Very Useful Great keyboard application for the nexus 4. I use it to type out quick texts when at my computer and it works very well. Only complaint is that my screen still dims (not turn off completely) while typing with the app. As you can only see the text on the phone this is an issue and I constantly have to keep moving the phone to see what I am typing. If this could be fixed or let me see what Im typing in the browser then it would be 5 stars easy.

Good in theory This is a very good app in theory, but in practice not so much. Would be useful in sending long emails, but if I am at my desktop ill send the email from there anyway. When using Whatsapp / SMS I have to return to the phone to select emotions, and to send the message. So in practice I am going from desktop to phone, back & forth. Makes the whole process longer. Uninstalled.

Great and easy but can improve I'll keep everything concise: the application is great and does everything it adverties that it does. Pros: you can use your PC's keyboard to send keystrokes and even submit messages in text apps like Whatsapp (via the CTRL-ENTER shortcut). This is something that most other applications lack. One problem that I did encounter was the fact that, while typing, the device is not aware that you are using it and the screen dimms after a while and even turns off. After improving this, I'll give it 5 stars.

Just what I was looking for Really simple to set up and use! This app works wonderfully! Thanks for making it free! Can I say I love you? LOL! Suggestion: A Paid version includes a mouse pointer on the android device that can be controlled by either the keyboard arrow keys (hold CTRL+Arrow keys) or PC mouse. Not sure if its possible. :)

The app works pretty well when it connects. However, on both my desktop and laptop, it no longer worked after around 20 minutes. Unfortunately, there are no settings in the app to change the ip address or ports to try debugging it. I've tried uninstalling, erasing the data, deleting the cache, but it keeps choosing the same IP Address and Port which doesn't work.

Very useful & handy I've been using this app for quite a while now. I'd sure recommend this to anyone who'd like the ease of using full PC keyboard to type on phone and having basic control featureless with extra bells & whistles. Missing star: why's the widget changed to 2x2. It was good the way it was.

Simple to use and setup. <1min. I am writing this 5 star review using my computer keyboard now. I hate texting with my thumbs. This is a life saver! **Feature Request** Could you incorporate a method of switching between apps on the phone using shortcuts? Or even better, pointer control?

AWESOME. OMG, this app is incredible. If you spend time at a desk with your phone and computer on the same wireless network, this lets you control the phone as if you were using a bluetooth keyboard. Snappy, and totally versatile. Is there a home button function? I don't care, it's getting five stars anyway. SWEET.

This app solves a problem I've had for almost as long as I've had an Android phone. I frequently find myself needing to type replies into messaging apps that don't have desktop versions, and I used to have to keep a bluetooth keyboard handy just avoid fighting with the onscreen keyboard.

Perfect Works perfectly. I honestly did not expect the international keys to work, but they do -- flawlessly. Even text selection and editing is supported. Just realized there is an "edit locally & submit" mode for those who get disoriented when the text is not visible in the browser. Try that one, if you cannot resist the urge to look at the monitor.

Wow. Very impressed - nearly instantaneous response, works exceptionally well! The computer interface could use some sprucing up, but I love it. :) Yeah, I really can't stand normal, one-finger typing. /So/ glad I found this app!

Been using this since 2012, so thought I'll be doing injustice if I don't write about this. This is definitely one of the must have apps if you spend more time working on computer and you want to reply very quickly long sentences ;-). Very helpful to share content from website, links, etc. Great work Ivan!!

very convenient and usable great app ! I use it at work daily with usb cable. There are minor issues here and there (like copy/cut paste sometimes does not work), but overall it's very usable. Thanks alot

Excellent Good job done. Do not press F4 before opening the text file in android. You may lose contents. IE is also somewhat supported. Google chrome is fine. IPv6 address doesn't work. But now my money that I spent for purchasing Bluetooth keyboard are wasted as I shall not use it anymore.

Awsome, if only ... It's an essential tool and it works flawlessly. An absolutely must-have. Only big wish is the use of ssl. I'm not too happy when I use such o low level tool unencrypted over tcp, however save my wifi might apear. As the tool is especially useful for long strings like hashes or API keys which are notoriously security sensitiv, it feels even worse. You get the 5 Stars anyway. ;)

Fulfilled my need I recently had to repopulate a database contained on my phone. Typing on the phone's keyboard is never as fast as touch-typing on a conventional keyboard. You saved me HOURS of input time! Setup was easy and the response time is nice and fast. This was exactly what I needed. Thank you!

The idea is novel and the app solves the major inconvenience of using the tiny on-screen mobile keyboard. Installing the mobile app and following the instructions is overwhelming and seems like a project on its own. I like the simplicity of installing and using "Pasta: PC copy, mobile paste." I would recommend it over this app.

Best App I have been looking for something like this for a long time. I almost spent $100 on an external Bluetooth keyboard because I was getting so tired of typing on a touch screen keyboard. I despise the touch screen interface because of its inefficiency (using two fingers to type is too slow) and inconsistency (high percentage of entering in a wrong character). This is by far the best app I have downloaded all year, and quite possibly the best app I have downloaded PERIOD. Thank you.

Works great. I only wish there was a shortcut key to emulate the phone's home button (map to F5 maybe? instead of making it do the same thing as ESC), and a shortcut key to lock/unlock phone. Other than that, it's perfect.

No SSL support. Anything you type using this app can be sniffed over the local network. It's otherwise a no-fuss app that works perfectly, but you should probably pass this one up for something more secure.

Very good functionality, very ugly interface. At least change the status icon, having a red icon in notifications bar is very annoying, you always think something is wrong. if you want I can design an all-white status icon for your app for free.

