![]() Universally compatible with almost any game you could conceive of on a PC (save for mouse-heavy titles like MMORPGs or an RTS), Xbox controllers are just as good for gaming on a PC as they are on an Xbox console, and many gamers still prefer to use them even when the mouse and keyboard combo is still an option at their desk. Simply put your phone and computer on the same network, link the two through the corresponding apps, and you’re good to start swiping, pinching, and pulling content around on your PC like never before. Remote Mouse is an app for your Android/iOS phone or tablet that turns your device into a mobile trackpad and keyboard, wherein all the inputs are handled over the local WiFi connection. Well, if you’re comfortable enough with texting, then controlling a PC from a distance is a cinch with the help of apps like Remote Mouse. Users who have gotten their hands on the controller ahead of its November release say the transition is seamless, and that some even prefer it over the traditional gaming setup they have at their desk.

Luckily however, consumers aren’t the only people out there who have been eyeing their living room as the new place where PC gaming will grab its next foothold our homes. ![]()
