DeskDock allows you to share your computer's mouse and keyboard with your Android devices via a USB cable. The app enables you to control your Android device as if it was an additional monitor for your computer. Simply move your computer's mouse cursor over the screen boundaries to start controlling your Android devices.
Features
• Use your computer's mouse and keyboard with your Android devices
• Keyboard sharing supports international keyboards (eg Umlauts)
• Share clipboard between computer and Android devices
• Drag and Drop: Urls will be opened automatically, APKs will be installed
• Shortcuts for turning off screen, multitouch, quickly changing volume, screen brightness
• Supports Windows, Linux and macOS
• Works on all Android versions starting from 4.1
• NO rooted device required
• Connect multiple Android devices to one computer
• Flexible arrangement of devices
• Customizable mouse button actions
• Customizable mouse pointer speed
DeskDock can be considered the Android equivalent of Universal Control, the feature that implements similar functionality in iPadOS and macOS.
This app could also be described as an unofficial successor to ShareKM, or an Android version of Synergy. It could also be described as a Virtual KVM Switch or a Software KVM Switch solution.
On Android O and beyond, this app uses an Accessibility Service to display a mouse cursor above the System UI. This service is used exclusively for the described purpose and is an integral requirement to provide a consistent user experience for the users of the application, in particular those who suffer from motor impairment.
This app requires a free server application to run on your computer that can be downloaded here: http://bit.ly/DeskDockServerW. The Java Runtime version 1.7 or later is needed on the computer. Depending on your system, device drivers may have to be installed.
Important: Bugs and problems might cross your way. If something does not work, please do not write bad reviews, but send an email to the support email address listed below or in the app so I actually have a chance to help you or fix the issues. Thanks!
drag & drop and Screenshot share to pc not working
buggy, keyboard sharing often doesn't work.
DeskDock is fantastic! I'm actually writing this review while using my PC keyboard how cool is that? The best part? It works wirelessly! All you need to do is connect the device using ADB, and boom, no cables necessary! Highly recommend!
I've used DeskDock Pro on my phone/tablet together with my Linux laptop for years. It's the only app of it's type that also supports Linux. It's also the only non-root Synergy/Barrier KVM client app for Android. Synergy/Barrier add the super power to use the use same keyboard/mouse for multiple Android, Linux, Windows or macOS devices simultaneusly by just dragging to mouse over. (* Barrier is a FOSS fork of Synergy)
It is great i used it for years, But i cant install the server on my new office computer. The file recognized as virus :(
Not working on Samsung devices anymore
Wonderful. Need to take sometime for successful installation. Once done,this brings new power integrating both your devices
