Remote Keyboard for Pocket PC


Looking for an alternative way to enter text on your Pocket PC?

Remote Keyboard is a program that connects PC keyboard and mouse to your Pocket PC over ActiveSync connection or TCP/IP network. It works as a Soft Input Panel (SIP), also called input method, along with Keyboard, Letter Recognizer or Transcriber in Pocket PC devices.

Pocket PC Connector, one of the components, works on PC side to redirect keyboard and mouse inputs to Pocket PCs.

Using PC keyboard and mouse to entry data to your Pocket PC has never been easier. Just switch on Remote Keyboard from the corner of the screen, run Pocket PC Connector in PC then you are in business.

While using Remote Keyboard, clipboard data from PC will be sent to your Pocket PC in real time.

Remote Keyboard has been tested on wireless connected Pocket PCs (Wi-Fi or Pocket PC Phone Edition). With the feature to auto-search for peers on LAN networks, you will be ready to use keyboard from any PC in no time (within corporate or home network environments).

Remote Keyboard supports non-windows machines to connect via telnet protocol. You can use Linux or Unix workstation keyboard too.

It is fast that your mouse pointer moves smoothly on Pocket PC screen, and your key inputs appear instantly.

Remote Keyboard is a freeware program and is downright COOL! I have been very happy with it and I would expect you might enjoy having it in your collection of "neat tools" to have.
