The connection is very stable and the response time is almost indistinguishable from you normally using your computer. Chrome Remote Desktop requires a Google account and nothing else to get started. You can use your phone as a mouse pad or a keyboard for your computer as well.

3. Serverless Bluetooth Keyboard & Mouse (prev. BleK)
BleK is a serverless tool that allows you to remotely control your Windows computer using your phone. Instead of offering a full mirrored experience, BleK is oriented more towards being able to control the little things such as your mouse, keyboard, volume controls, and other media playback right from your phone. The connection is purely done using Bluetooth and is one of the fastest ways of remotely controlling your PC or TV.
Once installed and setup, you can use BleK on your phone as a keyboard and mouse for your computer, laptop, or any television that supports Android TV. The app has a great interface for Android and new users will get used to it in no time. The only huge downside with using BleK is the fact that most of the multimedia controls, gestures, and file transfers are only available with the premium version.

4. VNC Viewer
Up next on our list is VNC Viewer, which happens to be one of the most popular services last year, primarily thanks to the pandemic and everyone suddenly finding themselves in a mess. VNC Viewer is slightly more complicated to install and setup since it is mostly used by companies to meet their server requirements. However, you can install it on your personal computer or laptop as well.
Unfortunately, VNC Viewer is a paid service but comes with a 30-day free trial. We feel that the price you’re gonna have to pay to be able to use VNC Viewer is worth it since it offers some of the best security among all the other remote desktop apps. You can use VNC Viewer as a remote on your Android or iOS device, and install it on your computer, laptop, or even a Raspberry Pi. Overall, if you wanted a slightly more powerful and sophisticated approach to remotely control your computer, VNC Viewer is a great app.
