I had been using a mini remote key-mouse thing.
I have gone thru 4 of those devices in 2 years, they just are not made well. Something on them always breaks.

So I found 'universal remote' android app.

You also need the server installed on the PC

I just set it up and it works fantastic. Good smooth mouse control and keyboard.
I set this up on 2 phones, and they can both work simultaneously to move the mouse etc... no interference.
It somehow uses your wireless router and home network.

I also setup 'peel remote' tv controller and it lets me turn off the TV, and also control the Sony AV receiver for sound.
