We all get to experience this when something important is coming up, things start showing sort of attitude making us realize how essential they can be, but no one has time for that especially when you have to respond to an important email but your keyboard is typing “C” when you pressed “Q” like it’s drunk,or when you have to type a document and deadline is tomorrow but your keyboard letter keys are not working.

I got stuck in the same situation: my letter keys were not working at all, I googled, watched a bunch of videos on YouTube I applied everything I was told like updating hardware, reinstalling hardware, going to the registry, doing some Abc coding on command prompt and nothing worked for me. I had to do some really important work, and I couldn’t get it fixed every shop in the city was closed due to the pandemic.

I was frustrated until I came across this helpful and handy App Unified Remote, it was a lifesaver for me, will help you too in typing that important email or writing that document. Here’s how to download, install it and make your phone a wireless keyboard:

Step 1: Go to the Google Play Store and Install Unified Remote

Step 2: Go to Unifiedremote.com through your computer, download and install the Unified Remote software. ( after being installed it will run in the background you don’t have to do anything)

Step 3: Open the app on your phone, let the app locate your server.

Step 4: After locating your computer the Unified Remote app will connect your phone to your computer. Ta-Da! Everything is set.

Step:5 Select Basic Input, you will be able to use the mouse and phone’s keyboard. If you don’t find that helpful go for the keyboard option.

You are ready to send a response to that important email which was making you anxious.
