Tablet Remote

Tablet Remote let you control an Android tablet or phone with another Android device.

You can send common input like "Back", "Home", "Menu" or "Search" to the tablet, control its volume and brightness and also type words.

You can navigate in the other device like a DPad and send special command like "Play", "Next" or "Previous" which is very useful when watching a movie.

You can play games that support key input with the gamepad like most Xperia Play compatible games.

I know most virtual gamepad can't replace a real one, but with this gamepad, I'm able to easily play any platform games : it's "super mario" optimized!

Oh, your phone doesn't need to be rooted and it's free, please enjoy!
