This application uses Bluetooth as it's communication with your computer.

Please Note: You will require the server in order for the phone to have something to talk with. The link with the installation instructions can be found below:

- On the "Mouse Area" screen, you basically have a laptop trackpad. Moving your finger controls the mouse pointer.
- Tapping once is left click.
- Tapping Twice in quick succession is right click.
- And holding your finger down will right click.
