Say you lost your mouse to your Mac or PC, but you have a iPhone or iPod Touch and a Wi-Fi connection. If your Mac or PC is connected to the same internet or the same Wi-Fi router, you can actually use your iPhone or iPod Touch as a mouse. You are probably thinking “How do you do this” or “How do you do this for free”? Well, with a simple (but very helpful) app called: Touch Mouse. Touch Mouse made by Logitech Inc. and is a mouse for your Mac or PC using your internet/Wi-Fi connection, Touch Mouse is free which is really nice. While there is a similar app called: Air Mouse Pro. Air Mouse Pro is $1.99, but has many, many more options and features. But just for a simple mouse, Touch Mouse will get the job done. There are two ways for Touch Mouse to work. First way is to have the correct software installed on your Mac or PC. Second is to have your computer’s IP address and enter the IP address into the field at the bottom. See the screenshot below for the two ways. Touch Mouse will get the job done perfectly and even for free.
