The BEST way to take control of your computer's mouse and keyboard wirelessly through wifi. Install the Ultimate Control Receiver program on your computer (PC, Mac or Linux) and select it from the list displayed on your iPhone. ***** - A must have application! ***** - The best choice in the App Store to control your mouse and keyboard! In the "touch mode" the screen works as a touchpad. And thanks to the built in gestures, you can scroll, click by tapping or right-click performing a long press. The "pointer mode" allows you to move your mouse by moving your phones in the air, similar to the Wii remote. This option is only available for iPhone 4 and 4S models, since a gyroscope sensor is required. Enjoy the Ultimate Control experience! *download the receiver program from "www.negusoft.com/ucontrol" **This is the ad supported versión of the "Ultimate Mouse" app
