I've tried a number of things out there already, screen cast and others and none I have found either A) worked at all or B) actually let me control the phone from the computer though some I could view it, but need control of it.

Phone is RAZR Maxx, rooted, android SDK installed on Win 7 64 computer.

Anyone know of ANYTHING out there that actually works to allow me to CONTROL my phone from my computer (not just view it, one of them I found worked great for VIEWING the screen, but couldn't interact with and control it)...

Anyone? Greatly appreciated for any help.

I use Airdroid, but it seems you want more.

It might help people respond if you list what you want to control.

The entire phone...thought that was pretty clear when I included "allow me to CONTROL my phone from my computer" - I mentioned this twice in my post, actually thought I was being too repetitive since it's also in the title of the post.

Just to be even more clear on this then, essentially I want to be able to control my phone, from a window/program on my computer as though I had the phone in my hand. Switch screens, texting, making calls etc. Idea is to just be able to leave my phone plugged in sitting away from my work space a bit and use it directly on screen similar to controlling another computer via VNC.
 
Teamviewer won't do it. It will let you control your computer from your phone, but not the reverse. Airdroid is all I know of. It's not as complete as Teamviewer, but it does let you control your phone from your computer, more or less. If you want more, you'll have to either convince someone to write the software, or write it yourself. I'm not aware of anything with more features. But then I'm certainly not aware of everything that exists.
 
Actually if it wasnt for the crap ware this installs (tons of toolbars and stuff that seems like spy/mal-ware) it would be quite perfect, but it installs so much other junk I had to uninstall it. Its what I'm looking for but I'd rather pay a few bucks to get it then to deal with what it does otherwise.
