DeskDock allows you to share your computer's mouse 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 use it with your Android devices.
As seen on lifehacker.com, androidpolice.com, androidauthority.com and many more!
Features:
• Use your computer's mouse with your Android devices
• Share clipboard between computer and Android devices
• Supports Windows, Linux and macOS
• Works on all Android versions starting from 4.1
• NO rooted device required
• Shortcut for simulating multitouch

PRO Version
A PRO version is separately available with these additional features:
• Use your computer's keyboard with your Android devices
• Drag and Drop: Urls will be opened automatically, APKs will be installed (Drag and Drop does not work with Linux server)
• Additional shortcuts for turning off screen, quickly changing volume, screen brightness
• No ads
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!
Pretty cool!
Windows app is flagged as a virus
Server program contains a virus caught by Windows Defender
I have not been able to test the software due to virus warning from Google Chrome on the windows server software.
Does not work with One UI 6.0. Please fix it ASAP
This is a great app, but unfortunately it no longer works with Android 14. Hoping the developer comes around with an update and I will change this to 5 stars, because it is 5 stars when it works!
I've used DeskDock (Pro) on my phone/tablet together with my Linux laptop for years. It's the only app that also supports Linux. In addition to keyboard support, the Pro integrates to Barrier and Synergy KVM server as client. This adds the super power to use the same keyboard/mouse for multiple Android, Linux, Windows or macOS devices at the same time by just dragging the cursor. How cool is that? 😎
Added support for Android 14
