Similar to other smartphone remotes, Intel’s app uses Wi-Fi to communicate between the phone
and the PC. Why this matters:
While Intel is hardly the first company to offer remote mouse software for smartphones and tablets, other apps such as Unified Remote and Mobile Mouse either cost money or are ad- supported.

Setting up the connection is easy: Just point your phone’s camera at the PC screen. Overall, it works pretty well, though the cursor seems too sensitive by default. While you can dial down cursor speed through the general mouse settings in Windows, this also affects any physical mouses you’re using, so it’s not ideal. Another nitpick: The app takes a few moments to reconnect any time you leave the app or turn off the screen.

If you’ve tried other remote mouse apps, you might miss some of their luxuries while using Intel’s version. There are no shortcut buttons for opening programs or managing windows, and no media control buttons either.

app does just a couple things, but does them well and doesn’t cost a dime, so try controlling your PC with your android device using this app.
