really just do some line work on some of the apps as if it were the cursor from a regular mouse.
Any response is appreciated!

Hello XDA community!
I've done brief google-fu trying to work around issue I have found myself struggling with with nothing to show for it so I come to ask experts because surely, this being such a fundamental problem someone must've already tackled it, right?
So my problem is, I try to use my Android device (in this case POCO X3 NFC, but considering getting Android tablet specifically for this purpose if there is a workaround to issue I'm about to describe since my iPad is nothing more than expensive paper weight it seems) as a client device to access remote desktop and use BT mouse and keyboard to go along with it. Everything is sorta kinda working... except it doesn't as soon as you get to interact with it. ESC and few other keys prioritise Android shortcuts over application, same with right mouse button. I don't think I need to explain why right mouse button closing remote desktop app (Parsec and Moonlight) and booting me back to app launcher instead of opening the context menu on remote desktop is a MAJOR problem. I've found TeamViewer to work alrightish, it catches mouse clicks and button inputs and prevent app from closing itself... if it only wasn't a steaming pile of dog**** to work on - obviously desire here is to keep using VASTLY superior remote desktop experience that either Parsec or Moonlight provides with the benefit of using BT mouse and keyboard.
Is there ANY way that Android system button shortcuts could be completely disabled? I don't want my F-keys to adjust volume... Nor do I want my ESC key or mouse right click boot me back into app launcher...
Also, as a bonus if there's a way to significantly decrease mouse cursor sensitivity it would be greatly appreciated because holy **** moving mouse 1 inch on a desk on lowest setting Android allows for would scroll through several dozen screens worth of content...
I've found this to be a problem on iOS as well but unlike iOS being left at Apple's mercy I kinda expect Android to be more maliable by end-user.
Any takers?
