BRIEFING

Mouse & Keys turns your Android phone into a remote for PCs and Smart TVs.

  • Home hub — a live connection orb and six destinations: Touchpad, TV, PC Power, Shortcuts, Agent, Connect.
  • Touchpad — move the cursor, scroll strip on the edge, click paddles, a rotary volume dial (drag to change, tap to mute, center to play), skip keys, voice, and an Apps dock that launches PC programs in one tap. Swipe up for a full keyboard and type bar.
  • Shortcuts — a search palette: type to filter, tap to launch apps on the PC, plus your own macros.
  • PC power — a power dial: safe actions run on tap; restart and shut down need a hold with a filling ring.
  • TV — ring d-pad with a gradient OK center, volume rocker, transport, and one-tap streaming apps on Roku, Samsung, LG, Bravia, Android/Google TV.
  • Six themes — Aurora, Frost, Ember, Ocean, Rose, Photo.
  • Optional PC helper — unzip Windows MouseKeysAgent (SmartScreen may warn; unsigned) or install the Linux helper. Same Wi‑Fi → Agent → Find PC → PIN.

Needs Android 9+. Look for the phone in Bluetooth lists.

How to install
  1. Tap Open app to install (Chrome on Android).
  2. Tap the menu (⋮) → Install app or Add to Home screen.
  3. Confirm — Mouse & Keys lands on your home screen and opens fullscreen.

Icon not updating? Android keeps the first home-screen icon forever. Long-press the old Mouse & Keys icon → Remove / Uninstall, then open the app in Chrome and Install again. The new logo only appears on a fresh install.

How to run the PC helper

Windows: unzip, double-click SkitzPcAgent.exe. A PIN window appears; hide it or close it — the helper stays in the notification area (no terminal). Right-click the tray icon → Stop to quit. Uninstall from the window or the tray menu. After this version it updates itself from the SKITZ site.

Linux (Intel/AMD): extract the tar.gz, then double-click Install SKITZ PC Agent.sh (or mark it executable and open it). A PIN window appears; closing it keeps the helper running. App menu: PC Controller Agent. Stop or Uninstall from the window. Needs Python 3 (already on most Linux PCs). ARM machines use linux-arm64.

  1. On the phone, open PC Controller → Agent tab → Find PC → type the PIN shown in the helper window.

No Node.js install. Same Wi‑Fi as the phone. After pairing, the Touch pad and keyboard also go over Wi‑Fi. Bluetooth remains optional.

FREE

Free phone app. Optional PC helper.

Sideload the Android APK. Pair Bluetooth if you want, or run Skitz PC Agent on Windows or Linux for pad, keyboard, power, and shortcuts over Wi‑Fi — no Node.js, no account.
