I recently have run into Droidmote. I have a good setup at home but wanted to use my Asus Transformer as the mouse and keyboard. Took me 2 weeks to really find something that worked. Not sure if anyone is interested but I thought this was a cool find. Definitely worth the $2. Just put this on your Motorola Photon (or other android device) I have been using it on my webtop for the passed 3 hours. pretty awesome

Also posted one of my worst videos of my life posted on youtube lol, due to me being too excited. This is also the same dock I purchased for $29.99 btw

I don't think I explained what exactly I was doing. Since I dont want 2 mice and 2 keyboards on my desk looking messy, I was looking for an app to use my Transformer as the mouse and keyboard to keep things clean. This is what I was looking for...
Nice setup! Im using my TF for something similar. Using Tablet Remote, I connect the TF to a projector and use my HTC Aria as a bluetooth mouse to change ppt slides (Polaris Office) for presentations. I love the questions afterwards about the setup. Always get the,"I didnt know Ipads could do all that!" My response," They can't, that's why I use an ANDROID!!!"
Back to your setup, I like that idea of using the tablet as your mouse and keyboard also. Very sound for hygeine freaks who dont like sharing keyboard & mouse with others!

I love my TF101, and I'm as far from an Apple fanboy as you can get, but unfortunately I have to correct some misinformation here. The iPad can control presentations as well. The CEO of my company has one and controls all his presentations with it. He makes a big deal of it too, and I'm always thinking "my Transformer does that as well, cost less, and isn't chained up in the walled garden of Apple."
Back on topic, this app is perfect for using as a BT keyboard and mouse. I'm planning on setting it up at home, so I can work without being restricted to my chair at my computer desk. It gets uncomfortable during long sessions.

I want correct you:
Tablet Remote not have mouse and not have a real gamepad only DroidMote have this futures.
ehh, TabletRemote does what I need it to do: Using my phone to control the TF via BT whilst presenting. Your right, it's just a touchpad not a mouse
Back to OP, can droidmote be used on TF to desktop w/o the need for a phone inbetween?
with droidmote you can remote control an android device (phone/tablet), a windows desktop or a linux desktop.
in all three situation with your phone you can simulate a real mouse, a real keyboard a real gamepad also with accelerometer functions.
all this input device are seen from the kernel as real devices.
DroidMote is a serious remote control not only because it was developed by me
wow! droidmote is soooo responsive! im loving it! its more responsive than my rocketfish bt keyboard and mouse. this is going to be awesome! im using the htc aria and the optic wheel works great over bt. only issue ive noticed is the voice commands dont register input. other than that, its great!

Agreed, I love using this app. To Zulu, thank you sir lol. I've been using it all the time when I'm geeking it out playing BF3 on my main monitor and then music playing on my phone.
DroidMote is perfect for this really responsive and good lay out, but if your not rooted try Try Tablet Remote as a general android to android remote not got mouse control but has good interface and gamepad feature in the same style as Xperia Play. Tablet linked to TV via HDMI cable>>running tablet remote on both using gamepad to control a game on tablet and view on big screen ideal!

You can also try LANmote too if you have root, especially if you want to use your computer or Iphones as the remote

What do you use it for, has it replaced your netbook, do you use it With a dock or with the hdmi hack?
I use everyday, with lapdock and dock hd!
No I don't. I need my laptop, luckily it has clearwire LTE.
The hacked webtop is very cool, but not anything I need. I wish it could run google docs but it's too slow.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
pointless to me its way too slow and its missing way too many features to be used as a laptop
I've used it once or twice with the webtop hack and an HDMI monitor. But it hasnt replaced my laptop, nor do I see it doing so any time soon. Its a great idea but even with the full ubuntu feels rather crippled.
I use webtop dock occassionaly via HD multimedia dock. But mostly I use the wifi hotspot to give me internet access on my netbook.
i use it sometimes when i want to leave it on a hulu tv show, or youtube, or something...
I use webtop hack for hulu and streamings sites all the time. But I have $ 25 3mb/s internet service so I could "cut the cable" on cable tv and save money. I want full linux on webtop but waiting for an easier script hack hopefully.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
i use mines about every day. especially since the webtop hack came out.
I show people at work where the future is going. I don't actually use the webtop cos' I have a nice laptop!
I do however firmly believe that inside 5 years we will not be carting laptops around for work when travelling. A lot of hotel rooms have hi-def televisions already, and I think that inside 5 years we will be hauling a cellphone on trips along with a roll up bluetooth keyboard and wireless mini bluetooth mouse, using the televisions in hotel rooms as monitors while we work on Powerpoint, Excel, Word, and who knows what else. ****, there is even an AutoCAD application now.
So, in essence, I use webtop to show off and say "your iPhone can't do this"!
I've been playing with it using the hack to basically get full screen hdmi mirroring, but the refresh/redraw rate isn't good enough to pull it off.
I bought a$ 40 bluetooth keyboard and plug in my phone to my 52inch screen. Its great fun. Not so easy to navigate.

