use pc via tablet

Hello to all! There are some programs that require a lot of pc mouse to be used.
A few months ago I saw how easy it is to use a pc windows/linux/mac remotely by a tablet/smartphone Android.
I wondered then if you can connect my pc to my tablet with cable in order to use the computer from the tablet, thus having the touchscreen and speed up operations with the mouse.
thanks
 
Not that I've found ata ll. Try a few of the remotes or remote desktop access apps in the Play Store. I like Splashtop. GMote's not a bad remote?
 
There are many apps that do this, and many threads on the subject also. Just search for "remote desktop" or "RDP" and you will find them. I myself have Imperio (paid for).
 
I use one called Jump. It was a free app of the day from Amazon a few months ago.
Works via wifi, and works like a charm.
If memory serves, it's $10. The server app for the PC is free.
I had tried another one about a year ago (can't recall the name) which wasn't very good. So when I saw Jump as a freebie from Amazon, I didn't have high expectations.
But I figured I'd try it. As I mentioned above, Jump works great. I can literally run my computer from my tablet as if I was sitting in front of it. Tried it with a mouse and that worked fine also.