Works better than I expected for a Wifi based app. Typing with it right now. Works perfect on PC. Currently typing using a wireless keyboard in my living room using a PS4. (Which unfortunately can't use arrow keys)

THIS WORKS At first I was reallyk confused but I finnaly know how :). ONCE YOU TICK WIFI KEYBOARD: Try to make the keyboard come up. While it's up swipe down notifications tap choose input method Now choose WiFi keyboard :) Just wish Mouse was supported

Works Great! I used to use 'ezKeyboard', but for some reason it doesn't work on my new phone. This app is much better, cause I can do the input/correction live on the phone. Very Nice Job!!!

Very clever, easy to set up, easy to use, BUT... Has problems. There is a delay in typing. Well that's inherent in the method. The big bug for me is the cut and paste does not work properly. Still it's a worthwhile alternative to that so hard to use android touch keyboard. Very clever.

Now I can chat with my laptop keyboard!!! Many friends are using an app called WeChat to chat and it's only available on mobile devices. There's a website version, but I don't want to scan QRcodes all the time to log in. I personally hate typing on Android and this solves the problem. GJ!

Great alternative to Bluetooth Keyboard I had almost ordered a $30 Bluetooth keyboard when I found this app. When I have to text a lot of people to remind them of their appointments, this is much faster and easier. Setting it up isn't seamless, but I've not yet been unsuccessful. Just follow the directions and you'll be fine.

Shame. I wish I had even half the experience others posting on her have expressed. The use of the app is easy enough. But on my work machine, none of the solutions ended up with a usable keyboard. I suppose maybe this is not for people on work networks. As those URLs either just hang forever... Or yield a Google search. Sincerely wish it was another way.

Great tool for working on my phone without using the tiny onscreen keyboard. Get more screen space (no keyboard in the way) plus be able to touch type on a REAL keyboard. Great for sending texts (SMS) or using other interactive apps on the phone. I do wish you could "submit" from the keyboard (e.g. ctrl-enter) and interact with the home pages to select apps, etc.

If only there was an Enter key This app would get 5 stars if it could include 3 features. First would be an Enter key for text messages. It's a bit of a pain to have to go back to the phone and hit send. Second would be a form of screen integration, again for text messaging. This would just display the sent and received messages in a box. Third would be the ability to wake up the phone. These things seem like the epitome of lazy, but It can be a hassle to keep having to stare at a phone when you are having a conversation via text message. It would be nice to just tab over, shoot back a reply, then tab back.

Really useful It's really good if I need to write a lot on my phone. Easy to use and set up as well!

Desktop client! A desktop client would be great for this amazing app. It will eliminate the hassle of command prompt adb and opening a web browser, plus more fuctionality indeed!

It works fine, in general. I was looking for something that could really speed up my text input. The on-screen input methods can work for a whole sentence or two, but not if you´re typing more than that. This app works, but it could use some improvements. Doesn´t work in FireFox, but it does work in Chrome, as mentioned in the brochures. Using copy-paste from the computer has a bad behavior. There are the text snippets that come across with no issue, and there are those that kill all the other previously imput text.

So glad I found this app - I hate swyping! Just a little tricksey to setup, great for pasting things from your laptop/desktop, especially if it's a long medical or technical term that doesn't have a generic or acronym. Use your laptop's arrow keys to navigate from form to form (like using tab keys on laptops). The address for the web browser changes occasionally, so when I load the browser bookmark and it won't load, I finally figured out to change it to the other address (the frustration of figuring that out on my own cost a star) ― last number switches back & forth between 1 or 2 (haven't seen port ever change, so the numbers before the port portion).

Usability and security I no longer need to install Skype and some other programs I can't trust on the laptop I use for sensitive information, since I'm able to run them just as well through my smartphone without loosing typing speed. This is just one application for this program. A shortcut to switch back to the built-in keyboard by swiping the notification would be helpful. Adding a setting to only listen on localhost would make it possible to add security by using an ssh tunnel. Simplicity and open-source gives the last star in this rating. Thanks!

Awesome, but no security. Works great for any typing intensive activity: programming, commenting, etc. My only gripe is that there isn't anything preventing someone on your local network controlling your phone, as there aren't any credentials required for access. I'd love to see an update with auth settings, but it's pretty cool as is.

Good, helpful, and no longer the need to painfully type onscreen! This app makes typing much easier and quicker, the setup procedure is simple and is done with quickly, and this is reasonably secure in the way that one must have activated the input method prior to it being able to be used. Once connected, the app works flawlessly - or at least so far, it has done so. The only thing I don't like about this app are the permissions it needs, primarily the one requesting recording of keystrokes and its ability to store passwords and other sensitive information typed in. I suppose that's essential for an input method application to some extent, but this can provide a bit of a security risk which is why I use the stock keyboard when typing in such information and make sure to have the Wi-Fi turned off. I don't know how much that prevents such information being stored, but its the best I can do, and this could be a problem for the security-concerned users. But for me, its better than I hoped for. I'd rate it a 3.8 out of 5

full of potential! for those wondering how to send/submit, i tried ctrl+enter, it works!! i never wrote i review before... thanks for developing this.. i hope u got acquired by google for your effort!!

Wow! Very impressed. I followed simple instructions and I'm now typing on my Android phone using my computer's keyboard. Don't know if there are bugs... but I'm very happy already.

Wonderfull Both the http option and the adb option works well. I am glad that is Open Source. I would be uncomfortable using this otherwise. Is it possible to add mouse support. Would be a nice feature.
