I know there's quite a few remote apps out there, but is there a wireless keyboard app that would work with existing wireless keyboard IR receivers? Lenovo makes all sorts of small HTPC wireless keyboards, having an app that would allow the phone to communicate with their receivers would be way beyond awesome.

Just a funny idea and just thought I would share
I would like to get a keyboard and a mouse connect to my Galaxy S and use it instead of my desktop PC just as an experiment.
So my first question is what keyboard and Mouse work?
I'm guess they would need to be a bluetooth or could I get away with a usb hub?
regards,
jippie
Logitech wireless Mouse MX620
Logitech wireless Keyboard Pro 2800
Both work perfectly using the usb lead that comes with the cell phone and the dongle that comes with the mouse and keyboard.
I am interested in using the G Tablet as a thin client computing device. This would give me ultra-portability and all-day battery life. It would allow me to keep my personal life on the tablet and use remote desktop for business stuff. This way personal and business life coexists on the same device without security concerns. This isn't going to work though unless I basically make my tablet into a netbook.
I've done some research on bluetooth devices but don't have a working bluetooth mouse or keyboard yet, which is the reason for my post.
I have a Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 and so far have not been able to get it working. I tried VEGAn 5.1 and it connects but doesn't pair. I installed BlueInput for Android and couldn't get the mouse working with it either. See teksoftco.com for info on this app. It is supposed to add bluetooth HID support to Android 2.1 or newer.
I don't have a bluetooth keyboard yet - not worried about that until a mouse works.
I ordered a case with built-in USB keyboard and it is adequate. A clip blocks the mini USB port though, so I may do surgery on it to move it down a bit. The case is from witglobal.com.
Any suggestions on what ROM to work with to achieve my goal? Any other info from someone who may have this working?
I don't want to use a bluetooth device with a USB receiver - It'll just get lost or broken and be in the way. I have a dock and I think that is going to work out for my desk - just working on the mobile part.
BTW I really like the 2X Client for remote control. Only thing I am disappointed in so far is the audio doesn't seem to work.
Thanks All!
I have cyanogenmod 6.1 working with a HID mouse - no add-ons. Caveat now is getting the market working. I installed it per wiki instructions but no apps show up...off to more searching!
I use my Zpad (Malata T2) for exactly your purpose.
I guess the Zpad ROM supports this out of the box?? (I'm running the stock ROM).
My mouse is also the Microsoft 5000 Mouse (little white and black one). My keyboard is off ebay, here is the link (except I have the black one):

I use Xtralogic (by far the best RDP client)
At saying that it's not 100% perfect. Here is what doesn't work:
Delete Key
Ctrl C or V etc
Right Mouse Button (you can emulate by a long left press)
Mouse Wheel
Some special characters like; < > ^ ~ ` and probably others
Wifi & Bluetooth have issues working together, but 3G and Bluetooth is fine
I'd pay for a driver that fixes this if anyone knows of one.
Cheers, Mal
Ok, so I have the tf300 with the dock and ive been using an app called droidmote, which can be used to turn your android into a wireless mouse and keyboard, etc. What I want to know is that, is there an app that lets you use the touchpad on the dock, or a mouse connected to the tablet, that can function as the mouse with these apps, the problem I have is that while I can use the touchpad on the dock, I still need to click the screen, so its like using a touchpad for a touchpad, what would be nice is if i move the mouse then it is registered on the computer, instead of having to click and drag to a location like normal.
Hopefully someone can point me to a fix for this issue. I've connected my Note via the HDMI adapter to a monitor. My plan was to use my remote desktop app at my office. However, within the remote desktop, my bluetooth keyboard goes haywire. As I'm typing, it will repeat key strokes, change formats to crazy fonts, add spacing, etc. This problem does not occur when I'm using remote desktop on just the tablet without the HDMI monitor. Any ideas for a fix?
Update: After doing some research, it seems like my issue is not related to the HDMI adapter. It is a bluetooth keyboard / Android issue. I purchased External Keyboard Helper Pro to help stop the erratic keyboard. It has a setting to stop repeating keystrokes, which seems to solve the issue.
Is there anyway to change the WiFi channel? In allshare cast maybe?
Or the new WiFi connection it sets up?
Hello, is there any way to make my laptops keyboard and mouse to output as a controls to my phone (s7 edge) connected via usb? I know using wireless keyboard and mouse with otg and app like joystick center would be much easier but i dont have them.