Lol! Probably not - but I generally unplug it going somewhere. Would be so funny to bring that setup to the park or something like that and set it all up lol - I bet battery drain would be pretty quick
Alright I'll say it. Desktop replacement. Just need to hook up a printer.

My laptop (Windows 7 x64) screen and keyboard are broken. I cannot see anything on the screen and my keystrokes don't register as well. Unfortunately, I am stuck with my laptop for a few weeks. Is there a way to make my TF300T (running ICS) as my laptop's keyboard? I am using the laptop HDMI output to the TV and can see the screen. It doesn't take my keystrokes anymore. Any guidance is much appreciated

Logitech USB keyboard: $15 at your local office supply store. It's always good to have a spare keyboard in the closet.
I use one with my Android tablet, and I don't understand why anyone would want to use an on-screen keyboard with any computer.
... since you said "any guidance is much appreciated."
I hope you can get a replacement for your broken laptop soon, and that you get your valuable data off of it successfully!

Here is some neat stuff I found:
http://www.logitech.com/en-us/mice-pointers/mice/touchpad-t650
This is what the OP is looking for. Like a big laptop trackpad with tons of gestures but it is $80 so probably not worth the money.
http://www.logitech.com/en-us/mice-pointers/mice/zone-touch-mouse-t400
Here is a mouse that replaces the mouse wheel with a trackpad with support for some gestures, including Windows 8 ones.
http://www.logitech.com/en-us/mice-pointers/mice/touch-mouse-t620
Finally this mouse has replaced the entire surface with a trackpad. I have no idea how awkward traditional pointing and clicking would be but it seems to be nice alternative to the traditional mouse with lots of gesture support. It is pricey though at $70 and it would probably take some time getting used to.
Hey so I bought an ouya controller when I bought my ouya but I'm thinking about exchanging it for a ps3 controller. Any thoughts on helping me make this decision. I'm hoping that I will be able to test one out before I exchange but it isn't looking good

I think the D-pad on the OUYA controller is clumsy.
For example, I've tried navigating XBMC only to find myself pulling up side menus. Its also a bit of a nightmare typing using the popup keyboard with the controller.
Now i use my PS3 controller with the PS3 wireless keypad. The keypad also has a button to enable touch like control.

Yeah I feel the same way it. It feels cheap like not worth the 50 that I spent on it. I'm trying real hard to think of a reason to keep the ouya controller since I hate to return items but it's not looking good
I personally like the PS3 better just because the dpad. I find I can get around easier and retro games are more responsive. I hate the circular dpads. Either give me a plus layout or the PS style layout.

I'm using a PS3 controler and keyboard/touchpad almost never turn the ouya controler on but I found some games and emulaters don't map the buttons right.

Yeah the Ouya controller is complete trash. Touch pad is so frustrating to navigate with and the D-Pad gets jammed and is unresponsive a lot of the time. PS3 controller all the way.

Yes you are . Thanks for the responses I'm on my way to exchange the controller.
I got it and am definitely liking it more hopefully I'll come up with a way to get this to recognize the ps3 as another ouya controller
I hope to use a PS4 controller an the Ouya to get everything.
Edit: I like the playstation layout better and if the PS4 controller works on the Ouya including the touchpad it could be a full replacement for people who like me want that layout but people who want the "X-Box" layout could use the Ouya controller.

No, you're not! I really like this controller! I think the touchpad is an awesome feature that, while isn't perfect, really makes using the OUYA easy. Personally the only thing I would fix with it is "Clicking" with the touchpad is a bit hit and miss. Also if there was a 2 finger tap-and-drag, that would make using it even better.
Personally I won't have any other controller hooked up unless I need more than the 2 OUYA controllers I have.
If only the D-Pad was a bit more responsive and less sticky then I would agree that it is a decent controller as the actual shape and feel of it is quite comfortable.
I could be hallucinating but did anyone notice slightly more input lag using the PS3 controllers?

Of all the different keyboards/mice/controllers I've tried, I know that your set up is got to be the best way to do it! Especially if you are a power user on X BMC...
Is there any way you can share with us instructions on how to pair the PS3 keypad to the ouya? I've looked all over the forums but can't seem to find one... Lots of info on the controller, but nothing on the keypad. (I've tried using the ps3 Controller pairing instructions on the keypad and have had no success)
BTW, I have the official Sony Wireless Keypad model# CECHZ1UC
I'm not using the sony one. I have an old Logitech keyboard with touchpad sold as a PS3 addon. Has some PS3 buttons on it but is mostly just bt keyboard.
