I want to write an app for Android that acts as a custom keyboard for Windows PC with specific programmable buttons. Where do I start? I've tried looking for answers but all I can find is a lot of information on how to just use your android as a keyboard. What I want is a custom designed keyboard with keys I can program for a specific function. For example, I use a program on PC where I frequently use a lot of shortcuts like Ctrl+Shift+UpArrow. I'm currently using AutoHotkey and reprogrammed my NumPad with these shortcuts. I want an application on Android that I can use to do the same.
Thank you.

Try this, Salling Clicker:

It's a remote control for various apps, but it also allows you to move the mouse using your stylus. I use it on a Mac, but I think the PC version will give the same functionality.

There are some other, similar apps; see my links at http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=38236
I need help in finding an application I use to have.
I have an HTC Wizard w/wm5.
The app lets you use the keyboard on the computer to type messages on your wizard.
Any help?
Thanks in advance....
randy-
You mean 'using a PC keyboard directly on the Wizard' or 'sending messages using the Wizard through the PC' ?
For the first, you should look for Bluetooth keyboards.
For the second, check this. It enables you to type in PC directly on Wizard's screen, like a SIP.
Cheers
the best app i found is my mobiler from mymobiler.com its free and puts your phone screen on your desktop so you can use your mouse and keyboard to control it
Hello,
this might sound strange, but I need plain escape and alt keys on my hardware keyboard. The reason for that is the QEMU emulator. After testing it's android port with my DOS image (with a nice collection of games included inside) I found out that arrow keys work perfectly and games are stable, but I need to map hardware keys as alt and escape or create on-screen keyboard for QEMU (the way Windows Mobile port has). I would appreciate any help as I do not have any experience in this sphere. I couldn't donate much, but I could share my DOS image with any shareware games required other members

Thanks

I've done a search but can't seem to find what I'm looking for, if it even exists. I have a laptop hooked up to my TV and can control it from the couch with a mouse. In lieu of a Bluetooth keyboard I'll have to balance too, is there some sort of app that will allow me to type to my laptop from my tablet? Stupid question?

10 Essential Windows 8 Keyboard Shortcuts
When you’re using Windows 8 on a tablet, it’s easy enough to navigate the new OS. But if you don’t have a touch screen, there’s no need to mouse around to make key functions appear. If you know the correct Laptop Keyboard shortcuts, you can work faster and more efficiently, no matter the type of Windows 8 PC.
1. Windows Key + C: Displays Charms menu.
2. Windows Key + X: Brings up a menu of advanced system options, including Windows Control Panel, Command Prompt, Task Manager and File Explorer.
3. Windows Key + I: Displays the Settings menu for the current app. For example, if you’re in Internet Explorer 10, this key shows Internet options. If you’re on the Start menu, it shows general OS settings.
4. Windows Key + Q: Brings up the apps search menu that allows you to search your list of installed programs.
5. Windows Key + D: Activates desktop mode.
6. Windows Key + Tab: Brings up the Task Switcher and toggles between Windows 8-style apps.
7. Windows Key + H: Brings up Share menu for the current app. For example, hitting Windows Key + H in Bing Maps, lets you email or share map information on social networks.
8. Windows Key + M: Opens desktop mode and minimizes all windows.
9. Windows Key + W: Opens universal search menu and sets it to search settings.
10. Windows Key + F: Opens universal search menu and sets it to search files.
Need help with compatible parts
Hello,
by searching the web I have found that it is cheaper and easier to build a computer on your own and after watching your video "How to build a PC with Asus W Series W3Z Keyboard: The Ultimate Guide from Tek Syndicate" it looked really easy.
but I have little experience with computer parts and I am unsure if some of the parts I have picked will be compatable or fit in the case, things like that. So I know I am asking a lot (or at least I think I am) but could you guys have a look at the specs of these parts and tell me that if I build it I will have no problems or not. Also if possible could you tell me why these parts are compatable.
P.S I choose these Compatible Parts because I wanted to build a good gaming computer that can play most modern day games on Max settings. So if you could tell me if that is possible with these parts I would greatly appreciate it.
P.P.S My parents budget was $1000 and they know that all of this added up is slightly over that.
I use gremote pro app. it allows you to use the android keyboard to type into your latptop. it also has mouse control and a media remote control. it's very customisable so you can program the remote to work with whatever programs you want on your laptop. downside is the server (which you install on your laptop) costs $5 and the app is not frequently updated but it works fine on the nexus 7 (although only in portrait mode). there are similar free apps on the market but i think gremote is worth the money. i think you can download a trial server from their website which auto disconnects after 15min - should give you a good idea if it's worth it.
using splashtop or remote desktop app won't work for you cause it will change the screen resolution on your laptop so that's no good if you're hooking it up to your tv. plus it will stress out the processor some.
This is the only reason I kept my Desire Z, it is a great trackpad/keyboard input for a media centre
