Controlling a PC remotely is really very useful especially if you want to use the PC as if it were a stereo and then select the songs to listen to with a remote control, or to vent a powerpoint presentation and make a great impression in company meetings.
Controlling a computer remotely can be done today with a remote control that is sold when buying a digital TV receiver or that can be purchased together with the infrared device.
However it is very complicated to use a remote control to move a mouse and above all it is impossible to use the remote control to write on the computer keyboard.
While in another article we saw how to turn off the PC, from another computer or from a mobile phone, this article presents a free tool that allows you to remotely control a computer using your mobile phone .
Not only does the mobile phone become a remote control to control applications such as Powerpoint or Windows Media player but it works in such a way as to be able to simulate the mouse and to write with the mobile phone keyboard on the computer.
First of all, I refer to other articles the guides to control a computer remotely from a mobile phone and to connect to a remote desktop from an iPhone or iPad .

On the mobile Switch download page there are two distinct programs written in java, one to be installed on your computer, the other to be installed on your mobile phone.
The program does not need any particular configuration, the only thing to pay attention to is the bluetooth connection ; therefore it is better to first associate the phone to the computer by searching for devices from the phone, using "0000" as the security code. Once configured, it is possible to use the mobile phone for remote control of applications such as Explorer, Firefox, Winamp, Windows Media Player, PowerPoint, Internet Explorer. MobileWitch can therefore be used to remotely control the mouse, to write on the keyboard, to use the commands of the most important applications and, finally, from the utility menu, to launch a remote command on the computer (the equivalent of when you do Start -> Run ") and send a video message on the computer.
This also means two things:
1) that you can use your mobile phone as if it were a wireless joypad for video games and movies.
2) that you can shutdown or restart your computer remotely by running the shutdown.exe command from the run application menu.
It supports a large number of mobiles for all brands, Android and iPhone.
For any problem with the bluetooth device, when you need to install the driver of a stick on your pc, refer to this guide to install the driver on Windows.
